Dave the Republican -- Convention Edition

Somewhere in the middle of the right side of center politics sits our good friend, Dave the Republican. While we all know he is no Trump fan, he's still holding onto the (unreasonable) belief that Donald Trump is an aberration and not the future of the Republican Party (boy is he in for a rude awakening!) It's a sometimes tumultuous hour, but we think it's really illuminating, we hope you do too!

As the reality of the ongoing pandemic curtails our activities we talk through some things you can still do to create the change you want from your couch.

Discussions of who should be the vice-presidential candidate for the democrats are balanced with growing animosity of the complete cowardice of the Republican Party. A good time was had by all...

Back on the Couch

Today's episode deals with the effects of the pandemic on the Presidential Race and politics in general. We wonder... "Will Joe Biden ever get out of his basement?" This week's essays are bout Deleting your Facebook Account and Caroline's free-floating ANXIETY!

It's All About the VP, Whoever She May Be!

After a sad sack start to the show because Steve couldn't go on a planned trip to The Grand Canyon there is a lengthy discussion about who are the potential VP picks for Joe Biden. We talk about the 10 top "candidates" for the job and learn a little about each! That's why we ran over an hour today (I really don't know what the excuse was for the last 58 times we did that!)

An Interview With Ron Steslow of The Lincoln Project

We met Ron when we went to The Lincoln Project's lecture at The Great Hall at Cooper Union. We wanted to have Ron on the show to remind ourselves that we Americans have more in common than what separates us. The show runs long but the conversation was informative, engaging, informative and most importantly inspiring!

The Return of Sister Susan

Our most inspiring guest, Sister Susan Wilcox, is back to offer us some inspiration about how we can remain activists and how to put the most positive view and vision for our time. It's time to create the world we want for when we get through this epidemic and a vision of solidarity is Sister Susan's essential message; after which Caroline and Steve read their latest Essays From the Couch wherein the call for separation and blame, I guess those two will never learn, but that's why we have Susan on the show -- to keep us thinking positively, just listen to her and ignore us!

Notes From the Couch Vol. II

Back to the Couch: Podcasting in the Age of Social Distancing.

With the onset of the CoronaVirus going out to the street just isn't an option. In Fact with New York City's Stay at Home Order, we had to go to virtual recording and had to use the internet to get the show recorded. And while what's going on with the political landscape is still important to us we had to deal with the effect and reaction to the virus. To keep thinking about things we have created a new section of the podcast called "Essays From The Couch" where were ask each other to write a short essay on a topic we select for each other... We are not going away and we want to thank everyone for staying with us!

Embrace Your Former Adversary But Wash Your Hands First!

Today's episode covers Coronavirus, Super Tuesday and The Resurrection of Joe Biden, and our field trip out to hear the members of The Lincoln Project speak at The Great Hall at Cooper Union. The experience reinforces the idea that while we may have differences with people we can still work together as Americans....

Off the Couch and Into the Bar
