Winners and Losers Show
The Winners and Losers Show with Hank Thompson features the honest, unique and hilarious perspective of a lifelong human — from the news of the week, the horrors of politics, a science story or two and the overlapping systems tying it all together, plus books, shows, movies, games and anticapitalist rants! Hank's trademark bluntness and creativity sources from his experience as a stand up comedian, an injured woodworker, a professional video editor who's worked in "progressive" media (The Young Turks, The Jimmy Dore Show) and as a late-identified autistic.
