This week's episode:

Far more than an escape, comics can pack a political punch, as does the work of this week’s guests. First up, Mohammad Sabaaneh describes how he transposes his lived experience to the page, exposing the cruelties of Israeli occupation and celebrating popular resistance as the path forward. Then, Nate Powell uses his craft to break down a specifically American phenomenon – the creep of fascist aesthetics into our police and consumer choices.  Music in the Middle:  “The Burning City” by Q Burns Abstract Message from his album “Audio Totem Pole” courtesy of the artist.
