David and Michael sample some Dovetail Rauchbier with Chicago social studies teacher Derick Loafman and talk about his role in the first charter school strike in American history.

David and Michael have a very “confronting” conversation with writer Linda Tirado, who talks about what it's really like to be poor, shreds meritocracy, talks about how Chicago is more racist than Ferguson, and explains why you're both right and wrong about who Trump voters are.

David and Michael open up some Revolution Eugene Porter with Illinois State Rep. and progressive leader Will Guzzardi to talk about what Democrats will do with their supermajorities in the state legislature, how Will survived opposing J.B. Pritzker in the primary and most importantly, when we can expect to see legal weed in Illinois.
