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.

Recorded just days after Trump sent the National Guard into DC, civil rights lawyer, author of Copaganda, & co-founder of Equal Justice Under Law Alec Karakatsanis returns to Bad Faith alongside Worth Rises executive director Bianca Tylek, leading expert and author of The Prison Industry: How it Works and Who Profits, to explain the bigger picture of how the private prison lobby is driving the crackdown on immigrants, the rise in cop cities, and creeping authoritarianism in the United States.
