This week on the Beacon podcast, Ben, Taryn and Mike discuss Dr. Christine Ford’s allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her, and Sen. Susan Collins’ continued and maddening preference for a rushed process over of a full understanding of Kavanaugh’s conduct.

Taryn explains how we can approach this moment with love, and that it’s the only way to win.

Also, a single number from a new study on Question 1 basically explains Maine’s entire home care crisis.

Plus: Ben again attempts to describe graphs on the radio, Mike reads a conservative Boston Globe columnist and learns a new phrase and Taryn has a new favorite South Portland City Council candidate, Deqa Dhalac.
