Digital Media x Voter Participation with Tatenda Musapatike, CEO/Founder of the Voter Formation Project Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

If we were looking for favorite word pairs, two of them would be ‘digital media’ and ‘voter participation.’ Combined, these concepts marry themselves into a powerful force and a magnetic conversation about the methods that can be and should be used to mobilize new voters. This week’s episode focuses on exactly that through a fun conversation with Tatenda Musapatike, CEO/Founder of the Voter Formation Project. If understanding the wild world of digital tactics is up your alley (it’s our bread and butter), this episode is going to be one you listen to time and time again. Oh, and also because our conversation was just such a freakin’ delight, we can’t even (*screams of excitement*)!

Gender Identity, Discrimination, and More with Dr. Jody Herman, Reid Rasmussen Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the Williams Institute Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

The data does it for us. And what we mean by that aside from the fact that we may throw that phrase on a sweatshirt at some point, is that looking at data and the studies that produce these elements of interest can provide tangible evidence for particular policy measures. In the case of studies undertaken by our guest Dr. Jody Herman, who is a Reid Rasmussen Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the Williams Institute, the findings are in the realm of gender identity and non-discrimination laws. In our conversation we talk about how these buckets intersect, what can be learned, and how these studies emerge. Additionally, we chat through our ‘stupid questions’ on gender identity, gender expression, and more.

Early Childhood Education Policy and Politics with Rebecca Feinglos Planchard, Senior Early Childhood Policy Advisor, NC Division of Child Development and Early Education Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

We love firsts, and this episode presents one for us - our first time on the show digging into early childhood education. Covering the waterfront in terms of policy and politics in this realm, we chat with expert in the field, Rebecca Feinglos Planchard, a Senior Early Childhood Policy Advisor, at the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education on what’s included in this policy bucket. We not only talk about the preparations and communications needed between federal and state government agencies to make policy happen in real time for students (and their families) now and in the future, but the possible outcomes or consequences of policy application. We also tap into the terminology and programs, with our conversation including chatter on the background of the concept of ‘school readiness’ and the Head Start program.

Monopolies, Big Tech, and Ohio Politics with Morgan Harper, Candidate for US Senate, Ohio Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

Ohioooooo, we’re here! Okay, not physically but via Zoom with a must-learn-about candidate for US Senate - Morgan Harper. Previously, the Director of Policy & Advocacy at the American Economic Liberties Project, a former tenure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and able to tout testifying before Congress, Morgan opened the gate on the conversation about monopolies in the 21st century. Talkin’ big tech and more, we get into the nitty gritty of ‘too big too fail,’ the dangers of mergers and acquisitions, and where the government has and can come into the equation. Naturally, we also chatted about Morgan’s campaign, what it means to ‘Morganize,’ and what Ohio’s constituents are looking for from political leadership.

Build Back Better (Explained) with Brian Derrick, Political Strategist & Founder of Oath Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

If you’ve been scratching your head about what on earth is going on with the Build Back Better bill, this episode is going to be your bread and butter of reference points. We go IN on the bill with Brian Derrick, Political Strategist & Founder of Oath to get a grasp on what’s included in the bill, what’s not, and what the process looks like for potentially passing it. Naturally, since we love abbreviations, we also get into the confusion around BBB versus the BIF, and even define what the CBO does. And, if that also has you scratching your head, do not worry, just head to wherever you get your pods and listen in and learn what all of those fun bits and pieces are.

Best yet, this episode contains tons and bunches of q’s from the audience. Shoutout to all that submitted those bad boys. As per usual, if you have a q or a topic you’d like to learn more about in politics, slide into our DMs.

Healthcare Finance in the US with Julie Oliver, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Ground Game Texas Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

Us when talking about healthcare in the US and singing our favorite Avril Lavigne throwback: “Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?”

But, seriously, healthcare in the US is no walk in the park. In fact, it’s more of a walk in a corn maze -- disorienting, confusing, and altogether spooky. To break down some of the basics, we had the honor of hosting Julie Oliver, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Ground Game Texas on this episode. Giving us the 411 on healthcare finance, citing a career in the industry and political know-how, Julie pulled back the red tape on medicare, medicaid, and everything else under the sun that has us scratching our heads.

Global Gender Equality, A Status Update Via Dania Gharaibeh, Team Lead, Gender Equality at the IRC Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

Gender equality is a complex and nuanced topic, and discussing it at a global level is no exception from this qualification. In this episode, we begin the conversation around it, peeling back some of the many layers involved in what the status quo is at large, why in 2021 we are only so far, and how geopolitics play an important role. Joined by the amazing mind that is Dania Gharaibeh, Team Lead, Gender Equality at the IRC, we also brought clarity on terms and concepts commonly a part of the equality equation, including defining what child and forced marriages are, the differences between the two, and so much more.

Worker’s Rights & Unions with Melanie D’Arrigo, Congressional Candidate (NY-3) Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

What are worker’s rights? What is collective bargaining? What in the literal world is the Taft-Hartley Act? Okay, and what about the Pro Act -- is there a cheat sheet somewhere? For this episode, we tapped Melanie D’Arrigo, Congressional Candidate (NY-3) to give us the answers to these q’s, which had us scratching our heads and trying to hit the good ol’ Google machine. Giving us the 411 on worker’s rights from a policy lens, past and future, Melanie walked us toward the answers and away from the head scratching to provide us a comprehensive understanding of where worker’s rights and unions stand currently in the realm of politics.

WTF is Gerrymandering with Arizona State Director at All On The Line, Kendra Alvarez Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

If you’ve ever had a conversation with Sammy about politics, you KNOW she’s mentioned the term ‘gerrymandering.’ Thus, it’s only appropriate that we dedicated an entire episode to the term and its many siblings. Cue, our conversation with Arizona State Director at All On The Line, Kendra Alvarez, who took us past just gerrymandering to the terms beyond including ‘grid map,’ ‘packing,’ and ‘cracking.’ Terms with silly names perhaps, but ones that are set to play a big role in redistricting underway across the nation. Tune in to learn more about what this means in your area and in states like Arizona.
