    Really enjoy this podcast and have learned so, so much from it. I’m floored by Bri’s open-mindedness and the clarity of her analysis. A real intellectual role model for me.

    Girl you wiped the floor with her (which I know was not the good faith effort you put in to reach across the aisle to her), and it’s so crazy how inarticulate and unprepared Natalie is to have any sort of substantive conversation. One of my favorite episodes in a long time, because it echoes so many of the frustrating conversations I have in my day to day life trying to articulate the control corporate donors have over the entire Democratic Party as a mechanism.

    Following on conversation about AOC support for sending Israel arms, here’s relevant context from the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/02/aoc-blocks-israel-military-aid

    AOC is a smart woman who is becoming an increasingly astute politician.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 593 - There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men (w/ Magdalene J. Taylor)
Q: What is the central focus of your article and how does it relate to hetero pessimism?
The piece argues that there is a pervasive hetero pessimism in culture, describing it as a mindset that the heterosexual dating landscape is deteriorating; the goal is to show that this pessimism may be overstated and that structural factors and individual attitudes shape experiences in complex ways.
Episode 597 - What is the DSA For? (w/ Megan Romer)
Q: What does democratic centralism mean in practice for the DSA?
It means making a democratic decision at the chapter level and then everyone shows up to support the chosen campaign, even if individuals disagreed with the decision during the vote.
Promo: Episode 590 - Is Tucker Willing to do What the DSA Won't? (w/ Glenn Greenwald)
Q: Do you think this third party is real? Is Tucker Carlson and some of these others, are they going to work together to really do a break from the Republicans?
The guest argues it's uncertain whether a viable third-party can emerge, weighing historical precedents and the likelihood of consolidation around a few influential figures, while noting skepticism about a purely left third-party option given current political realities.
Episode 579 - On The Potential of Art & The Limits of Tucker Carlson (w/ Saul Williams)
Q: So I wanna ask you how you prefer to be introduced.
Williams discusses the importance of authentic, multi-hyphenate artistic identity and how his work across theater, poetry, and music informs his political voice.
Episode 573 - In Defense of Litmus Tests (w/ Natalie Wynn aka ContraPoints)
Q: How do donor influence and media framing affect policy outcomes today?
There is a recognition that donors and media shape which policies get pushed, but also a belief that sustained public pressure and alternative political organizing could shift the conversation over time.
