In this special 4th of July episode, we bring back two of our most popular guests, conservative Yossof Sharifi and liberal Kim Bowman, to help us make sense of whatever the hell is going on with Trump's twitter feed. We also debate the philosophical underpinnings of health policy (more fun than it sounds) and the dangers of the LDS Church dipping its toe into the seedy underworld of pigmented clothing. Plus, find out how we ended up having to publicly apologize to Lt. Governor Spencer Cox! (It's Dan's fault.)

We're rebranding the POPcast this week, as we prepare to separate it from the Blacksite name.  Before we move, we celebrate the most American movie on the most American of holidays. But is Independence Day actually good, or were we just young and stupid in 1996?   The panel also dares to try Fireworks Oreos. They taste less like sulfur than we expected.   We chat about our favorite patriotic movies: Air Force One, The Right Stuff, Lincoln, and This Divided State.  

Today, we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE DAY (the Final POPcast)!

Special Guest ALAN SEAWRIGHT of Zion Politics on the show to add a little LDS doctrine to our political discussion. We break down the Senate Healthcare Bill. Our sponsor this week is Strawberry C! What is it? Who knows, but you'll definitely want it. Alan talks about his experience with medicaid, Jason Chaffetz, and the Republican Convention. We talk about candidates for Utah's 3rd Congressional District: John Curtis, mayor of Provo with high approval rating. Tanner Ainge, possible carpetbagger!? And Curtis Herod... the delegate choice and man with a questionable blogging history.     

Alan Seawright and the no good, very bad health care bill

By day, Danny Drew is seeking the Democratic nomination to run against Senator Orrin Hatch. But we're pretty sure he's really the secret identity of some superhero in the Refugee Justice League.   Kim Bowman returns to the show, this time as a panelist. He takes us through news from the state party conventions over the weekend. We consider the upcoming Republican primary between extreme right winger Chris Herrod and Provo Mayor John Curtis (is he a secret Democrat -- should Democrats become secret Republicans to support him? It's all so confusing!) Also, call your Senators! There's no way your phone call could be more embarrassing than Dan and Courtney's attempt at improv comedy.

Convention Coverage and How to Become a Secret Republican, with guest Danny Drew

Kim Bowman's love of Star Trek could not be contained to our political format, so he joined us on the POPcast to discuss prospects for the new series. We also consider the bizarre and horrifying nature of the Cars universe. Plus, Dave and Busters is coming to Salt Lake City. Are we wrong to be excited for this?  If you love Clarke, don't listen to this episode.
