In this episode, we're joined by Nicholas Carnes, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, to talk about why all politicians are so filthy rich, and where we should look to find our future presidents.If the 2016 Election results bummed you out, there are ways to take action. Call you local representatives and demand that they stand up for what best serves you and your community. Donate to hardworking organizations that advocate for the issues and policies you want to see upheld or changed. And if you're in it for the long-haul, per Nick's encouragement, run for public office....game changer, right?
In this post-election episode of doom, we try to figure out what Trump will, and actually CAN do, as president. May the glacial pace of bureaucracy save us all!

In this episode, we're joined by Jake Hurwitz & Amir Blumenfeld to talk about how we talk about this election, and all the ways Donald Trump has made us dumber.
In this episode, we quickly recap that dumpster fire of a debate before digging in and explaining what the hell is going on with international trade deals, American interventionism, immigration, global warming, and all that other fun shit that actually matters.
