  • Happy Hour with Ben Sheehan
    On this pre-fourth of July happy hour, Anna and Michael discuss some political party strategy they think the Democrats should be doing in order to create a central party leader. Then she orchestrates a mid-show trade, dropping Michael for Anthony kick things into gear with a little civics lesson with none other than the millennial guru himself--Ben Sheehan. They discus various aspects of civic engagement, the importance of understanding the Constitution, and the dynamics of political parties. Ben shares insights on age limits in Congress and introduces his new PBS show, 'Civics Made Easy,' aimed at enhancing civic education and engagement among citizens.

  • Happy Hour with Rep. Maxwell Frost
    What's it like to be the youngest person in Congress? Michael and Anna sit down with 28-year-old Florida Democrat, Maxwell Frost, to find out. Rep. Frost is a master of messaging, but that's because (unlike some of his colleagues) he doesn't force it. So what does the future of the Democratic party look like? With people like Frost, who began his public service as a teenager fighting gun violence, the future looks bright and very, very cool.

  • Happy Hour with Rep. Haley Stevens
    Okay Playlisters, get ready for Michigan-palooza, or as we call it, everything you wanted to know about manufacturing thanks to Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan's 11th district! Michael and Anna sit down with the three term Rep now running for the Michigan Senate to discuss the latest in the tariff chaos, the auto industry, and how Michigan Manufacturing (did we just coin that?) could be the slogan of many a nationwide campaign. But first, Anna and Michael discuss the protests in their backyard and how each day this is turning into a manufactured crisis thanks to Trump. To be clear, we denounce the instances of violence and property damage, but we also want to cut through the BS and say there is not large scale civil unrest in Los Angeles and we defer to the Governor when he says the National Guard is NOT needed. Chapters[00:00] Introduction to Congresswoman Haley Stevens[03:11] The Impact of Manufacturing on Michigan[05:57] ICE Raids and Protests in Los Angeles[09:14]Political Ramifications of National Guard Deployment[12:01]Media Narratives and Public Perception[14:53] Manufacturing Challenges and Tariffs[18:13] Future of Manufacturing in America[24:40] Michigan's Economic Landscape and Its Lessons[32:09] The Importance of the CHIPS Act[39:38] The Role of a Workhorse in Congress[43:16] Manufacturing Caucus and Future Aspirations
