1.20 Civil Rights are Human Rights

July 22, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

This week, we get some help clarifying our thoughts on race and civil rights from Hubert Humphrey, specifically from his speech to the 1948 Democratic National Convention.

Is there a problem with race in the US? Maybe you don’t see a problem, but does that mean it doesn’t exist? What do we have to lose by listening to each other?

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

The “Leader of the Free World,” the Commander in Chief, the “Most Important Man (so far) on Earth”: is that all there is to being President?

1.8 Congress Shmongress

April 15, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

“What do they do on Capitol Hill?” asks Kevon, and then, Phil takes the next 25 minutes to break it all down. Will you be as speechless as Kevon when it’s all over? Hard to say, but definitely, yes.

Today, we’ll look at what Congress was designed to do, what it actually does, and some of the problems with Congress.

We’ve got a lot of resources linked for you on the episode page, in case your podcast app doesn’t include them. Also, at the bottom, we have some sweet visual examples of gerrymandering congressional districts.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

The US Constitution – Specifically, Article 1
Congress – Wikipedia (Not the best source, but some decent background)

1.4 Primarily Caucuses

February 19, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Primary this and caucus that—what’s it all mean! Have no fear, Kevon and Phil are here to give you a basic understanding of what’s going on in the mad rush to the White House. They’ll discuss the different between a primary and a caucus, and we’ll pull back the political curtain and reveal a little bit of the disingenuous nature of modern politics.
