Episode Three: Electoral College, Eminent Domain, and Donald Trump

The third episode covers all those "Should We Keep It?" questions about the Electoral College, Eminent Domain, and even the suggestions for Trump's Cabinet, which is about as abysmal as you'd expect. Look, we didn't say we were non-partisan, it's in the name.

Episode Two: Immigration

This second episode covers stats on immigration under Obama, Trump, and Biden, as well as the implications of the rhetoric used against any ethnicity/racial/cultural background that differs from Trump's vision of a "great America."
We told you episodes would usually be shorter!

Episode One: The Election - Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump

First episode is an intro to your hosts, K.B. King and Kelly Wise, and our assessment of the election, the candidates, and the major issues. This will be the longest episode, by far, but given the gravitas of the subject matter, it makes sense.
Join us every Tuesday! Next week's episode is about Immigration.
