    2025-02-05 - DEI Distractions
    Feb 5 2025
    Jonny and Craig discuss DEI. They start with a focus on the local, plugging artistic work in Carbondale with the upcoming Kleinau Theatre production of "Epiphanies," an adaptation of Flash Fiction by local writer, Epiphany Ferrell. They then turn to recent attacks by the Trump Administration on DEI and what that might mean for the university where they teach (SIU). They then discuss the Grammies and what this past weekend's music awards might teach us about the value of DEI. In the back half of the show, they examine the Trump Administration's high level placement of gay and lesbian conservatives in positions of significance. They discuss how this participates in a concerted effort to pare the Q and T off of LGBTQ, and why they are not having it.

    2025-01-29 - Making (Bad!) Excuses
    Jan 29 2025
    Jonny and Heather check in with each other after a rough first week of Trump Administration 2.0. They then explore how right wing pundits and trolls make really convoluted excuses to support their president, pairing the controversy over Elon Musk's "Roman" gesture and outrage over Bishop Budde's blessing at the Washington Cathedral. In the back half of the show, they discuss the conflict of policy mandates with agency restructuring and dismantling, resulting in inefficiency and higher governmental costs. All of this posed against a backdrop where already the Trump administration claims inflation is not a focus of their agenda and its going to "take a while" for food and other cont-of-living prices to come down.

In the back half of the show, the discuss Tik Tok and the hypocrisy of Trump claiming to be its savior.
