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.

Friend of the show and People's Policy Project wonk Matt Bruenig returns to Bad Faith to give the insider perspective on the lawsuits against health tech CEO Bryan Johnson. You may know Johnson as the guy who used his kid as a "blood bag" (i.e., injected himself with his son's plasma) and who goes to great lengths to "live forever." As it turns out, he has also gone to great lengths to prevent his employees from talking about the hostile work environment they allegedly worked under. Matt represents several former employees in their labor lawsuit contesting the confidentiality agreements they were made to sign. Come for tech guru gossip, stay for some preliminary thoughts on the Abundance discourse that has recently taken over left media.
