The Show

 

When it comes to understanding political issues, Richie is a self confessed toddler. That’s why he’s enlisted the help of Steve, his politically savvy drinking buddy, to help him understand how government effects our everyday lives and our interactions with each other.

Join them, as they break down big political issues into comedic bite size bits and try to figure out, What am politics?
