Delco Young Democast episodes

  • Episode 13
    Mike and Pasquale talk about the Mariner East 2 risk assessment, learn about "coordinated campaigns" through Pasquale's new job with the PA Dems, discuss conservative groups paying their interns, and have a couple healthy glasses of wine. Plus, we welcome our younger Generation Z friends to the fold with "What Did Millennials Kill This Week?", and get really super like stereotypically Italian at a couple different points.

  • Episode 12 Primary Wrapup
    Mike, Amanda, and Brian discuss the 2018 General Primary in Delaware County and across Pennsylvania. They review the primary process, discuss voter turnout, share outrageous tales of working and volunteering, review the winning candidates, and sing a jaunty little tune. Then, the gang answers listener questions about the Santa Fe High School shooting in Texas, engaging young voters, not trusting anybody over 30, balancing leadership with the will of the people, and pie. Plus, one of the easiest rounds of "What Did Millennials Kill This Week?" ever, and a couple of BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS.

  • Episode 11 with Lindy Li
    Mike, Pasquale, and Amanda have a particularly loose conversation about Amanda's acceptance to the Women's Campaign School at Yale University, the completely normal and boring 7th Congressional District special election, whether millennial enthusiasm for the Democrats is stalling out, our campaign for Democratic State Committee, a very special edition of What Did Millennials Kill This Week, and Geoffrey the Giraffe's terrible, terrible secret. Then, Pasquale and Mike sit down with Lindy Li, candidate for the 5th Congressional District, for a chat about gun policy, campaign finance reform, youth in politics, and food once again.

  • March For Our Lives Special Coverage

    Mike visited the March For Our Lives at Rose Tree Park in Media, one of 800+ protests that took place on Saturday, March 24th, 2018, in memory of the students killed in Parkland, Florida, and in support of gun policy reform. This episode was recorded outdoors on a windy day, and the sound quality is not up to our usual standards, but we felt the content and the voices of the students who spoke were too important to throw away.
