A lighthearted but serious look at "Beer Snobbery." Join sociologists and "beer geeks" Mike Chavez, Yanira Fuentes, and I as we talk about craft beer, Hipsters, gentrification, navigating White spaces, and are we now the benevolent gentrifiers? Happy New Year everyone! 

My guests, Dr. Chuck O'Connell and Dr. Raul Perez join me to discuss, socialism, communism, democratic socialism and their differences.  We also ask the question was Jesus a communist? Join us and happy holidays. 

Dr. Mike Chavez joins me to talk about what does the progressive left do now that we elected Biden, union organizing, education, nazis, and republicans class consciousness.  Yeah I was surprised by that last one myself.

I celebrate this historic moment with Professor Samantha Jones, Dr. Glenda Flores, and Dr. Lata Murti. We talk about what this meant to women of color, multiracial identity, the squad, white women at the cookout, and how the future is feminine.

This week, Professor Robert Wonser drops by to talk about what is "cancel culture" and how it gets used by the political right and the left.  We throw in a conversation about lessons from the vigilante Batman and what zombie stories tell us about pandemics.  We finish by discussing the importance of media literacy.  

Returning guest, Tiffany Lanoix and I discuss what is intersectionality and how useful it is to understanding oppression, privilege, and social movements. Since this episode was recorded when Trump caught COVID we do discuss "the lefts" crocodile tears around his illness.
