Weekly Warp 2: Portland Boogaloo

Welcome to PST's Weekly Warp: our new weekly series focusing on current events that catch our eye. This week we look at Trump's weight-lifting routine, how invisibility is the new norm for COVID data, and the anonymous federal crack down on protests in Portland.

Public Space Travel is a podcast dedicated to social/political critique, comedy, and education. Coming from an anti-hierarchy/oppression perspective, we aim for progressive/radical left solidarity with brothers/sisters/trans and non-binary folk of all stripes.

We want to discuss and examine topics (or interview people) that you want to hear about, as well as make corrections for things we’ve said. Reach out to us: [e-mail] Voice Mail: [phone] Twitter: @PublicSpacePod
