Ryan seems to hang quite a bit on the fact that he was a Green a quarter century ago. Maybe it would actually be worthwhile for BP to interview some of the 150+ Greens who hold local elected office across the United States today. Or have a discussion with Green Party members in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania who have stood in solidarity on picket lines with striking workers. Or Green Party members who are making the case to friends and neighbors in communities across the country about why it actually makes sense to vote for the only candidate who has centered Palestinian humanity and opposition to genocide who is on more than enough state ballots to reach 270. It's very frustrating to constantly watch Green Party members talked about in this abstract, dismissive tone without actually giving us an opportunity to speak for ourselves. If it was good enough for RFKJ voters, it's good enough for us, too.

We've heard questions about Spotify access that we would like to make clear.
Spotify's legal team is giving us issues and slowing down the migration.
In the meantime we've created a temporary Spotify video playlist that we are linking in all the show emails and posts.

Regarding the frequent comments I see about the show being biased left or that Saagar inadequately challenges Krystal's takes. Here's my 0.02. This show has never promised to cover the news in a way that presents "both" right and left wing perspectives as equally legitimate. Sometimes one "side" is completely illegitimate. A large fraction of the conservative population still thinks 2020 was stolen, but Saagar is not obliged to present this argument in a legitimizing light if he thinks it is bogus. Likewise, Krystal is not required to tow the Dem line on more military aid to Ukraine.
When I bought my membership, what I perceived in this show was that its hosts strive to be objective (diff than politically bipartisan, neutral, or "balanced" ). I think they both are committed to this, but since they know people's biases affect what they think is true, they have someone else with different political priors to point out whether they agree or disagree.
I have heard all hosts concede points...
