Grey Gamers, The "Woke" Debate, and the Things Politicians Lie About

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing yet often overlooked market of older gamers and asked why so few companies are creating games specifically for retirees. Today’s unpopular opinion was: the word "woke" is a meaningless political dog whistle and has become more of a political label than a useful description. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 people: "Name something politicians lie about." The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.
