We are happy to announce our first interview episode, featuring friend of show Spencer Hacker! Spencer is a social worker, an activist, and a political content creator. He is based out of Denver, Colorado, and he is making waves with his show Spencer on the Street, which you can find on Instagram and TikTok!

On this episode, we talk with Spencer about his political journey and about the case for left-wing populism in America. We touch on the history of the populist movement, the failures of the Democratic establishment, and recent successes of left-wing populists such as Zohran Mamdani.
