Sally Kohn
Episode 46, Jan 15, 2021, 02:45 AM
Clay is joined by TED Talk speaker and independent media personality Sally Kohn to take a look at where the progressive movement is as we get closer to the start of a Biden Presidency, and if there’s any hope for our country to move forward into the 20’s together.
In the days after the Capitol raid (or protests depending on who you ask) Clay welcomes Sally Kohn to the podcast to see if the arc of progress is still bending towards justice, or if some drastic change is needed. With the Biden Administration kicking off next week, there might just be that chance, but in the meantime they try and break down the factors that got our country to this point, what we need next, and how we can live, let go, and maybe not hate each other.
