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. What does Turner hope to accomplish that's different than other advocacy orgs and how? Can lefty orgs regain the trust of the donor base after being disappointed by Bernie after the end of his campaigns?

The new novel by Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors, is a project of historical fiction immersed in the culturally rich island of Penang in the 1920s.
