Kristin Urquiza from Marked By Covid joins us to talk about advocacy, public health policy, and the pandemic (surprise! It’s not over!) And, even by Florida’s own insane metrics, the FL legislature was up to some pretty horrible antics this week. Plus, is it the end of the Iowa Caucus? Is Brent still mad at Joe Bident about going back to the office? Is Donald Trump spinning all the gay anthems at Mar-a-Lago? Listen to find out!
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!

We hope you had your Margarita and Kickboxing class, because this podcast is epic. First, Gaby Goldstein (@gaby_goldstein) of Sister District joins us to chat about the mid-terms and the importance of down-ballot races. Plus, we’ll give you all the lowlights of the 2 hour Biden presser. Toplines are: everything is going better than anyone could have expected, so that’s great to hear! Plus we’ve got stories about monkey queens and human litter boxes, because…of course we do. Don’t miss it!
1/19/22 - Veep Is Supposed To Be A Parody
We’re back for a mid-week podcast because we couldn’t record over the long weekend but WE HAVE THINGS TO SAY. And those things are: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are failures, and Hillary Clinton ‘24 isn’t the solution. So if you’re down for 40 minutes of that (and who isn’t, really?) then this episode is a real banger.
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.

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!
