Republic of TAZ-mania: Imperfect Politics

FIRST EPISODE WITH OUR NEW CO-HOST Mr. MO!

Taz and Mr. MO focus on the changing faces of the democratic and the republican party with the focus mainly being the RNC. This episode was more of a generalized discussion that does get heated but is an opinion learning experience.

In this episode, Taz and Mr. MO discuss the DNC Kamala Harris and the changing face of the Democratic Party. Things end up getting very heated!

There are also some big changes being made to the podcast! We've added a new co-host to not cause constant debate, but rather facilitate the hard questions. We will also have more content coming out and different styles of content as well. Enjoy!

(UPDATED AUDIO) 

In this episode Taz and Kurt talk about the upcoming 2020 election, Biden's VP and how things are looking for Trump 2020!

How can we stop fake news from ruining this country? 

Taz takes a deep dive into the ongoing problem of dis- and mis-information in America. Even with campaigns from the left and right, from all kinds of agents including our own President, there are logical and practical solutions to this dangerous problem.

Today, Taz has a conversation with his friend across the aisle, who happens to have a storied and impressive career, Barbara Haley! Together they prove that it's possible to have a constructive, respectful (if loud) conversation with someone with whom you disagree.
