On this episode of the Broad Street Review/REP Radio podcast, we discuss 1812 Productions' annual political satire This Is the Week That Is (TIWTI). Meet Sean Close and new cast member Nia-Samara Benjamin, both of whom appear in TIWTI's "Election Special." Can you guess what we talked about?

Why should Saturday Night Live have all the fun this election cycle? Host Darnelle Radford, Benjamin, and Close give you the local lowdown on how to suck up all the year's dirty politics without getting sick.
