Description

Despite a string of recent electoral wins, Episode 71 opens with Democrats still fractured and leaderless, as some candidates embrace extremist platforms that risk alienating mainstream voters. With economic anxiety fueling turnout, the party faces a pivotal choice: rein in its ideological drift or double down on radical promises widely viewed as unrealistic and divisive. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Dr. Shelley Ann Burke, Clinical Assistant Professor at UC Irvine and registered nurse, whose nonfiction book The Unsung Heroes: Nurses spotlights the overlooked contributions of diverse nurses throughout history and advocates for greater equity in healthcare.
