Craig Bierko has been acting for decades. Some of his most notable films include Cinderella Man & Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. TV: Sex and the City, Murphy Brown;  Law & Order; Mad About You. Stage: The Music Man; Guys and Dolls and Company.

I had Craig back on so soon because I had more questions for him (and he makes me laugh...a lot). We talked about why he chose to become an actor, and why journalism was not for him, and he shared stories about growing up around actors. (And much more.) This fun show is exactly why I love podcasting...I got to have an entertaining conversation with a funny, kind, creative person I admire!

David Corn of Mother Jones joined me to discuss the "nothingburger" Durham Report and how the right is using it to deflect attention from the Russian attack on democracy in 2016; a new website, The Messenger, that supposedly exists to be fair and non-partisan but gave Trump the softest of softball interviews (sound familiar?); and David talked about his latest book, American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy, that chronicles the decades-long relationship with far-right extremism and the GOP.

Adeline Koh is the Founder and CEO, and she started Sabbatical Beauty while on academic sabbatical because she was frustrated with the beauty products on the market. Many generic products loudly proclaim their "active" ingredients on their packaging, but these actives only make up a tiny percentage of ingredients. Inspired by the DIY beauty scene, she decided to start making her own skincare.

We talked about what inspired Adeline to create a political skincare line and how her years in academia influenced her decision to start anew. Adeline talked about how beauty is rooted in social and political inequities and why self-care is so important to have the strength to defend and fight for a thriving democracy. There is so much good stuff in this interview and keep in mind, men use skincare!
