Hi. On today's episode, Katy and Cody discuss the civil verdict against Donald Trump, his abysmal town hall on CNN, and how much evidence you need to declare someone a Nazi. Also, Jonathan's back!

Hi. In today's episode, we look at how credit scoring bureaus were originally created to track debt (among other things) in America, how they've evolved into a bad-faith tactic for the rich to exert control over poor people, and how we need to revamp the entire system so we're not using an arbitrary number to evaluate a person's worth. A human being's worth not being tied to money? Imagine that! S...

Hi. In today's episode, we look at what being rich does to your perception of yourself and others, the eccentricities of the super wealthy, how they use their money to hold influence over our political systems and the dystopian future they envision for all of us.

Hi. Unfortunately, in today's episode, Katy and Cody have to discuss another tragic school shooting.

Hi. In today's episode, we look at how former Wisconsin state Governor Scott Walker and the GOP have hijacked the state's democracy through gerrymandering, and how the upcoming election for a Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice could have national ramifications.

Hi. On today's episode, we look at how the U.S. became so car-centric, why more walkable cities are probably the way to go, and what we can do to loosen the car industry's mechanical grip on our urban planning. Plus, the cars in Pixar's "Cars" have to eat and go to the bathroom. How does that work? SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cmOrze75T5B0cuGzXnweZYF9wbv9RFGr9MRza21PZpw/edit?usp=sh...

Hi. There's been a lot of talk about Hollywood going woke and thus going broke. But is this really true? Is Hollywood, perhaps, pretty un-woke?
