An older woman's defense of the primary's young female voters. A guest post from this week's podcast guest, Carla Nordstrom.
BTL #189 - George's Little Brother - 2/22/16
This week on the podcast, Carla Nordstrom joins us for our coverage of the Nevada Caucus results, the fully bonkers South Carolina GOP primary results, a finally tally of what money can't buy you care of a now exclamation point-less Jeb, and Donald Trump's latest sparring partner, Pope Francis. Naturally we didn't forget to bring you this week's crazy Scalia conspiracy theories and make sure to listen to Carla's editorial on young voters and the Democratic Party! Yet another can't-miss week and more are on the way!
BTL #187 - Disappointing Wins, Victorious Losses - 2/8/16
This week on BTL, literally everything happened. The Iowa Caucuses! A Democratic Debate! A Republican Debate! It was a bonanza of everything we love and hold dear. We've got caucus results, polling heading into New Hampshire (it's on Tuesday!), and rampant speculation about South Carolina, plus, find our why we're totally over Chris Wallace, totally into DeRay McKesson, and totally pissed at Gloria Steinem. And if all that wasn't enough, Sinkhole Radio is back! What a whirlwind!
There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016
BTL #184 - #HillaryPillory, The Movement - 1/18/16
Join us this week on BTL as we discuss where our medium tolerance of the idea of maybe voting for Hillary Clinton in the general met it's natural end. Misrepresenting corporate ties was one (bad) thing, but misrepresenting single-payer healthcare and Bernie Sander's (superior) health platform is where we draw the line. We're legit not having her in any way shape or form! Come for the rage, stay for our rundowns of the rest of this action-packed week: Tuesday's State of the Union, Thursday's GOP Debate, Sunday's Dem Debate, and the latest on Iran followed by our coverage of the infuriating/criminal Flint, MI water situation. The episode is long but worth it!
BTL #181 - Talk Of Retirement - 12/20/15
This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we're joining the chorus of people who think it's time for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to give up the ghost and leave the DNC in less compromised/incompetant hands. Though even her Saturday debate scheduling couldn't stop us from sort of semi-watching the Dem Debate, most of what we took away involved Martin O'Malley being super irrelevant and a little sad. One debate we didn't snore through, however, was last week's GOP debate because GUYS it was 25% fresh shenanigans (though, sadly, also 75% warmongering)! Tune in for our rundown of both debates and more before we disappear for two full weeks into the Christmas ether!
