The Great Purple State
Conall and Emerson talk history and politics in Wisconsin and around the world. From presidential elections to nuclear disarmament treaties, from the history of Wisconsin to the history of the rise and fall of fascism in Europe, we cover a wide breadth of topics in a conversational way.

"Damn Derrick, Back At It Again": The Gay Bunny Book Cometh (Part 2)
•
Conall & Emerson
In this episode, Emerson and Conall dive into the culture wars the right has been waging against LGBTQ content, and how Derrick Van Orden's harassment of a teenage library page in Prairie du Chien proves his unfitness for office. We also discuss the extensive issues facing a district like WI-03, including agricultural monopolies, soil depletion, underfunding for rural hospitals, lack of access to healthcare and population loss - and why the Wisconsin GOP's policies have made these problems worse.
We hope you enjoy the masterful intro by Emerson. And yes, we soon learned after we made this that Brad Pfaff's name is pronounced "Paff" - not "Faff".
