This week, Brie fulfills a longtime ambition: Chatting with former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about Star Trek. The two Trekkies discuss utopias, the future of capitalism, Noam Chomsky's viral vaccine mandate take, and what's left for the left. But that's not all. This week is a two-parter, and in the second interview, Brie chats with friend of the show, New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani, who is now nine days into a hunger strike. Why? Zohran is striking in solidarity with with New York taxi drivers fighting for relief from medallion debt. Listen to learn more and to find out how to support this worthwhile cause.
