Episode 15: Kitchen Sink: One Year of the Pod, Mailbag, and Two Evil Dougs

Listen on Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music

It’s our one-year anniversary of ranting into microphones, and in this episode, we reflect on the pod and share what we’re dreaming of for year two. While we’re never aiming for performative anger, we’re also thinking about how letting the high emotions of this unique time in history play out has been cathartic and important. 

Next we dig into messages from listeners and some stellar episode suggestions you’ll be seeing in a podcast feed near you very soon — plus one amazing merch idea. We round out this episode with a Corrections Corner from the religions episode (it’s easy to get evil Dougs mixed up), and a good news update from Montana’s continued effort to combat the negative effects of Citizens United.
