In Episode 38, Quinn & Brian ask: Is it harder to build clean power plants or play in a reputable cover band?

 Our guest is Sean Casten, a scientist, clean energy entrepreneur, and cover band member who is running for Congress in Illinois' 6th district. Let's let out a big "whoop whoop!" for Brian's home district!

 Sean is running against Peter "Skeletor" Roskam, who called climate change "junk science," which is really all we need to hear to know that Sean is the right man for Illinois'' 6th district. Plus, Sean is backed by our friends at 314 Action, an incredible group of people who are smarter than us trying to get other people who are smarter than us elected. You can check out our previous episodes with 314 Action founder Shaughnessy Naughton (episode 35) and fellow Congressional candidates Chrissy Houlahan (episode 37) and Joseph Kopser (episode 32) – and we'll have even more STEM-ific candidates coming before the Midterm elections on Nov. 6th.
