Those Muckrakers
Based on the long tradition of Muckraking journalism exposing corruption Two guys bring you the news every week and tell you why you're not alone screaming into the void. We're all going to die in the apocalypse, but at least the Muckrakers saw it coming, talked about it and made fun of it. So while your scramble to keep the fire lit and fend off the wolves that are closing in, come listen and laugh and just maybe survive just a little bit longer.

Businesses demand not just your time but your feigning of emotions as well; suffering is not enough, you have to put on a happy face while grease from the fryer burns you and the boss gropes you. Starving on the streets is the only alternative in a world where capitalism is the law of the land!
