On Fear & Malding Hasan Piker and Will Neff look at recent events from a left-leaning, satirical point of view. In an era where real life events transcend any comedic writing, Fear & Malding attempts to make sense of the senseless mania by looking at the material reasons behind actions, and offers historical perspective when necessary. Hasan and Will refuse to shy away from asking important questions like "Are democratic politicians intergalactic space vampires?", "Does Nancy Pelosi smell like sulfur?", and "Is there a more valiant social justice cause than Intactivisim?"

episode 30: Blackface Sensitivity Training
Hasan and Will are back at it this week, telling us about a tech company that’s been criticized for “digital blackface” after using using white actors to portray people of color to help build — no joke— racial sensitivity. And while we’re on the subject of companies currently under fire for inexplicable conduct, the boys give us their take on the online mortgage lender whose CEO fired 900 employees on a Zoom call. Then Will gives Hasan the lowdown on the time that Kanye West dropped a bomb of a comment on the Katrina Telethon on Live Television back in 2005.
