Bad Faith is two shows in one: it's a panel show about politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of performers and politicians, artists and activists, writers and radicals; and it's a two-way podcast where two people from two very different parts of the left make the case for one less terrible world. 
​
​Briahna Joy Gray (@briebriejoy) is a former attorney, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign, co-host of campaign podcast Hear The Bern, and a journalist who is early enough in her political career that she remains (tragically) sanguine.
​
​Virgil Texas (@virgiltexas) is an internet user and co-host of Chapo Trap House.

This week, Briahna speaks to Teddy Schleifer, a journalist who covers Silicon Valley billionaires for Puck News, about Sam Bankman-Fried, the collapse of his crypto exchange FTX, and his obsession with media. Why does he keep exposing himself via high profile interviews (and DM exchanges) that amount to free depositions for the SEC and DOJ -- both of whom are investigating him? Was his emphasis on "effective altruism" part of his effort to charm the media into seeing him as a good faith actor in an unregulated financial sector primed for fraud? Is it possible to be a "good billionaire?" This conversation took a philosophical turn. Come for a play by play of his NYT DealBook interview, stay for a materialist analysis of billionaire philanthropy.
