The Fakist Headlines Collection

The Fakist Headlines was a spinoff podcast produced in 2019 where Paul DaFoe reported on real news for some reason. After a short run, we decided to wait until Season 3 to squeeze the last drops out of this concept. Still, we produced a lot of fun stuff. Enjoy!

Look for The Fakist Season 3, coming soon!
