Purple Political Breakdown

The current landscape of politics in this era is arguably the most ideologically split it's ever been. We have people on the left and right, liberal and conservative, democrat and republican who utterly despise one another and most times refuse to even have a discussion. So I'm here to push the needle and force conversation amongst the most controversial and informative topics in Society! This is the Purple Political Breakdown a new podcast that will change the way we view politics.

Pentagon Wants to Livestream an Execution, Trump Buys Russian Diesel & Adobe vs AI Photoshop Clone!

I'm back after a few weeks off, and the show has a new format: less script, more conversation with the live chat. I start with where I've been.

Podcast Host

Navigating the vast amount of bouncing around the political spectrum my entire life I have finally figured something important out. It doesn't matter. I've been religious, been in the military, went to a liberal school and all in all none of the political biases matter. We shouldn't let toxic discourse cloud our judgement and find a solution through logic and conversation. In pursuit of this mission I created this podcast to focus on these important conversations.
