In this garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux dives into a wide range of provocative, humorous, and deeply critical topics. From government waste to wild stories from around the globe, Jeremy questions the logic of politicians, bureaucrats, and society’s ever-changing standards.
