The situation with Jerzee Joe
A fast-paced half-hour show that brings news stories you won’t hear on TV or perspectives on stories you may have heard on your TV but the media decided not to broadcast. You might hear a story about members of one political party voting against a piece of legislation with an altruistic name like “The save the baby seals act,” but they will never tell you why. When you hear the real reason, you might want to thank them for voting the way they did. We cover 4-5 topics ranging from politics to the environment; to energy to developments in the world of science, plus the quote of the day.
