Shownotes Transcript

EPISODE #50: We made it to episode 50! This week, Liz Wolfe is joining us to discuss the week that was. We start off with the TikTok divestiture bill that was signed into law by President Biden, and was conveniently placed into a foreign aid package for Ukraine & Israel. Next up, Ivy League colleges shut down over yay-Hamas protests. Is all anti-semitism? Or just an excuse for kids to go glamping with their friends. We transition into protests at work and woke activism. Coinbase started the trend years ago with mission driven company, and now their bet is on the right side of history. Finally, the NPR story gets even better (or worse). Katherine Maher appears to be involved with the CIA. Enjoy!

Featuring Mike Solana, Brandon Gorrell, Sanjana Friedman, Liz Wolfe
