Union train engineer Ross Grooters returns to the podcast along with The Real News' Maximilian Alvarez, and Bad Faith newbie and co-host of Well There's Your Problem Justin Roczniak. Every political & angle is covered, complete with Max's unbeatable sermons. You're not going to want to miss this one.
