Meeting the moment?
We start with discussion of the new fighting spirit of Congressional Democrats, and the central role the health care cost crisis is playing in the impasse. Are Democrats finally learning how to resist an increasingly authoritarian president? We review the latest MU Law Poll and whether we agree with what veteran political journalist Craig Gilbert calls the Trump paradox, where despite low popularity, Trump 2.0 has been one of the most powerful presidencies in recent American history. We welcome Heather DuBois Bourenane and Chris Hambach-Boyle from Wisconsin Public Education Network (WPEN) to discuss how the growing private, voucher school program is...

Budget Calamity?
We record the morning after the state budget deal was signed by Governor Evers in the wee hours of the night. We do a full budget postmortem with State Representative Francesca Hong and Heather DuBois Bourenane, Executive Director of Wisconsin Public Education Network (WPEN). How bad was the state budget for education, health care, child care, and other top priorities? Did Democrats leave power on the table that could have been used to win a better budget? What is the path forward for grassroots progressives to reverse Wisconsin's disinvestment in vital public services?

Public Schools Unite Us: Special guest WI Public Education Network’s Heather DuBois Bourenane
We welcome Wisconsin Public Education Network’s Heather DuBois Bourenan to discuss public education in Wisconsin following a state budget that saw the largest expansion of private voucher schools as part of a “deal” that blindsided supporters of public education. Former President Trump revealed this eek he is a target of the special counsel’s Jan. 6 investigation, as multiple Wisconsin election officials are interviewed by federal investigators. Meanwhile, MAGA Republican lawmakers introduce another sham bill to add watermarks to absentee ballots that drives right-wing conspiracies about stolen elections. We speculate whether the Michigan AG’s prosecution of fake electors in their stat...

A Crypto Optimist and a Crypto Skeptic Walk Into a Podcast Studio
I’ve been wanting to explore the world crypto and blockchain technologies could build on the show for a while. In certain ways, I’m an optimist: I think these technologies matter, and many of them will work. In other ways, I’m a skeptic: I’m unconvinced that their wide adoption will lead to the glittering, decentralized digital world that many crypto proponents imagine.So this is a crypto conversation that goes way beyond Bitcoin. It’s about what will happen when we build the foundation for truly digital economies, with digital money, digital goods, and digital ow...
