Podpinions Ep. 21 - Blowing Up Hydrogen Balloons, Campus Protests & Free Speech

Campus protests, a bonkers hydrogen‑balloon story with FBI/ATF overtones, New Jersey tax pain, “paid protesters,” and the never‑ending fight about what the First Amendment covers—especially off campus and online. Grab a coffee; this one moves.

Note:
Hydrogen is extremely flammable. We’re telling stories here—not instructions. Don’t try any of this.
