We dive into Aaron McGruder's smash hit for Adult Swim, and we're joined by Struggle Session host Leslie Lee III to discuss the show's debut episode! Chosen by premium patron Royce, your hosts dive into how McGruder got his start, how he transformed a newspaper comic strip into an anime-infused political satire, and how the series feels 14 years later! Listen now and remember: Ronald Reagan is The Devil.
