Fueled by Rage

55 minutes

It was a maddening week with Ethan gone and this 8th episode of the season is fueled by rage that brings us all far too close to profanity (in Alejandro's case, actually brings him there). The stories this week are:

Gideon giving a general overview of the situation in Texas in the preceding (the bitter winter storm, power outages, water failures, Ted Cruz fleeing all of it). You can find out how to help out (or receive help) in Texas with this article, "How to help and get help in Texas as the winter storm causes power outages" on the Texas Tribune's website.

John memorializing the recently deceased talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, through reminding us of such famous Limbaugh quotes as, "A game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons," which he said when discussing the NFL.

Kirsten talking about the epidemic of violence against indigenous women. Listen to Stolen: The Search for Jermain on Spotify, starting March 1st. Donate to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center here and the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women here.

Alejandro sharing how he's found joy in "Garden" by Meet Me @ the Altar and "Pieces of Me" by Ashlee Simpson and the similarities between them. Listen to Kirsten's recent episode of State Press Play, "Why is pop punk thriving on TikTok?" on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Haley breaking down the ASU baseball team roster, as baseball season is in fact back (if you missed the memo).

This episode was recorded on February 19th. The intro music is "Dedicated to the Press" by Betty Davis and the outro is "We Are Heading to the East" by springtide.
