Marble Halls & Silver Screens Podcast ep.29 -- Condescending Staircase Edition

Covering the connection of DC politics and Hollywood entertainment as they contribute to our culture.

Following a slight delay for personal activities (Sarah danced with Broadway professionals — Brad was playing in the actual swamp) the show has returned, loaded with content. It’s been a busy week in both Capital City, and Burbank, and your hosts were on point.

There is international trade, domestic protests, a Hollywood star gets blemished, and other stars display their ignorance. The media was acting up, actors were media upchucking, and social media was its usual jungle of distemper. Your brave podcast duo faced all of these challenges and fixed EVERYTHING, so take comfort – you are in good hands.
