*The episode was made available early for patrons. Thank you for making this show possible. The backdrop for this week's episode is especially grim. Forests are burning throughout the global south from the Amazon to the Congo basin. Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola discuss our burning planet. But the episode is far from depressing. In the latter part of the episode, they discuss the media plan put out by Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, which gives them hope because the collapse of journalism should be a political issue during the 2020 primary. And in the first half of the show, the hosts talk about Dave Chappelle's Netflix special. They both laughed and enjoyed it and push back on much of the outrage while having a larger conversation about politics in comedy.
