Episodes

Francesca Hong for Governor 10.08.2026

Every argument against Francesca Hong in Wisconsin is irrelevant, a half-truth, or an outright lie. ("Electability" the biggest lie of all.) Not one argument has been made against her populist proposals. Not one. Because they are wildly popular with voters and they threaten the agenda of corporate politicians and their donors.   www.charlesbursell.com

Practical Utopia (TL651) 08.08.2026

Practicing political "aspirationalism." Also, Americans who mistakenly self-identify as conservative or moderate favor most so-called "left" policies. Finally, the Democrats have failed to thwart 10 years of Maga run amok. Unless you want another 10 (or 20), support the insurgents!   www.charlesbursell.com

We The People (ep.20) 08.08.2026

We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.20) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our  website .

The Penultimate Primary (TL650) 06.08.2026

Progressive s w i n the Michigan primary. It's time for "moderate" Dems to practice what they preach: V ote blue no matter who ! State crimes by the Dept of Injustice, ICE, The White House, all with Repugnant complicity. The list of impeachable offenses grows daily.   www.charlesbursell.com

Meeting the Moment (TL649) 03.08.2026

World problems grow more dire every day and there's no way out within the parameters of our current system. Major news media must cover MAGA fascism like the disaster it is, a virus that has infected 80 million Americans and endangers the entire nation.   www.charlesbursell.com

We The People (ep.19) 31.07.2026

We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.19) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our website .

The Anti-Progress Crowd is Scared of Your Power (TL648) 30.07.2026

All this hysterical anti-socialist propaganda and lies about "electability" are desperate attempts by the privileged elite to withhold power from the new political center and thwart America's natural penchant for progress.   www.charlesbursell.com

Votes Don't Lie (TL647) 06.07.2026

Corporate media, Repugs, and Centrists are lying about Democratic Socialists with rhetoric worthy of Goebbels and McCarthy. The upstarts are winning because their proposals are NOT  ex treme, they are main stream.   www.charlesbursell.com

Have Your Hot Dog With a Blindfold (TL646) 02.07.2026

To be proud of the United States On this 250 th requires a huge denial of reality. SCOTUS knows the assignment: to advance the 50-year project of Authoritarian White Christian Nationalism. www.charlesbursell.com

Labels and Lies (TL645) 29.06.2026

After primary wins by Democratic Socialists, establishment pols and pundits are trying to scare you with baseless red-baiting and mudslinging lies. Don't let them. Also, I agree with the Orange Menace, the housing bill is "of minor importance."   www.charlesbursell.com

Big Data, Big Ag, Big Profit (TL644) 25.06.2026

The regime is committing digital espionage at home and digital colonialism abroad. We are rapidly–and permanently–losing our groundwater to Big Ag. The only solution: local sustainable farming outside the apparatus  of profit .   www.charlesbursell.com

Hope, Clarity, and Democracy (TL643) 22.06.2026

The United States is not a democracy, but it's not for the reason your crazy uncle thinks. The Obama Center opening and the NY Knicks celebration were excellent displays of America at its best.   www.charlesbursell.com

The Biggest Loser (TL642) 18.06.2026

When Democrats win Congress they must govern big for the people AND hold the regime accountable for its crimes.  Let's be honest about what's happening. He lost his stupid war, he's history's biggest loser, but he's still dangerous. (Photo by Julia Demaree Nikhinson, AP)   www.charlesbursell.com

Breaking News (TL641) 15.06.2026

The Graham Platner drama confirms the need for government reform, the folly of 'breaking news' out of Iran, and we check in on the stories that define our time.   www.charlesbursell.com

AI is People! (TL640) 11.06.2026

Let artificial intelligence do the grunt work and allow us to be human again. How? Abolish profit and establish indigenous governance.   www.charlesbursell.com

Operation Epic Failure (TL639) 08.06.2026

He's nuts, he's a failure, and when he finally falls off the cliff the billionaires and their  apparatchiks will rush over and pretend to push. Then they'll continue their half-century takeover. We must starve them out.  www.charlesbursell.com

We The People (ep.18) 06.06.2026

We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.18) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our website .

Yell At Your Boss (TL638) 04.06.2026

Scott Pelley sets the bar, multiple courts smack down the Orange Menace, new top spy is looking for dirt on you and me, a broken U.S. elections system in desperate need of reform, a nd we rifle through the Friday trash.  www.charlesbursell.com

Talk Plain, Govern Big (TL637) 01.06.2026

Politicians, no one wants to hear your dime store pseudo-psychology on the meaning of life. Do your job protecting our social and economic rights and we'll do the rest. Also: Save your brain, f&#k AI and put pen to paper!     www.charlesbursell.com

We The People (ep.17) 30.05.2026

We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.17) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our website .

Pontiff-icating (TL636) 28.05.2026

Pope Leo XIV writes forcefully on the ethics of AI but even the pontiff himself doesn't dare to put God before private enterprise. Dozens of innocents are dying in American gulags, many by their own hand. Will lame duck Repugnants help to sabotage the Regime?   www.charlesbursell.com

Man In Box (TL635) 24.05.2026

Political theory from an indigenous perspective. Colbert, SNL and the Democrats can't save us. Shame on the warmongers who callously exploit those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.   www.charlesbursell.com

We The People (ep.16) 23.05.2026

We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.16) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our website . 

The New Standing Army (TL634) 21.05.2026

The Orange Regime's stolen tax-payer "fund" will pay handsome salaries to their new class of professional henchmen. Also, some needed perspective on the outrageous assault on Cuba and how the midterms are shaping up to be a battle of real versus fake populists.   www.charlesbursell.com

A Sickening Display (TL633) 18.05.2026

The China summit confirms the whole global order is repulsively unnatural. RFK Jr's dysfunctional HHS has public health prominently featured in recent headlines. Spoiler alert: we're doing it wrong.     www.charlesbursell.com
