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.

Journalist and host of "Dispatches" at Breakthrough News Rania Khalek returns to Bad Faith to give a comprehensive rundown of the history that led to the ousting of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, explain how the West is rehabilitating former al-Qaeda member Abu Mohammed al-Jolani as a moderate, & discuss the implications for Israel's expansionist goals in the region. Stay to the end for Rania's assessment of AOC's failure to win a key committee chair, and what that means about the viability of the left's "inside" strategy.
