    The Episode on #StopAsianHate

    Randall Park, Ken Jeong, Ronnie Chang, Josh Burstein. From the archives, but always relevant, Josh sits down with Sherry Cola to discuss their place (mostly hers) in Hollywood. Although there has been a wave of Asian hate crimes that need to be addressed, there is no doubt about the Asian influence - from style & culture, to having more representation - on screen. Hear why the star of Freeform’s Good Trouble is headed to the top. The Liberal Conspiracy on YouTube: https://bit.ly/39WAENm The Liberal Conspiracy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LibConspiracy

    The Episode About How Marvel Heroes ACTUALLY Protect Us

    How would the real U.S. war machine defend against superhuman threats?!  When the real Avengers finally assemble, we have found our Nick Fury. Meet Sgt. Todd Bowers, a surprisingly funny, 12-year Marine veteran with multiple tours in Iraq and a non-gamma Purple Heart. Sgt. Bowers debriefs us on several scenarios, like who will have jurisdiction over a city being ripped out of the ground by a maniacal robot. Who are the real-life super-soldiers? How super serums make Fallujah a happier place. And why Thor Odinson enjoys hanging in Sweden's delightful embassy.

    The Episode on How to Protest

    Josh sits down with Isaac Bryan, Executive Director of UCLA's Black Policy Project. Isaac offers perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement, the January 6th assault on our Nation's Capitol, why the pandemic affects underserved communities the hardest, and how politicians and policymakers need to go where the people are (we see, no, hear you Clubhouse). Josh tries out a new game with Isaac that is so painful, no one should play it. Sometimes it's hard to joke about serious stuff, but we hope you learn and get a few laughs from this episode.
