    Episode 14: Back To The Future

    And we're back with part 3 of our travel back in time to learn how the Joe Ganim/Mario Testa corruption regime came to be. So buckle up, we're going back to the future and you're about to hear some serious sh*t! On our way back we make a pit stop at Superior Court to find out what's going on with the 2023/24 election fraud cases. We also had to make a quick detour into the lie that is Christopher Columbus, and discuss why a literal hand full of Italian men of a certain age and who mostly don't live in Bridgeport, are still trying to force that god forsaken statue back into Seaside Park.

    Episode 13: Back and Forth

    Welcome to Part 2 of our trip back in time. In this episode, we go even further back to the 1970s to bring forth the answers to some of life's most pressing questions: Where was Mario Testa? When did he pop on the scene? How did he become Chairman of the Bridgeport DTC? And why has he kept the local Democratic Party in a chokehold for over 40 years? Tune in as we go back, back, forth and forth.

    Episode 12: Nice... and Rough!

    Happy 1-year anniversary to us! To celebrate, we thought we'd give it to you nice and easy. But we never do nothin' nice and easy... we do it nice and rough! In Episode 12, we get into the smooth operator scam that Joe Ganim and others ran out of Bridgeport City Hall in the 1990s. How does schmoozing developers like Donald Trump turn into stealing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars? Tune in to find out what happens when certain people stopped following the law... and it started to get real.

    Episode 11: Show Me The Money!

    In the previous episode we followed the money of Mayor Joe Ganim's 2023 campaign. Now, in episode 11, we're talking about money, AGAIN. It's time to show you the money of our local Democratic Party, like, how has a woman from Shelton been paying herself with party funds? How much DOUGH has Chairman Mario Testa paid himself? And, why does he think DTC meetings should involve what we ate for breakfast? On top of all of that we've got the deets on who's been caught in a group chat texting about a cover up?

    Episode 8: Double Trouble

    As we kick off 2026 we're seeing double. Double Trouble that is. Trump and Ganim go way back and so does their style of "governing." Lucky for us it's a new year and we're charging forward with no fear! In this months episode we break down how to SEE what's right in front of us, how to DESCRIBE what is happening to our country and our city, and concrete ways to BUILD a winning resistance movement.

    Episode 7: Ball Of Confusion

    Listen, there’s beef in these Bridgeport political streets and it’s enough to make your head spin. Why? Because the people fighting each other are all on the same team and have worked together to rig the system for the establishment for years. In Episode 7, we do our very best to break it down for y'all. Starting with an update on the election fraud cases, we examine how the people involved are all connected AND what all these beefs have to do with the race for City Council President.
