We’re back, and just in time to tell you about all of the racist nonsense going on at LA City Hall. Good lord.

3/7/22 - Don't Say BBB (w/Dakota Hall from Alliance For Youth Action)
Dakota Hall, Executive Director of Alliance for Youth Action, joins us to talk about the youth vote, the State of the Union address, and to inform us (much to our horror) that children born in the year of our lord 2010 are almost teenagers. So…that’s a lot to think about, friends. A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. It’s a great episode and we think you’re really going to love it!

1/10/22 - Thanks, Teachers! (w/Guest Carissa Byrne Hessick)
We took some time off for the holidays and to get Covid, but now we’re BACK for year 3 of 2020. And to help us celebrate our return, we have a very special guest, Carissa Byrne Hessick (@cbhessick), law professor at University of North Carolina. We’ll chat plea bargains, January 6th, and Elizabeth Holmes. Then, Lila and Brent take on the problem(s) with the administration’s covid response, and the insanity of making teacher’s unions the bad guys. Don’t miss this supersized episode!
11/15/21 - Mayo Pete
Due to some post-Lila birthday party fatigue, we’ve got a totally different podcast for you this week! As promised on twitter, we deliver a lengthy review of Mayor Pete (a review of both the film, and the human). Lila digs into why he’s not such a wildly “different” candidate after all, and Brent plays armchair psychiatrist to explain his lack of human emotion. Check it out!
