This week we tackle what we've been saying we try to do all the time, what is good faith? And what is arguing in bad faith? We take a look at that, along with an exploration of Black Film by Evan and a look at some absolutely bad court arguments in a Tucker Carlson court case from Joe.

Also reminder like we said at the top of the show we will be moving to an every-other-week release schedule. We aren't planning on this being for forever but at least the next few months, we hope it isn't too much of an inconvenience for you all.

This week we have a first for Adequately Informed, a guest! This week we welcome on Casey Sabella who was a campaign staffer for Elizabeth Warren's 2020 Democratic Primary campaign. She goes into detail about her work in politics so far, what the campaign looks like, and some thoughts on the presidential election going forward. We enjoyed this interview and hope you will as well. Along with the interview Evan discusses Mitchell Trubisky and Joe explores Global Budgets.

Not a whole lot of fun to be had in this episode. We first look at the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and explore the continuing race issues in this county. Then a look at sugar and the devastation it’s caused the health of millions across the world. And then finally it’s back to coronavirus, 90k dead with no plan and no end in sight. Hopefully it’s not too gloomy but these issues ain’t the most upbeat.

We celebrate TWO WEEKS of largely non-corona talk (but we did do a small end segment on it). We're at our strengths and definitely had some more difficult conversations this time around. Like is Bob Dylan's new song actually deep? Is Adele being skinny noteworthy? And what are we to do about men? All these are explored at some depth in this weeks episode.

This week we attempt to look at some subjects that aren't just coronavirus related current events. A return to form if you will.

This week Evan discusses what is happening with the South by Southwest film festival. Joe has another go at inflation and Modern Monetary Theory. Then finally we tackle Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and the harms that the filibuster has on American governance.

It’s the whole episode! Not really but Evan got married despite all that is happening in the world and details what had to happen to get there. Then Joe explores the future of carbon-free and dispels some commonly held ideas on it’s future. And then we wrap it up once again on Current Events! (puts stool firmly in the middle of the room). Next week we should be having a more traditional main segment so watch out!

We’re doubtful and hopeful all at the same time. “Times are strange” we say for the twentieth time this episode, but we trudge on. We take a look at the PPP, the Overton Window, and what seems to be our constant main topic which is Current Events!
