After last week’s brief brush with positivity, we’re wading back into the turbulent waters of American politics and current events. Rachael V and I discuss a new direction for the show and the term we coined “Libracon”, a liberal conservative. We are going to tackle the truth, based on the facts about current events, politics and culture from a LGBTQ perspective.

Taking a page from Madeline Brewer’s book, I will not stand idly by while the shit storm that is engulfing Washington threatens to drown the country. It is imperative that we use the time we have encourage others to search for truth in current events, belief systems, and be informed. 

War Crimes and Misdemeanors

What does friendliness have to do with electability? Would I personally hang out with former President Bush? And what the heck is a war criminal, anyway? 

Rachel and I parse comments by Ellen DeGeneres and Joy Behar, extrapolating everything from politicians’ over-reliance on emotional appeal, to how to treat people with different political beliefs, to the difference between a fact and an opinion, from the comediennes’ quips.

Other Topics covered:

Immigration, Unions, the 9/11 Response, Clinton Administration

Show Updates:

Show Updates: submitted show to I Heart Radio, hope to expand audience. At this point all of the technical challenges we faced in the first few episodes have been sorted out. Running your own podcasting is an interesting experiment compared to radio, a medium which DJ is much more experienced in. 

In future episodes the show’s focus will be centered on four main elements: culture, politics, news, current events. Not just covering those topics but striving to find the truth in current events and politics above all. The goal of the show, no matter the topic, will be to seek truth through all of the noise and with that, maybe we can all learn and grow along the way. 

New shows will always be added to our website and distributed to all major podcast/streaming platforms.
