Description
Julio and guest co-host Jamilah King, reporter and host of the Mother Jones podcast, discuss the emotional testimonies from the first House select committee hearing investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. They also unpack the latest COVID-19 news, including the CDC’s new guidelines for fully vaccinated people, and the looming eviction crisis. And, they talk about Simone Biles’ withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics and the importance of mental health for athletes. You can listen to and download our engineer Leah Shaw Dameron’s new album, “Play Beautifully,” on Bandcamp or Apple Music.
