Academic, author, & ordained minister Michael Eric Dyson joins Bad Faith to debate the merits of voting for Kamala Harris specifically -- and Democrats more broadly -- as increasing numbers of the party membership acknowledge that they require significant reform after their 2024 electoral defeat. Are those claiming that "Bernie would have won" in 2016 and 2020 right? Or is there a case to be made for the more centrist Democratic Party approach -- even now? Rarely is someone with as large a platform as Dr. Dyson willing to join a progressive podcast for a rich debate on progressive strategy, so this one is a real treat.

Memoirs from authors Glory Edim and Moshe Kasher narrate their lives through cultural objects: books and subcultures. First, Edim, the founder of the Well-Read Black Girl book club, grew up as the child of Nigerian immigrant parents searching for their way into American identity. As part of that journey, Edim found herself through reading. Her memoir, Gather Me, is a coming-of-age story told through her encounters with books. In today's episode, Edim speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about the early influence of stories such as Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, reading as an act of defiance, and a trove of letters that helped the author reconnect with her father. We then hear from comedian Moshe Kasher, whose memoir Subculture Vulture is organized around six scenes he's inhabited throughout his life. After deciding to get sober, Kasher accessed community and recovery in expected and unexpected places, from Alcoholics Anonymous to the rave scene. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss healing core wounds, the relationship between Burning Man and the Jewish Days of Awe, and the responsibility of being a comedian today.
