In this week's episode, we interview Protect Democracy's Policy Strategist, Chris Crawford. Chris's work is focused on ensuring free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power, including staffing the National Task Force on Election Crises and managing the Faith in Elections Playbook in partnership with Interfaith America. We ask him questions like:
1) What is a free and fair election?
2) What is election security?
3) What has changed since the 2020 election?
And much more! So many of our listeners over the past two years have asked us these kinds of questions, and we thought Chris would help you learn something new *and* show how you can get more involved in the democratic process.

Hey friends! This week, we talk the tech revolution, culture, art, AI, and criticism -- all in relation to Apple's viral new iPad ad called "Crush!" Apple released the 1-minute ad this last week and received a lot of criticism from people across all walks of life and so we thought we'd join in the conversation and connect the ad to current conversations on AI.
Episode note: Here is a link to Tim Cook's X post about the ad.
Episode note: Here is the YouTube link to Apple's ad, "Crush!"

Hey friends, welcome back after a break! We missed you all. We'll catch you up on what we've been doing.
We jump back in with an episode on 2024. We particularly look at the Biden campaign and ask: is it in trouble? Would Trump win the election today? Gaza, Ukraine, protests around the US, inflation, Trump's trials -- they all feed into the state of the race.
Episode note: Ross Douthat's NYT article on the Biden campaign.
Episode note: The golden eagle lectern in all of its glory.
