What broke? What still holds? And where do we go from here? CLUB NORMIE IS FOR:  Socially and Politically homeless. Independent-ish.  Old-school in the way that used to be… just school. Looking to understand when did normal get so weird?  Strollers with dogs in them. People telling their deepest fears to Chat-Gpt. Socialism is hip.  Every relationship now comes with an org chart — who is the victim and who is the powerful.  Ah what? This is crazy -- no?  Host Jennifer Weissmann. Normie (n.) — politically homeless, socially confused, and pretty sure the elevator used to involve eye contact. You're not crazy. You're just a normie. New episodes weekly.
