Hi Bri, It would be be nice to get an episode about housing, zoning and urbanism in general. I know that other leftists have criticisms of yimbys but I don't really understand them. Thanks

Black women's voices and perspectives are missing. You have some great male guests on the show, but it's far too lopsided.

Afternoon, I would recommend Bri has anti- union guests on and tear them up. Take her well machined lawyer skills and take those folks to the shed.

I heard this fascinating podcast interview with Saule Omarova who has proposed for years that the federal government offer bank accounts directly to consumers. It's sort of the "USPS should offer checking accounts" idea but understood from a completely different angle, from the monetary policy side. Once I understood those it became apparent to me what a fundamentally structural change this would be to our monetary system (likely for the better), and that it would encounter huge political obstacles that she doesn't explore because that's not her thing. I know economics isn't your strong suite but It would be awesome if you could assemble a series and/or a panel on this topic, bringing her in with the public banking people and others who can help suss out the political angles and ramifications of such a change. People would not get screwed over nearly as much, but it could make the connection between the political environment and the economy much tighter and I would want to think through what consequences may result. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-23/former-biden-nominee-saule-omarova-on-the-case-for-public-bank-accounts

Col MacGregor, Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern, Aaron Mate, Glenn Greenwald and others to talk about US Foreign policy activities, who's sole purpose is to ensure the US dollar is the sole superpower thru detestable acts of fear, escalations, deceit, weapons, spying, economic coercion, broken promises and more in order to manage this slowly growing giant economic & collaborative movement, such as BRICS.

Just thought of the artist Trevor Paglen who documents and and creates around themes of the surveillance state amongst other adjacent areas. I'd love to hear you talk with him! https://paglen.studio/

How about showing Chicago a little love. You covered the Mayoral races in NYC & LA - even Buffalo. Chicago is inaugurating a very progressive Mayor in Brandon Johnson, who was backed by the Chicago Teacher’s Union (led by the remarkable Stacy Davis Gates) and the 6 Democratic-Socialist Aldermen (including Carlos Ramirez Rosa, who you’ve had on the show before).
