S3E04: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Credulous ft. Giusppe Porcaro - a podcast by Raj Thomas, Rowan Emslie and Warren Peace

Covering things we missed in the last two weeks: The big vote of no confidence! We are referring of course to Greek president Alexis Tsipras, who survived a confidence vote this week, something that as many as six people in the UK noticed.
