TMHS Episode 12 - James Fritz
Q: Do you do vid podcasts ever?
I'm more of an audio medium guy.
TMHS Episode 9 - Aida Ashouri
Q: What made you want to run for office?
A few different reasons, including my previous experiences working in the city attorney's office where I saw misuses of power and a lack of advocacy for vulnerable populations.
TMHS Episode 10 - Jake Flores
Q: Would you ever go on Pod Save America?

TMHS Episode 5 - Oliver Ma
Q: What compelled you to run for office after being a civil rights lawyer?
Oliver Ma expresses that the injustices he witnessed during immigration raids showed him that the legal system isn't enough to protect vulnerable communities, which propelled him to seek political office.
TMHS Episode 4 - Myq Kaplan
Q: Your comedy special is called Rini. But that's also what your girlfriend is called.
Rini is both what my comedy special and girlfriend are called. It's not like I had this special in the works and then I met this woman, but rather it was fate.
