  • Best of the week

    I've been listening to the guys for years and I look forward to Weekly Skews every week. Never miss it. Smart and funny is perfect right now and Trae and Smart Mark are just what I need. Worth the listen and follow them down the rabbit hole to car rants, stand up specials, hysterical sketches, the Puttin' on Airs podcast, and the Wellred podcast. Right now I thank goodness for them! I need the LOLs.

  • Weekly ads!

    First off Trae has an overly exaggerated accent that’s like nails on a chalkboard but at least you can understand him. Mark mumbles so bad I can’t catch what he’s saying at times and the more excited he gets the harder he is to understand. This was tolerable until they started with ad breaks. One star! There’s better podcasts out there.

  • Love me some Smart Mark

    I look forward each week to the Weekly Skews. Sure, the news can be pretty dystopian at times, but it’s delivered with a big side order of humor by Mark Agee. He really is smart, and knowledgeable, and perceptive about how policy and technology developments are going to affect Americans’ future.

  • Zombie MAGA’s and Mr Magoo Trump

    The MAGAs who are working hard to destroy democracy are literally mindless, soulless, evil zombies. And Trump is Mr. Magoo - the blind, ever- moving, non-stopping cartoon character that continues on his evil path of destroying our country.

  • Mark talks way too fast

    Love Trae, but Mark talks so fast I can barely understand what he’s saying, so I don’t really listen to it as often as other podcasts that discuss politics. Slow down dude.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6 Ep22: Good Skews – The Crack in Live Nation's Monopoly (with Devon Léger)
Q: What are some practical pivots or alternatives that communities are using to sustain live music?
Pivots include leveraging underutilized rural and urban venues, developing co-ops like Connor Burn Pub, promoting house concerts where artists keep most of the money, and building media coverage through local outlets like Seattle Picks to highlight regional talent and events.
S6 Ep22: Good Skews – The Crack in Live Nation's Monopoly (with Devon Léger)
Q: Could you summarize what's happening with Live Nation and why it matters for regional music scenes?
Live Nation is described as a near-monopoly controlling venues, artist promotion, production, and ticketing through Ticketmaster, which allows predatory pricing and market control that squeeze independent promoters and local scenes. The guest emphasizes that this consolidation harms communities and slows down the development of grassroots music ecosystems.
Weekly Skews – The Eye of Sauron, with Rep. Aftyn Behn
Q: What is your stance on the privatization of the Tennessee Valley Authority?
Aftyn Behn mentioned that the privatization of TVA is a critical issue in her district and she is actively working to prevent it.
