Kontradictions with Nato Green & James Zogby (Ep 241)
Biden's out and Kamala is in. Francesca and comedian Nato Green dig into the Vice President's record in California, whether she'll prove to be better on Gaza, and if she is or is not, brat. Then James Zogby, political analyst and founder of the Arab American Institute joins to talk about how Harris should play a meeting with Bibi (if she must meet with him at all) and how Biden being surrounded by yes men meant he was the last to grasp what everyone saw. To see Francesca's full rant about Kamala check out here.

"I SHOULD BE DEAD" with Matt Lieb (Ep 240)
The assassination attempt on Trump is nearly out of the news cycle, as the shooter's identity (registered Republican) and weapon of choice (AR-15) doesn't quite fit the right's preferred narrative. Meanwhile Biden calls for a cooling of rhetoric, pulls his campaign ads, and all but admits defeat. Comedian and husband Matt Lieb joins Francesca to talk about the real systemic sources of political violence in the United States, and bemoan the Democrats' defeatism as evidenced by Biden's stubborn commitment to lose in November. Then one-time Never Trumper JD Vance is now Trump's running mate, and along with him comes millions of tech bro billionaire dollars to help out a campaign in need. JD is perhaps the perfect lying craven opportunist to whitewash a second Trump administration's most anti-Democratic plans.

Pay Inequity, Predators & Laughs: Being a Woman In Stand Up Comedy *FRANTASTIC FRIDAYS*
What's it like working in a boy's club, i.e. being a woman working in stand up. Comedian Amy Miller joins Francesca to discuss how the sausage fest is made, fighting to be paid equally and sometimes working around predators. Is there a rightward reactionary shift in comedy, and is
there a new backlash to the backlash? TEA WILL BE SPILLED!

The New Corporate Ripoff with John Iadarola & David Dayen (Ep 239)
Biden digs himself into a bigger hole with every media appearance as Democrats circle the wagons to protect him... yes even Bernie and AOC. John Iadarola, host of The Damage Report, joins to discuss why Blue MAGA is deluding themselves about Biden being able to beat Trump. Then, corporations have seized on their record pandemic profits to further gouge the American people, using new algorithms and schemes to rip us off. David Dayen of The American Prospect Magazine joins to explain how they're getting away with it and what's being done to stop it. Finally a very NSFW edition of "Fash or Smash", which right winger ... would you?

No He Can't with Prem Thakker & Caitlin Durante (Ep 238)
Democrats are scrambling after Biden's terrifyingly bad debate performance. And SCOTUS delivers for Donald, offering him and other presidents absolute immunity for crimes committed while acting "in official" capacity. Comedian Caitlin Durante of The Bechdel Cast and journalist with The Intercept Prem Thakker join Francesca to discuss. Plus, after months of promising investigations into Israeli war crimes, the Biden Administration has done little except running cover for them. Prem explains what it's like to try and hold the State Department accountable for just one of the many atrocities: the murder of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and her family. Finally, a necessary game of "What's Good" where we all decide to watch Paddington.

Francesca is my absolute FAVORITE person to get news from. I appreciate getting honest, informed, no-filter reporting with some good giggles. You definitely need to add this to your podcast lineup!
Great show, funny , informative and caring.
I love this show. I listen live whenever I can and refuse to delete episodes that are downloaded to my device even when I run out of memory. Francesca is the media leader we need right now and I can’t wait for more episodes.
