After examining America’s need to have a “best” in everything from football to movies to dating (“The Bachelor”), AL sees strange parallels between the upset for Best Picture and the Democratic nomination. And then spends real time trying to separate the spoilers from the contenders in a last-ditch hope of keeping Trump from getting reelected by having such a large field going into Super Tuesday.

After a look at the State of the Union (which was like “a fascist Wheel of Fortune”), AL discusses who benefits the most from the Iowa Clusterfuck.

Alabama Liberal explores the divisions within this year’s Democratic field, and how that has led to a frontrunner that is all but invisible to the media.

After taking a few minutes to link Trump’s impeachment demands with white entitlement gone mad, Alabama Liberal delivers the most personal podcast episode yet. By delving deep into a private school nightmare his son and family experienced and how little he could do about it–he proves just how hard it is to make a Civil Rights case even in supposedly-woke 2019 Los Angeles.

How does a black kindergarten kid on a Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship get booted from attending first grade and one of the most celebrity-driven, prestigious private schools in LA get away with charities fraud? Listen and find out how government agencies, education lawyers, and even civil rights groups may not actually do anything when you’re really in a bind…

In our first episode in nearly two years, we talk everyone’s least favorite topic: Donald J. Trump, and his (specifically) his list of shady dealings with hostile foreign governments. Questions abound like: Is Melania his Russian handler? Did Trump really win the electoral college? What would convince his fans he’s an active Russian agent or unwitting puppet? Are Mitch McConnell’s America-destroying ways on behalf of China or just his own ignorance? Since Trump is an aspiring tyrant, is that in itself a treason of America’s ideals? Plus, if everything is being boiled down to “good for Trump” and “bad for Trump” is that the first step to becoming a dictatorship?

Plus, we talk the debates and do a rundown of the 2020 candidates.

In a special reunion episode of “A Year Long Conversation,” we dive deep into Doug Jones upset of Roy Moore, what this means for Alabama (and the South), Trump’s first year in office, Russian meddling, predictions for 2018 and 2020, and the paradox of Trump’s Russia-sponsored nationalism, at a time when fascism is having a moment what are the dangers of America retreating from the world stage?

The Finale Episode…

In the penultimate episode and true climax of our series, we take listeners on our most jaw-dropping accomplishment yet: a top-to-bottom rebuilding of the Democratic Party complete with a 50-state tour of America. The first twenty minutes are “12 Steps to Recovery” and then the state tour of America with ideas on how the Democratic Party can retake each of those states. We honestly hope you’ve enjoyed our efforts over the last year, and just ask yourself “What other podcast has ever went in-depth on every state in only an hour?” Along the way we ask difficult questions like: Does Trump listen to Obama’s phone calls? Could Trump kill John McCain on live television and not be investigated by congressional Republicans? What’s the secret sauce of Montana and Hawaii? Should Michigan and Wisconsin now be considered red states? Could Hollywood single-handedly turn Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Louisiana into blue states? Is Indiana a real place? What’s the most hopeless red state in America for Democrats and the one most ripe for flipping?

Note: If you enjoyed our amazing 50-state tour, why not help us get this podcast syndicated? Episode 50 will surely be the last one unless we can “break out.”

For our last episode during Obama’s presidency (sniff, sniff, I’m not crying–it’s just raining…on my face), we look into globalism. What’s America’s place in the world now and how do we stack up militarily, economically, environmentally, technologically, and education-wise? The results may not be all good but at least we have Meryl Streep. Suck it, France. By trying to explore both sides of the globalism debate we ask difficult questions: Why does Brody like the TPP but not NAFTA? What is the white working class that lost manufacturing jobs going to do next? Did you ever think you would see a Republican President have to deny being pissed-on by Russian hookers? And where do honest fears of being left behind in a global economy end and xenophobia begin?

The biggest of the “big,” it practically makes Trump look travel-sized. We take on no less than every big issue we can think of and answer questions from our listeners. How can interracial couples solve racism? How is automation a bigger economic threat than immigration? [Plus how to fix it.] Which Democrat is going to save us going forward? How do we sell climate crisis, universal healthcare, and a Democratic President to the working class? And we even reveal how Democrats should’ve campaigned against Trump and the best strategy for a party in desperate need of rebuilding. All in all, not a bad way to spend an hour of your life in this strange New Year…
