Host Information
Politically Re-Active with W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu
With the political circus of the 2016 presidential election heating up, you can laugh or you can cry. Choose to laugh. Comedians and longtime friends W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu have a shared curiosity about our political process and constantly changing electoral landscape. Whether it's an interest in exposing the unjust or the absurd, you can count on Hari and Kamau to ask the important "why?" Why do we have super delegates? Why are people still having such trouble voting? Why was Joe the Plumber a thing? They'll try to answer questions like those each and every week throughout the election.
