Alex and Walker talk with Tom Scocca, the editor-in-chief of POPULA and former editor at Slate, Gawker, and Deadspin, about the new Star Wars series Andor. This "Star Wars for adults" show was surprisingly good, offering complex characters, an eerie look at the banality of evil behind the fascistic Empire, an exploration of class and exploitation, and a lot more.

What are the key takeaways from the midterms? Has the Biden administration heeded Khanna's call to use diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine? Have Democrats done enough to protect us from COVID?

Is Democracy over in the U.S.? It sure might be.
Alex and Walker talk with David Daley, the author of the national best-seller on partisan gerrymandering "Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count" and "Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy," about how colossally f*cked we'll be when the GOP gerrymanders congressional and state legislative districts in the coming months.
Congressional Democrats could stop this, but some senators and the president seem content to cede power to the anti-democratic GOP for the next decade or more.
