Drive-by podcast rec: No Gods No Mayors

In which three friends (two trans women and the cis man they lovingly bully) sit down to talk about every mayor ever.

I got into it via their episode on Darryn Lyons, former mayor of Geelong (accurately described in the episode as Australia's New Jersey), then listened to their episodes on Rudy Giuliani and Rob Ford, and then signed up to their Patreon for the second halves of their episodes on Giuliani and Ford. (I do not love this release model, but at the same time, the paywalled episodes are EXTREMELY worth it. I've linked straight to the Patreon, not least because they don't seem to have a website beyond it, and linking to an RSS feed is annoying.)

As a person who enjoys politics, petty corruption and shenanigans, this is very much the podcast for me; the running gag about Rob Ford being the Kwizatz Haderach of bad mayors makes me think it is also the podcast for sabotabby. I'm going through the backlog, and next after Boris Johnson is Eric Adams, and my. body. is. ready.
