Former Bernie 2020 co-chair, Ohio State Senator, and congressional candidate Nina Turner rejoins Bad Faith to talk about her new movement organization We Are Somebody.

Can lefty orgs regain the trust of the donor base after being disappointed by Bernie after the end of his campaigns? And how is she thinking about AIPAC as an obstacle to progressive candidacies and movements given what she went through running for Congress in OH-11, and given the political environment post-10/7?

Unexpected Elements - Scary science

In the week where many celebrated Halloween we are wondering about that tingle down your spine, the dryness in your mouth, the racing pulse - might it actually be good for you?

We also look into a special frequency of sound, just below our human hearing range, that might cause rational people to start feeling spooky.

And we explore Cryptids and the zoology of creatures that don’t really exist.

Plus, if you’re bilingual, do you really have a first and second language?

We also explore why driving a taxi is a workout for your brain and look at the benefits and pitfalls of cycling around the world.

Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Camilla Mota and Godfred Boafo.

Producer: Margaret Sessa-Hawkins, with Alex Mansfield, Tom Bonnett and Ben Motley
