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!
1/31/22 - More Binders Full of Women (w/Guest Kat Calvin)
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!
11/8/21 - The Congressional MLM Caucus (w/guest Laura Packard)
What a blast we had chatting with healthcare activist and Executive Director of Health Care Voter, Laura Packard! We discuss what’s left in the Build Back Better bill, and what Democrats can do to move the ball forward on healthcare in the wake of this week’s election results in Virginia, and leading into next year’s midterms. It’s a fun and substantive conversation, so don’t miss it!
11/1/21 - When Dad Bods Take Europe
10/11/21 - Invented Problems
Well friends, this week we’ve got two of everyone’s favorite topics: The debt ceiling and the jobs reports. Think you can’t make those topics funny? Well, you might be right, but we sure tried! Plus we’ll give you the latest on infrastructure. Hint: it’s still crumbling. All this, plus the return of SINKHOLE RADIO.
