Week 67 Spotlight: The Old Man and the Socialist
In past years, those looking to be scared on Halloween might pop in a DVD of their favorite vampire or zombie movie. This year, however, if you want to be scared, all you need to do is turn on CNN or MSNBC and watch the stories about our failing economy or the never-ending War in Iraq.
While the United States can be a very scary place these days, a change is coming. In four days, America will elect a new president – either Barack Obama or John McCain (sorry Ron Paul and Ralph Nader fans). In order to make sense of all that has happened in this year’s election, Joel Murphy is joined this week by HoboTrashcan’s senior political adviser – Bubby.
Does Barack Obama have this election wrapped up? What will happen to the Republican Party (and Sarah Palin) if McCain loses? Since Lars has the week off, will Joel actually go a whole show without mentioning Batman? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
Hobo Radio is the official podcast of HoboTrashcan, brought to you by The Podcast Network.

That was terrible. It felt like there was gaping whole where a famed talent used to be. Why you would choose to attempt a show without the intelligence and wit of the great Lars is beyond me. I hope he’s back next week, because if he isn’t, we won’t be either.

I wasn’t aware that Lars’ mom was now posting comments under the name Guy Incognito, but thanks for checking in Mrs. Periwinkle.
