About this episode

The episode discusses Graham Platner's withdrawal from the Maine Senate race and Donald Trump's interference in the World Cup, featuring a comedic news roundup.

It’s been a week of twists and turns with Graham Platner dropping out of the Maine Senate race, and Trump interfering with the World Cup only for the USA to promptly lose. And for LA locals, all of this is in the warm, chemical-y afterglow of the Boyle Heights cold storage facility fire! Smell that? No, not the ash and carcinogens! It’s a fresh news roundup with writer and comedian Amy Silverberg and LA Material editorial director Julia Wick. -- SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconover SEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/ SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on: » Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577 » Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJ About Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
