Volume 1 of Those People explores "Political People," In particular Democratic Candidates for Congress.
In our debut episode, Briana Wu, a candidate for MA-08's house seat, challenging incumbent Stephen Lynch, joins the show to discuss growing up in Mississippi, Tech, Gaming, the Iraq War, the Bush Era, and of course how Gamergate affected her life and her politics. We also talk queerness, Batman, what the media was like before Trump and a bunch of other stuff I'm not going to give away here all in an attempt to answer the questions: Who is Brianna Wu, and what makes her a Democratic Candidate for Congress?
In addition to being a #Political person, Brianna Wu self-identifies as one of Those #ProgressiveDemocrat, #bi-sexual #woman #Feminist #tech-industry People.
