BTL #305 - Show Up Anyway - 1/21/19

This week on the podcast, the first rule of marching is you show up to the march even when the march is annoying you. Plus, Buzzfeed publishes second widely disputed bombshell that we’ll find out is completely credible in two years and Trump offers a “deal” to end shutdown that is just a worse version of a deal he’s already reneged on once. Then, a look at all 400 people who announced their presidential candidacies last week and plenty more!

BTL #225 - Rant Day - 12/17/16

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we've got a few things to get off our chests.  Yes, we know all about Russia's hacking and yes we're horrified.  Yes we know all about the electoral college vote and yes we're terrified.  But no we wont accept that the Democrats lost this race solely because of James Comey and Voldermort Putin, and we'll tell you why politically it's not even worth making the claim.  Plus we're all over covering our history of fake news and future of fake morals!  Listen while you load of up on latke potatoes or Christmas ham (or a nondenominational food of your choice)!  Then give us the gift of a rating on iTunes.

BTL #221 - Multiple Choice Exams - 11/15/16

This week on BTL, it's everything we didn't cover in our mid-week special election edition!  We've got the latest on President-Elect Trump's (ick it hurt to say that!) first week as a legitimate person, and he's already appointed a white nationalist to his cabinet so things are going predictably.  We do have a little good news too, though!  Come for the horrifying Trump update, stay for the local election results!  Keep on keepin' on, guys!  There's nothing else we can do.

This week on BTL, it's our last chance to reach you before we all VOTE!  VOTING!  VOTING IS SO FUN!  YOU SHOULD DO IT!  We're here with all the latest polling, updates on the senate, info on the props, suggestions about where and how to get involved in #GOTV efforts, and so so so so much excitement about voting!  So much!  Plus, did you hear that recent FBI emails nonsense is already over?  What a relief!  Another relief: Trump's Twitter privileges were revoked.  Who knew it was that easy?  Tune in for it all and whatever you do, figure out where you're going to park BEFORE you get to the polling place.  It's so much easier.
