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.

What's next for labor under Trump? Biden's reputation as the most pro-union President in a generation took a hit with his opposition to the railroad strike a year ago and was further diminished following recent reporting that Kamala Harris dismissed Teamsters president Sean O'Brien saying, "I'll win with or without you." The Democrats' procedural bungle also resulted in the National Labor Relations Board swinging Republican two years before it had to. Certainly things could get worse under Trump, but is there evidence for optimism in the labor space? Author of the new book We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor & Winning Big Eric Blanc joins Bad Faith to make the case.
