Man, we only covered like half the awful things that have happened this week and we’re still exhausted. Jewish Dave gives us a dispatch from the wildly disappointing Nevada Democratic Primary where everyone ignored a field of qualified, compelling progressives and instead voted for crates of remaindered Al Franken books. The bright spot: we talked to Ryan Lindsey, a progressive …
Dad-gum, this is a jam-packed episode. Hope you’ve got some spare time and Otter Pops if it’s hot. On June 19, if you live in District 5 in Miami-Dade County, you can do something more important than listen to a snarky, subversive regional politics podcast to express your disdain with the status quo–you can vote for Eileen Higgins, a candidate …
It’s been a minute, yeah, sure, but we’ve been busy so back off. Here’s your new episode. We talk about why the 1,500 missing migrant kids-situation is not what it seems (spoiler alert: it’s way worse) and then we follow up on Do I Have To — Jewish Dave doesn’t like Chance the Rapper because he hates joy and things …
Can’t you see? She killed them. She killed them all, Dave. This week we catch up with friend of the pod Michael Weiss as he chili cook-offs (cooks-off?) his way to victory in his Nevada congressional bid. Meanwhile, we have new Do I Have To assignments for each other, and we talk about other things as well including bad traffic …
The pee tape is real the pee tape is real the pee tape is real the pee Q and Jewish Dave talk about Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri (2017) and Relatos Salvaje (2012) during Do I Have To. I never have enough energy to write great descriptions by the time I’m done editing. Just listen to this week’s episode if …
Goddam son, if this isn’t our best episode ever. I’m finally happy with the arc of our production value. You’re actually gonna like this one. Our guest is Carlos Miller, founder of Photography Is Not A Crime, a news site that began advocating for journalists’ rights to record the police 11 years ago and has grown to a holistic First …
This podcast is stupid and I don’t want to do it anymore. Nothing works. No one cares. Goodbye.
Betsy DeVos got somethin’ going on… It’s a mostly South Florida-centric episode as we talk with Miami New Times reporter Jerry Iannelli (@JerryIannelli) about the inevitability of Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla.) and the charred husks of scattered Dems she’s going to leave in her gilded wake. Also, never forget that all the water is poison, which means all the food …
We got a new show, made special for all those Jewish Dave fans out there. Check out the new All Points West show, from half of the team that brings you Bird Road, on an exploration of movies that promises to bring film into focus (get it?). On the 1st episode of Piecing It Together co-host Chad Clinton Freeman and …
We talked about the Black Panther movie a lot, which was fun, and about the shooting in Parkland, which was not. Can you be such a flaming joke-on-wheels that you actually transcend the ability to be made fun of? The President thinks so. All this music was all made by all the David Rosens of the world.
