Rampant Discourse

Donald Trump and Joe Biden just had their televised shouting match which was being billed as a debate. What were our takeaways? Did Biden win by being the least abrasive? Were any minds changed? What do we think about the current situation with the vacant Supreme Court seat and potential court packing of a Biden administration? Did Trump miss an opportunity to attack teacher's unions? Is Facebook to blame for the divisiveness of our political discourse? Be sure to stick around to listen to Andrew's bleak prediction for the outcome of the election and how 2020 might end.

In preparation, the Rampant Discourse crew decided they would do a watch party of the original movie: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

We're back from a brief hiatus with a new podcast episode! We've often tossed around the idea of a book club where we all read a book and then discuss it. We finally took the leap and this is the first episode of what we hope might end up being a recurring series. For our first book, we decided on The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin in the hopes that it might feel more relevant and timely considering what is going on in the country right now. Tune in to hear what we thought.

There's been a lot of talk recently about what social media companies like Twitter and Facebook can, and should do in terms of censoring speech on their platforms, specifically as it relates to President Trump.
