The Bob Cesca Show

In case you're new to the podcast, Buzz was my Tuesday co-host from 2017 through 2024. Before that, he was the host of his own podcast called Buzz Burbank News and Comment.

We react to the death of Charlie Kirk and what might happen next as political tensions escalate in these dark times. Donald Trump's irresponsible reaction.
