Episode 76 - Wrasslin' with RBG & the Hellworld Makes Us Sad

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Brent, Andi and Ty sort through the mostly awful takes on RBG from all directions, can't resist a little more reveling in the fall of ol' J.F. Jr , can't believe the election is so close, and generally alternate between bouts of madness induced by staring into the abyss and some chuckles about the particulars of our strange, surreal society.

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

It’s the regular crew talkin with Jaron Brandon, a candidate for Tuolumne’s District 5 County Supervisor (jaronfor5.com), about the utility of partisan approaches to local issues and how this particular stretch of rural California faces unique combinations of post-industrial challenges and reflects many of the issues felt by rural America. After the interview, we try to make some sense of balancing normative electoral politics, and strategically leveraging power for the people wherever you can find it.

Ty goes it alone this time for a conversation with Penny, Bonnie, and Jay from Tenacious Unicorn Ranch. We discuss what drove them each to make such bold leaps of faith, how you move 100 alpacas, rural tensions and the power of open-armed community (in all senses of that phrase).

Episode 70 - Being Based In Reality

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

For this round it’s Andi, Brent and Ty. We couldn’t resist dipping our toes into some clips of the Axios interview with Trump. We do some speculating about elections and how likely we are to miss the illusion of democracy when it’s gone. Brent cracks Q’s code and reveals some Trump campaign documents

Episode 69 - Rose City Resistance: Portland Fights the Feds (ft. @lovejoypegatron)

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

We’re joined by “Lovejoy Pegatron” to hear about what it’s been like on the ground in Portland.

Political Fun Time Happy Hour Deluxe

Ty and Brent are joined by Abner (!) the proprietor of LeftCoastRightWatch.org. We’ve been looking forward to having him back on for nigh on a year now and we’ve gotta have him in the mix far more often. He provides amazing on the ground reporting, and if he’s not a key part of your Twitter feed now, you’re doin’ yourself a disservice.
