Of Afghanistan And Paperwork
We are back finally about 2-3 weeks too late with reference to the whole Afghanistan shit but this is actually about bureaucracy and power and more nebulous navel gazing stuff so it's ok timeless issues that only we can tackle with powerful brains and full hearts.

Part 1 of a 2 Part Rumble On Race (and) Class Politics
Special guest Kyle Jackson is kind enough to join the show and challenge us on our general approach to forever ongoing Class vs. Race analysis of politics on the left.
We use the 1619 Project as an example to get off the ground, and branch out into some of the broader more central disagreements that we have.

Nice Podcast
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to hear new perspectives about politics from two random dudes. The opinions do not always toe the party line so you'll find yourself saying "hell yeah right on" about as much as you'll say "how could you possibly think that". I'd particularly recommend the bill maher episode.
give it a listen and keep up the good work, guys.
What a Hoot
Jesse and Corey make great interviewers and invite fantastic well-spoken guests from a range of political view points. The exploration of history, current affairs, and (ocasionally) philosophy all heavily coated in dark humor make this an enjoyable weekly listen.
But you don't have to take MY word for it...
watch sheeple watch
Good conversation, provocative thinking, crude humor and cheap shots at the world's most powerful people. Five stars
