Evangelical Christian Nationalism (and Andy's Story)

In this episode we discuss the rise of white evangelical christian nationalism in national politics through the election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the US House. This discussion provides a good opportunity for Andy to tell his story of growing up in an evangelical house, deconstructing his religious and political views, and then finding himself in politics.
If you listen long enough, you'll also here a surprise discussion on horror films and Steven King.

The eTRANSvaganza Episode w/ Rep. Leigh Finke

On this special eTRANSvaganza episode we welcome Minnesota's first sitting trans-legislator, Representative Leight Finke, to talk about the beauty of the Trans-community and the substantial obstacles they face. We view this episode as a resource for those who have very little experience with the experience of trans-people. We talk about things such as the importance of gender affirming care, transpeople in sports, bathroom usage, and more!
Most importantly, we hope this episode helps in any way to create a society where everyone, regardless of their identity, can live with dignity and safety.
