PREVIEW: The Star Wars Holiday Special feat. Tom Scocca
Alex and Walker talk with Tom Scocca, the editor-in-chief of POPULA and former editor at Slate, Gawker, and Deadspin, about the new Star Wars series Andor. This "Star Wars for adults" show was surprisingly good, offering complex characters, an eerie look at the banality of evil behind the fascistic Empire, an exploration of class and exploitation, and a lot more.

Rep. Ro Khanna on the Midterms, Ukraine, COVID, and Twitter
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) joins the Gilded Boys to discuss the recent midterm elections, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia, COVID-19, and Elon Musk's destruction of Twitter. What are the key takeaways from the midterms? Has the Biden administration heeded Khanna's call to use diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine? Have Democrats done enough to protect us from COVID?

Ep. 29: Dems Are Letting Democracy Die feat. David Daley
Is Democracy over in the U.S.? It sure might be.
Alex and Walker talk with David Daley, the author of the national best-seller on partisan gerrymandering "Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count" and "Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy," about how colossally f*cked we'll be when the GOP gerrymanders congressional and state legislative districts in the coming months.
Congressional Democrats could stop this, but some senators and the president seem content to cede power to the anti-democratic GOP for the next decade or more.

Ep. 28: Homegrown Hate with Sara Kamali
In this episode, the Gilded Boys speak with author, scholar, and holistic justice activist Dr. Sara Kamali about her new book, Homegrown Hate: Why White Nationalists and Militant Islamists Are Waging War against the United States.
"Holistic justice moves beyond anti-racism to anti-oppression in order to address militant white nationalism and end the disproportionate vilification of Muslim Americans and other marginalized groups," says Dr. Kamali.
