Ep. 106: It Happened Again ft. Steve Sladkowski May 26, 2022

Show notes

We’ll be honest, we had originally planned a somewhat lighthearted episode with Steve Sladkowski, guitarist in Canadian punk outfit PUP, and then the Robb Elementary School shooting happened. So while we do open with a bit of NBA playoffs talk, we ended up having a raw discussion about gun violence and how it’s a uniquely American problem. This was difficult and emotional and we share the frustration so many of you feel regarding inaction at the national level.Please do be sure to give Steve a follow here: https://twitter.com/sladkowAnd follow PUP here: https://twitter.com/puptheband

Ep. 104: Bans Off ft. The Law Boy May 13, 2022

Show notes

We are joined this week by Peter from the Supreme Court podcast 5-4 who provides context for how we got to this point where the high court is poised to overturn Roe. We examine the opportunities Democrats had to codify Roe, the rhetoric around “just vote” to shift the burden onto voters & away from people in power and review the discourse over how people should protest SCOTUS, if at all.
