We promised you Kat Calvin of Spread the Vote and Project ID Action Fund would be here, and boy did we deliver! Kat joins us to chat about the golden age of ice dance, our favorite brands of paper towels, SCOTUS, COTUS, and so much more! Don’t miss it!
1/24/22 - Call and Let Us Know [w/ guest Gaby Goldstein of Sister District]
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. 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!
11/29/21 - The Thanksgiving Conspiracy Spectacular!
11/22/21 - You Should Run For Office [w/ guest Amanda Litman]
Amanda Litman (@amandalitman) from Run For Something joins us to talk about elections, and how YOU can become a candidate. Plus, we’ll dig back into inflation and tell you specifically why Joe Manchin needs to get a freaking grip. We’ve got all that, plus an in-depth look at how Jimmy Carter’s sweaters caused Kevin McCarthy to be an asshole. Don’t miss it!
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!
