S30·E140 December 9, 2025 - Cory Doctorow

Ronny Chieng covers the latest on the Trump administration's petty changes to free-entry days at national parks, the president's promise to bail out farmers after f**king up the economy, Melania's attempt to spread some yuletide cheer, and Sean Duffy's Department of Transportation press conference that turned into a d**k-measuring contest against RFK Jr. On another edition of Who Won It Best, Desi Lydic and Troy Iwata recap the FIFA World Cup Draw and Peace Prize Ceremony, the biggest award show you've never heard of, where the balls were mingled, the Village People performed the "YMCA," and Trump received a trophy, medal, and certificate before jetting over to the Kennedy Center Honors to make KISS's big night all about himself. Journalist, internet activist, and author Cory Doctorow talks to Ronny Chieng about the concept behind his latest book, "Enshittification," which breaks down how tech giants made the internet worse for everybody by locking in users only to turn on them.
