Not much of an episode this month because Rev Dr PoopDaddy's computer erased all the audio recordings for January's episode when he updated his computer. Shit happens and we'll be back for February.Monthly summary of some of the top new stories and the capitalist machinations behind the event. Also tips and tricks for living a better life through direct action.

Wha a week it was! Rachel Hinton joins Ben to discuss it all. Including…buses impounded. The Ed Burke defense. Is listener Linda right about the Sanctuary City referendum? The “jungle cat” of west loop real estate. And our love for libraries, librarians and books. Rachel has a recommendation.

It was eight years ago the audio of a speech Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave to a London audience was unearthed. On December 4, 1964, Dr. King spoke before the British group "Christian Action," days before receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo later that month. Dr. King spoke of the American civil rights struggle, economic, educational, police & judicial injustice and South African apartheid as well. What's stunning is how relevant his words then are today.

Yesterday I sort of unloaded on y'all, exasperated as I (and my neighbors in Old Fourth Ward) have been about the unhoused. Perhaps its just the bitter cold of late bringing homelessness to the forefront. In any event, it just so happens advocates for the unhoused, along with city leaders, have been out getting a census of sorts and advancing a strategy already in action. Hear their press conference from this morning. Then, with former President Donald Trump securing his second batch of GOP

Today we will talk about the now viral interview of Kat Williams on Shannon sharps podcast. We will talk about his beefs, his accomplishments and what’s he’s been up to. Love a mojo you know one thing about cat is that he’ll always speak his truth his way on his terms. Also we will talk about the responds from Ice Cube to Kevin Hart. Thank you for listening. Take care, be safe and have a great day or (night).

America's unhoused population is disdained even by those on the left inconvenienced by them. There; I said it. The problem is, like most of this country's major issues, the right chooses demonizing and finger-pointing, leaving the left with few options for political collaboration. This hit close to home for me, literally, so I felt like venting a little. Atlanta's pro-public training facility faction tried to slip one by city council last night, and they almost succeeded. Almost. I'm

It's so delicio-awkward watching as the remaining two GOP presidential candidate contradict one another. In particular, as Nikki Haley blithely spouts nonsense about the U.S. never being a racist nation, her opponent - the former U.S. President, with his noted civil rights mis-steps, refers to her by her ethnic birth name in a not-so-subtle dogwhistle to his base. He's also gone "birther" in her direction. This all has me hoping she's able to stay in the race awhile - and

Busy news day but it can all wait til tomorrow, yeah? Today I got to speak with producer, award-winning screenwriter and actress from Gillian Rabin, along with Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters today about the premiere of Gillian's thought-provoking short film, "L-8." You can watch it HERE. Quite the thought-starter! The premise: "Set in a not-so-distant future where period tracking is state-mandated, abortion is now punishable by death, and reporting abortion

Admittedly, with little else on but football, I've been binging 'Suits,' and I'm through seven full seasons - just the sort of prep I apparently needed for covering local, state & American politics, because - wow - the courtroom drama! So we have a Fani Willis affair allegation - from a Trump ally attorney - tying the Fulton D.A. to a special prosecutor who's not (yet) divorced. Trump-fawning Republicans under the gold dome are pouncing. Then we have Trump's attorney

Fulton district attorney Fani Willis has twice tried to respond to allegations of impropriety levied against her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade ... except she's yet to respond to the most salacious part of the allegations ... that she and Wade are (allegedly) in a romantic relationship. Illegal? No. Improper? Debatable. A bad look? Indisputable. Also, how are two of the brightest legal minds in metro Atlanta not smart enough to buy separate flight and cruise tickets? Former Arkansas

So we've been waiting (and waiting) for Fani Willis to respond to those 'salacious' allegations a Trump co-defendant's attorney dropped last week, and whew, today we got a (filed) response. First, it turns out Nathan Wade's marriage is coming apart because his wife (not he, with Fani) had strayed from the marriage. Bomb. Shell. Okay, so that answers to Fani needing (she doesn't) to testify in their divorce, but it still leaves unanswered the question "was there a

I am not a religious person, but I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, so it's not as if I don't have a decent grasp of the values of the white evangelical voting bloc. So how do we square Donald Trump taking 53% of Iowa's white evangelical voter support last night - and since that's actually being a dip from his 2020 and 2016 numbers, is that a harbinger for his prospects this November? That got me to wondering just how we are where we are - in an era where the white evangelical

I don't always know when I set up an interview if it's going to be an agreeable conversation, and when I set up today's talk with Alan Holmes, host of the podcast "Hidden Lynchings" and staunch reparations advocate, I wasn't actually sure we'd vibe like we did. See, Alan and I had gone back & forth a time or two on Twitter/X over reparations, the mechanics of it, the priority (or lack of) Democrats and President Joe Biden seem to give it and the political realities

Enjoyed catching up with political consultant Andrew Heaton from Sagamore Hill Consulting. We bantered on Georgia's redrawn maps, the upcoming legislative session and did some 2024 predicting. Good times. Second half of the show, I ceded some time to "Politics Girl" to review her mid-December "impeachment" retort, and then I somehow wound up railing on the GOP's preening about immigration at the southern border while doing absolutely nothing about it where they're

With the latest ("salacious") allegations levied at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Atlanta-Journal Constitution scribe Patricia Murphy makes a compelling case to wonder what the embattled DA is thinking. Buckle up if you've not already ready this. It's not an easy listen, either. Eavesdropping on Judge McAfee's hearing, in the aftermath, however, all we got was Trump's attorney Steve Shadow calling the allegations "salacious" and asking for time to

Man arrested for passing counterfeit bills at a Wawa in New Jersey… People were hospitalized in Taiwan when they ate a Tide-pod like object that people thought it was candy, in a presidential campaign parade... British woman reunited with missing cat after 7 years, who had only been living 300 yards away… & more.

Governor Brian Kemp gave his annual "State of the State" address before a joint session of the general assembly today, and I chose to replay and annotate. HERE is the Georgia Democratic Party's response presser.

Then, Mark shares an old cut of Don Lemon as news breaks that he will have his own show on X, formerly known as Twitter.

If it isn't yet abundantly clear to you by now that Donald Trump fullly intends to stretch out his legal woes long enough to pardon himself, today's legal maneuvers in Fulton County pretty much leave no doubt as to how desperate his team is. I can disagree agreeably with the likes of Martha Zoller, but I can (and do) also point out doublespeak on districts belonging to voters when her preferred political party continues to embrace gerrymandering. Marjorie Taylor Greene had a January 6th
