The U.S. in Venezuela: Why Is Corporate Media Being So Weird? (Half the Answer #57, with Marisa Kabas)

Trent and Caitlin check in with The Handbasket’s Marisa Kabas about the year that has been the first week of 2026. What are we doing in Venezuela, and why is corporate media being so weird about it?

Half the Answer can be heard on Spotify, on Apple, on YouTube, on Amazon, and elsewhere via its RSS feed.
