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.

Author and journalist Vijay Prashad returns to Bad Faith initially to discuss Venezuela but gets sidetracked by Briahna's frustration with several media happenings from last week: the Compact article "The Lost Generation" arguing that white millennial men have faced discrimination as a consequence of DEI, and Vivek Ramaswamy's New York Times op/ed that attempts to pull the GOP back from its descent into open racism, which often manifests in the use of anti-Indian slurs against Ramaswamy and Second Lady Usha Vance. The two do get to Venezuela eventually, but life is about the journey.
