On today’s show: Bernie explains the problem with the media narrative around AOC’s DNC ‘speech,’ says DNC should have featured more progressives.

Bonus interview: Sam speaks with voice actor and musician H. Jon Benjamin (@HJBenjamin) about his terrible new album, Jazz Daredevil: The Soundtrack Collection.
