OA374: The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Today's episode covers a number of stories that might be bad news for now, but each one, we think there's a reason to be optimistic beneath the surface.  We also make sure we're holding Idaho's feet to the fire for the anti-trans bills that state tried to sneak past the radar this week, and we tell you the fate of states that have tried to restrict access to abortion using COVID-19 as pretext.

We begin with a survey of the landscape including the states that haven't issued stay-at-...

You know the drill:  post the link to the exact time stamp of the audio clip you'd like to see on the show.  Remember:

1)  We can't take a clip if you don't link us to the ACTUAL AUDIO at the EXACT MOMENT you want us to use.  That means "Hey, remember that scene from My Cousin Vinny where Joe Pesci is super hilarious?" isn't helpful. :)

#T3BE 171 - Early Answer for Patrons

You may have forgotten that Thomas was on a three-question winning streak before last week's hiatus.  Well, Thomas got yet another one right, picking (C), which means he is now 96-for-171 (56.1%), over 56% for the first time in 2020, and on a four-question win streak!

OA372: The CARES Act, COVID-19, and Your $1,200 Check

Today's episode breaks down the three main provisions of the just-passed CARES Act in terms of (1) additional unemployment benefits, (2) tax relief in the form of advance $1,200 "rebate" checks to taxpayers, and (3) the $500 billion "slush fund" for corporate giveaways.  While there's more in this 880-page monstrosity, we break down the key parts for you!

We begin, however, with some good news about the impending retirement of Ohio Rep., Trump-supporting lunatic, and soon-to-be-Whi...

OA371: Your COVID-19 Questions, Continued!

*we wanted you guys to have this early so badly that this episode was edited by Thomas! So if anything is different, that's why.

Today's episode is the second half of our  double-length episode in which we tackle your questions about the coronavirus and the law.  If you haven't listened to View Post

Update - Part 2

Hey, the second episode is still being edited, and I just want you all to know it’s my fault - I’m very sick and the recording is like 50% my coughing so it’s requiring extra work. Sorry and I promise we’ll get it to you as soon as possible!

OA370: Can Trump Cancel the Election? and Other COVID-19 Questions!

Today's episode begins with a discussion of the recent dismissal of charges by the Department of Justice against Concord Management & Consulting, LLC (and Concord Catering) with prejudice.  Is this another example of Attorney General Bill Barr's meddling?  We explain that it... probably... isn't.  Probably.

After that, it's time for the first part of a double-length episode in which we tackle 2020-03-20 03:48:01 +0000 UTC View Post

OA369: Humanist Invocations & LED ZEPPELIN

Today's episode features two deep dives:  first, we have an interview with David Williamson of the Central Florida Freethought Community to discuss their successful (!) five-year lawsuit to permit humanist, atheist & non-clergy invocations before the Brevard County council meetings.  Find out how this case developed and learn some strategies for successful grass-roots activism even in the age of Trump!
