Bad Faith - Episode 401 – Master Plan (w/ David Sirota)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Journalist, Bernie 2020 speechwriter, and founder of The Lever David Sirota joins Bad Faith to talk his new podcast series Master Plan, which tracks the roots of American corruption from the infamous 70s era Powell memo to our present day. We discuss the DNC, Chris Cuomo's newfound interest in the corrupting power of money in politics, & Kamala's price capping plan along with the bipartisan backlash to it. We also debate the limits of working from within the Democratic Party and whether or not the Bernie campaign -- where Brie and David were colleagues -- proves it cannot be done.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘How to Leave the House’ follows a quest for a missing package

Natwest, 23, is about to finally leave for university. But a package he's waiting for has gone missing and – fearing humiliation if its contents are found out – he spends 24 hours looking for it all over town. That's the premise of Nathan Newman's comic novel, How to Leave the House. In today's episode, Newman speaks with NPR's David Folkenflik about some of the odd neighborhood characters Natwest bumps into along the way, and how their own concerns and their perceptions of Natwest completely challenge the notion of who he thinks he is as the protagonist of his own story.
