Checking in With Friends During Scary Times: Paul F. Tompkins, Ana Marie Cox, and Gary Gulman

Maybe you’re one of those people who dreads even looking at the
news these days, with stories of layoffs, tariffs, upheaval in
foreign policy, and a lack of knowledge as to where this is all
going and what it might mean for the future of America and the
world. It’s a tumultuous time. When things are chaotic, it can be
good to check in with one’s friends and that’s what Depresh Mode
does this week. We have conversations of commiseration, of humor,
and of hope with comedian and actor Paul F. Tompkins, pundit and
writer Ana Marie Cox, and comic and author Gary Gulman.
