PODCAST

Says Who?

Maureen Johnson and Dan Sinker

In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though. Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson, and legendary publisher of Punk Planet Magazine Dan Sinker as

FUN LADY

2023/09/27

Maureen has been out in the rain. She is damp and bedraggled. Dan is here to cheer her up with news! The WGA strike appears to be over! Collection action works! So we’ve got that going for us! Also, the government is probably going to shut down, a Democratic Senator is taking gold bars, there’s a debate happening that no one wants to watch, and Donald Trump expressed a wish to buy a Glock. But all of this is just preamble to Maureen talking about a weird meeting, and Dan recreating that meeting in

After the tribulations of last week, Maureen and Dan are back and in better form. They have nice shirts on. They’re awake. Everything’s going great! Except that there’s COVID in the house of mj. Also, she saw a good dead rat.Was last week a dream? Did that impeachment threat ever materialize? No. No one can explain it. But Hunter Biden is in the news because of a gun.

Dan hasn’t slept in four days. Maureen just had a root canal three hours ago and is still groggy from drugs.

SOMEONE GET CLINT

2023/08/23

Greetings from the road, SaysWhovia! Well, Maureen isn’t exactly on the road. She’s in Philadelphia, though occasionally sounds like she's underwater (we don't know why and apologize). But Dan very much is, and the road is not being nice to Dan. Dan is having a time of it, and it doesn’t help that the Trump Fuck Around And Find Out calendar is again targeting him personally.Yes, we’re ending a hot and weird summer and likely going into a hot and even weirder fall. So many trials. So many defendants

REACH FOR THE ORANGE

2023/08/16

Dan is off dropping the teen off at college and stopped crying long enough to record. And that's good because there has been NEWS and Maureen wants to talk about it while Dan just wants to pick oranges and weep. Anyway, there's been an indictment! No, not the Georgia one, which happened about 5 hours after these two finished recording, but the other indictment which happened just after they finished recording *last* time. Remember when this podcast used to come out only every two weeks? Yeah. Us

Cheerio! Maureen is in England, where everything is cool and rainy. There is cream and tea and cake and ice cream and teeth—all the classics. Meanwhile, Dan is somewhere in a heat swamp next to a sewage drain situation. So everything is as it should be! Dan and Maureen catch up, talking about the summer, life, how everything is on fire, and how Mitch McConnell stopped working for a while. And about indictments. So many indictments. It’s a good thing neither of them run a site called

This week, Maureen is too hot and too wet. New York is not easy in the summer. Dan has ideas to help, but Maureen is not interested. She’s also not the only person who is too hot and too wet. It’s a Climate Change Summer! How do people keep doing normal stuff while the world changes around us? Not sure!Meanwhile, Dan is preparing to send his oldest child off to college and he is…not okay! Neither is Rudy Giuliani, for that matter. And possibly Donald Trump. Their problems continue to attack Dan

Today, Dan and Maureen talk about the Russian coup—or, no they don’t. No one knows what that was about! So they get down to the new Trump tapes.

First, Maureen wants to talk about the terrible and entirely predictable story of the missing submarine. Maureen has been thinking a lot about things that go in the water as she has spent the weekend in the Thousand Islands. She suggests that SaysWhovia resettle there. It is peaceful and lush, with clear water and nice people who commute on jet skis and eat ice cream all day. Dan likes this idea, but has other things on his mind. In a move that he takes as a personal attack, Trump’s initial Florida

Greetings SaysWhovia! By the time you read this, Dan is already halfway up Big Thunder Mountain and Maureen is packing for beautiful checks notes Syracuse. Yes, it's summertime in SaysWhovia, and that means things are getting a little loose. But not so loose that Maureen and Dan miss the BIG NEWS, that the MAN THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO KILL, Mike Pence, has decided to run for president. And what better way to convince a lot of people that literally erected a gallows in your honor to vote for you than

2023/05/24

Welcome to this week’s Says Who, where… oh, Maureen’s already off the rails. She needs to tell you all about her gynecologist’s TV career and all of his bees. Dan tries to steer the car back on to the road to Florida, where Ron DeSantis continues tilting at windmills and Marco Rubio gets mad at a distant baseball game. But Maureen lunges for the wheel again. Since this week is about weird hobbies and grifters, why not bring it all home to the Says Who commune. Maureen has a plan to fund it. Dan

SOMEBODY GET GARY

2023/05/17

Well, SaysWhovia, we begin this week with tales of Rudy Giuliani—terrible tales that Dan and Maureen go over in not great detail, because the details are not great. (For those worried about the more upsetting content, we skip this completely. We’ve got your back on this.) There are tales of pardons for sale and bags of phones. Which somehow leads Dan to a long discussion of the Most Dan Side Quest Ever, and the adventures of an imaginary Ron and fake Paul Stanley from KISS, a sinkhole, a suitcase

In a SaysWho first, Dan and Maureen break into their own podcast with... another podcast. Literally the moment after they finished recording today's episode which was about the E Jean Carroll lawsuit against Donald Trump, the verdict came in. So, back to the microphones! Then, during that, George Santos is charged with…something? So, it's one of those easy days. Also Maureen may have a new boyfriend.Hold on to your butts, SayWhovia. This one comes at you fast.

HARRY POTTER AND THE GO F**K YOURSELF STONE

2023/05/03

Once again, Maureen is in Pennsylvania, surrounded by eagles, beavers, turtles, and floating sheds. Dan is in Chicago, marveling at the new adult human he has produced. And that’s it!Well, until Dan goes pro and gets to the news. Trans rights and humanity are under attack, and Maureen…well, Maureen goes off.(Content note: trans friends, this one should be a-okay to listen to because instead of hearing bad stuff with no pushback you get to listen to Maureen throwing f-bombs at a once-beloved wizard
