It's Joever!  But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'.  There just isn't.  So we're probably fucked, as usual.

In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris... 

All that junk.

P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast.  Please don't sue.  And if you do, sue Daniel.

We recorded an episode about the 1996 film Independence Day, because we're looking at movies about the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy human genocide/American exceptionalist pornography than this entry into the Devlin/Emmerich oeuvre?

Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway.

We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).

Images from new episode:

Daniel is joined by friend-of-the-pod and regular guest/collaborator Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (Polite Conversations, Woking Up,  @nicemangos (2) Eiynah (@nicemangos.bsky.social) — Bluesky ) to talk about Israel's genocide in Gaza, and in particular about some questions that have come up around IDSG's public response to it.  Jack was sadly unable to attend the recording but was fully there in spirit.

Another free public bonus in which Jack steps sideways a little from the usual IDSG focus. 

In this episode, Jack hosts a conversation with comrades Twilight O'Hara & Rowan Fortune of Anti-capitalist Resistance about their blistering and important essay A Trans* Guide to Cis Solidarity: Beyond Oppression.

This conversation was recorded in January before the show's return from hiatus.
