Part 2: Ukraine Explained with Dr. Margarita M. Balmaceda, Associate at Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

We’re back with part two of our Ukraine explained series with Dr. Margarita M. Balmaceda, Associate at Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and Professor at SHU School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Taking this conflict from a different angle, this episode we learn about the economic elements of this crisis. Specifically, we talk about sanctions, their impact – what they even are in the first place – the industries that have created the geopolitical positioning of late in the region, and more. We also step back and define terms we’ve been hearing 3000x a day without a definition in sight, like Oligarch, Autocrat, Mutually Assured Destruction, and so on. For a further deep dive, make sure to check our Dr. Balmaceda’s new book, Russian Energy Chains: the Remaking of Technopolitics from Siberia to Ukraine to the European Union, and her Twitter.

TW: A Convo with Professor Michele Dauber, Chair of Enough is Enough Project Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

TW: The following episode contains conversations on spousal rape and domestic violence. This episode takes toward a topic we haven’t yet covered – the policy matters of domestic violence, spousal rape, and more. A conversation that makes you yet again scratch your head at how many laws could possibly exist (or not exist) in 2022, we discuss where policy is currently on violence against women. More specifically, through our interview with Professor Michele Dauber, Chair of Enough is Enough Project, we also learn about the initiative that Enough is Enough is working on, which is to make violence against women a voting issue.

Fangirl alert – this episode features an interview with an activist that we look up to in all the ways. Like, we are still screaming that she came on the show. Jamira Burley, the Director of Social Impact for Adidas North America joined us this week for a conversation on corporate responsibility. Tapping into understanding what this means as a whole, what corporations are doing (or not doing) in terms of moving the social impact needle, and more, our conversation looks at the power consumers (it’s kind of like another ballot box if you will).

Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-3) Shares His Race for NY Governor & More! Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

If you love us for our tangents, this episode is going to hit it out of the ball park for you. Why is that? Because the tangent queens met a tangent king, and his name is Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-3). Our very first federal elected official on the show, Congressman Suozzi helped us understand the Ways and Means Committee, Taxes (yes, seasonally appropriate AF), and the issues he’s running on as he switches his focus to his campaign for NY Governor. Our conversation covers the waterfront on why he’s running, why now, and why his background makes him a fit for the job. A double whammy, this episode includes federal and state politics, AND a 2022 midterm election race.

The TMZ of Politics with Sarah Bryner, Director of Research & Strategy at OpenSecrets Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

We often waiver between calling this organization the TMZ of politics and the Deux Moi of Politics, but either way OpenSecrets brings the tea. Piping hot in fact, because in the world of politics it’s all about that money honey. Some may follow the yellow brick road, but OpenSecrets follows the money, seeing which politicians are funded by who, what companies are throwing their dollars to the dark side and more. Cue this interview with Sarah Bryner, Director of Research & Strategy at OpenSecrets who gives us the scoop on how it all works, what OpenSecrets does, and its impact. This convo had us loving OpenSecrets even more than we already did and we can’t recommend diving in feet first more.
