Austin and Max take you once more into the breach before 2017 meets its maker. On today’s pod, we present to you another global and tech round-up - covering everything from bitcoin heists to Trump’s national defense strategy, and North Korean hacking. In domestic news, Max wraps up the congressional legislative calendar, taxes, and gives us a touching trek down memory lane of his frat boy days.

Night of 100 Special Guests

At last, the moment is here: The Cutaway is born. Austin Nix and Max Pegues are proud to present to you, the listener, a production delivering comic repartee and incisive commentary arranged from a bevy of domestic policies, foreign policies and maneuverings on Capitol Hill and in the White House. Anticipate whimsical musings on the White House legislative calendar, lighthearted takes on national events, as well as a multilateral approach to foreign affairs and international relations... or something like that.

We aim to take a hard look at what’s really going on at home and abroad; giving you the lay of the land as we see it. The Cutaway will cut through the noise of mainstream news, delivering straightforward, easy to understand (albeit sometimes partisan) takes on current happenings and all the details you may have missed. Disenchanted by the state of news mediums, the ways in which news is consumed, the nature of prioritizing stories and what role information plays, we will examine the core of an issue and explore the overarching trend(s) that precede and follow. In short, expect to be caught up on large scale trends that we track through what is normally a myopic news cycle. The goal of The Cutaway is to offer a dialogue you may or may not adopt, to present a largely bi-partisan (though opinionated) stance, and to furnish the listener with the absurd and the grotesque.

TLDR: We’re like the news, only funnier. And dirtier. And partisan. And don’t let your little kids or your grandma listen... well, maybe grandma is okay. I don’t know. I don’t know your grandma.

We are currently being hosted by Student Media at University of South Carolina with episodes to be released biweekly, for now.
