The Good with the Bad: ‘BradCast’ 10/21/2021
We covered a whole bunch of stories on today’s BradCast. You’ll have to tune in to find out what I have to say about most of them. Suffice to say there was a lot of both good news and bad. Often at the same time. [Audio link to full show is posted at end of […]

‘A One-Way Ratchet’: Biden’s SCOTUS Commission Does GOP’s Bidding: ‘BradCast’ 10/20/2021
On today’s BradCast: President Biden has, thankfully, edged toward the left on a number of things during his candidacy and Presidency to date. Reforming the GOP’s stolen and packed U.S. Supreme Court, however, at least for now, does not appear to be one of those things. At least if the findings of his blue ribbon […]

We’ve been cautiously hopeful for months on The BradCast about President Biden’s landmark plan to replace fossil fuel power generation at the nation’s utility companies with clean renewable electricity in his Build Back Better (BBB) Act.

Sunday ‘Democracy’s Boundaries’ Toons
Why Dems Should Partisan Gerrymander the Hell Out of ‘Blue’ States (and Why They Shouldn’t): ‘BradCast’ 10/15/2021
On today’s BradCast, I share an idea that I’ve thought long and hard about, struggled with and, frankly, never thought I’d have, much less recommend, as this idea is essentially counter to everything I have long fought for as a democracy advocate. But, as they say, desperate times…and all that. [Audio link to full show […]
Why the Last Remaining 2020 Election Challenge in Georgia Should Not Have Been Dismissed: ‘BradCast’ 10/14/2021
From legal and election wonkery to supply chain wonkery, there is no wonkery that is too wonky for today’s BradCast! But I suspect (or, at least, hope) you’ll find it a pretty good show nonetheless.

On today’s BradCast: We’re nearly two years into this seemingly endless pandemic. If you happen to teach at a college or university in a “blue” state and have been vaccinated, you can probably go to work each day feeling relatively safe. If you work at a “red” state university, however, the story is very different. […]

‘We Have to Change the Whole Process’: CA Rep on Ending Big Oil After Latest Offshore Spill: ‘BradCast’ 10/11/2021
The good news is that one of the Southern California beaches hit hardest by last week’s toxic oil spill reopened today. The bad news comprises the rest of today’s BradCast.
