The Inordinary Things Podcast includes one host and a different set of guests per episode who share their experience/expertise on any random subject: whether it's football, politics, life, or just geekdom, this podcast covers it all!
Not even a week into 2021 and the previously unthinkable has happened once more: hundreds of pro-Trump protestors, clad in MAGA hats and waving Donald Trump flags, force their way into the US Capitol building. Some even went as far as barging into the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, casually taking pictures with their feet on her desk and her workspace ruined.
But it could happen here in the Philippines? And what are the long term consequences on US politics?
Guest: UP Law student Kobe, on the show for thee 2nd time and once again providing his insights on the craziest of times
