Trump Convictions, LGBTQ+ Icons, and WNBA Rivalries
This week, Josh Moon and David Person kick off with light-hearted banter about Ice Cube and the felony convictions of former President Donald Trump.
Bill Britt, editor-in-chief of the Alabama Political Reporter, joins the show to discuss his recent columns and the impact of notable LGBTQ+ figures from Alabama. They delve into the political dynamics in Alabama, challenges of progressive leadership, and the state’s reluctance to honor its diverse history.
Josh and David shift to discussing the rising popularity of the WNBA, particularly focusing on Kaitlyn Clark’s impact. They explore the media narrative, potential rivalries, and the importance of representation in sports. Then, the recent criticism of Dr. Fauci by Republican politicians.
Finally, this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.
