The previous audio recording got messed up. It's fixed and the new one is up now and good to go!
Recorded April 15, 2020. Real Sankara Hours has its first guests! Adam and Peter talk to Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, National Director of Move to Amend, and Nick Brana, a former Bernie staffer who now works with Movement for a People's Party, about exiting the Democratic Party and the need for a third major political party.
