Show notes

We take a look back at another one of the highlights from 2020 - our chat with Noel Casler. We discuss his experience working on the Apprentice for six seasons and what he saw up-close from the current "President" and his kids: the crudeness, the drugs, the racism... and the incontinence.

Hate Mail with Kimberley Johnson "That’s what we’re here for, to piss people off" Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

It's dueling hate letters with our friend Kimberley Johnson. We exchange some of the vilest comments we've received from the dark recesses of the internet. Is there something about a strong progressive woman who isn't afraid to speak up for what she believes in that just brings out the wackos? The answer, apparently, is yes.

Journalist Greg Palast has been investigating voter suppression for years and now he's got his sights set on Georgia in the weeks before the runoff. He details the hard work already being done out there by people like Stacey Abrams and why Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger isn't exactly the hero the media's made him out to be by standing up to Trump.
