The California Housing Crisis with Senator Scott Wiener (CA, SD-11) Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

We’ve got California’s housing crisis on the mind and more than a few questions as to how it emerged. To shed light on these q’s, we tapped none other than Senator Scott Wiener (CA, SD-11) to tell us the tales of the past, present, and future of the housing crisis and the related homelessness crisis that has made a name for itself in the state. We start with the basics and then get into the bills, providing key context to what on earth a crisis is in this frame and how the political world can work to fix it.

Explainer: Asylum & Del Rio with Mirlande Joachim, Esq. Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

If we had a penny for every time we heard the phrase “Haitian border crisis” over the last few weeks, we’d be richer than Jeff Bezos (don’t tell him, thanks). That phrase begs many questions - is it really a crisis? Who on earth was and is responsible for what we are seeing unfold at our southern border? Is there a reason these people aren’t being granted asylum? And, what is this ambiguous Title 42 everyone keeps throwing around? We ask these questions and more in our conversation and latest episode to badass immigration lawyer, Mirlande Joachim, Esq. Shedding light on the many issues happening here and happening fast, the conversation is a starter guide for understanding what went down in Del Rio.

P.S. stay with us for top stories -- we talk about Putin’s baby mama, so the tea is excellent.

SexEd Today in the USA with Danielle Bezalel, Host of Sex Ed with DB Podcast Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

The concept of sex education might bring you back to an array of incredibly awkward classes taught begrudgingly by your gym teacher. It might also conjure absolutely nothing if you’re from a state where parents can opt their children out of sex education at school. Sex education, its depth and most importantly, its accuracy varies state to state. Far from a one size fits all sitch, sex education has and continues to take on a variety pack of forms in this country and the data shows some wild trends to go along with, all of which we go into in depth with our guest, Danielle Bezalel, Host of Sex Ed with DB Podcast.

Untold Truth of Afghanistan with Veteran & Congressional Candidate for NY-11, Brittany Ramos DeBarros Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

The last few weeks have been headline city as it relates to the US’s longest war -- the war in Afghanistan. A departure from the past 20 years, where the war received little to no press coverage, the past few weeks had many of us constantly at a loss for words and left with many questions as to how on earth we got to this place. Cue, this week’s episode where we were honored to be joined by Veteran and Congressional Candidate for NY-11, Brittany Ramos DeBarros. Brittany, in our conversation, walked us through the many realities of this war, from how we ended up there in the first place to what being on the ground actually was like, the corporate interests involved, and so much more. If you’ve had questions on Afghanistan, this is the episode for you.

Show notes

Grab your cowboy boots and get ready to head to Texas in this episode where we get into the complexities of the Lone Star state’s politics with congressional candidate for TX-35, Claudia Zapata. Tackling a few of the many controversies that have taken to the headlines as of late, our conversation touches on voting rights legislation, the strategy of the politicians who made moves to DC to prevent a vote, and the surprisingly (and pitiful) pay that state legislators are paid. We also get into Claudia’s campaign for Congress and the very reasons she’s running.

City Council & Cedar Rapids: The Local Politics Landscape with Councilmember Ashley Vanorny (Cedar Rapids, Iowa, D-5) Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

When you think ‘Iowa’, you may think of presidential campaigns and the buzz that surrounds the infamous caucuses. However, politics happens in the state 365, 24/7, especially in Cedar Rapids. In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Cedar Rapids Councilmember Ashley Vanorny (D-5) about the politics of her district, the politics of city council, and what inspired her to run for local office. A look inside city council, what it does, and why local politics are extremely important, this episode will inspire you to get civically engaged (and maybe run for office).

A Deep Dive into the Anti-Choice Politics of Louisiana with State Representative Mandie Landry (LA, D-91) Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we take a virtual road trip down to Louisiana to chat with State Representative Mandie Landry (LA, D-91) on what it’s like to be pro-choice in a heavily red (and anti-choice) state. Walking us through her experiences, her conversations with colleagues, and painting the picture as to the political landscape of the state, we learned there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to the overall topic of women’s health in the state. From maternal morbidity rates to access to sex education, and the many barriers and political pawn work done in the state (and by its geographic neighbors), the takeaways were incredibly eyeopening.

The New Deal for Education, Philly Politics, and more with Congressional Candidate Alexandra Hunt (PA-03) Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

This week we virtually traveled to Philly to get the skinny on a district that will be the talk of the town, or dare we say the talk of the City of Brotherly Love, as we head into the 2022 midterms. In our explorations sans cheesesteak, we chatted with candidate and congressional hopeful, Alexandra Hunt about her campaign, the ins-and-outs of Philly’s political landscape, and the change she hopes to bring to the table. Touching on issues in her district and beyond, we covered territory from unions to education, giving specific focus to The New Deal for Education.
