Alabama Liberal breaks down each senate race taking place this year, and the odds of Democrats taking each one of the 23 Republican-held ones.

Episode 59–Will the Media Let us Have a Normal POTUS Again?
Since the race for the White House has completely changed since episode 58, Alabama Liberal takes a brief victory lap after correctly predicting Biden would be the nominee. Then AL examines connected issues like Coronavirus panic, the persistent failure of Bernie Sanders, and a news media that doesn’t really want America to have a President…
Episode 58–Electability vs. Ideology (vs. Ideas)
AL dives into electability, and the strange disdain Democratic primary voters appear to have for the question–whereas they were completely comfortable asking it last year when minority candidates were still in the race.

Episode 57–Knives Out in Alabama! Roy Moore, Sessions, and Trump vs. Doug Jones
After looking at last week’s rowdy “Get Bloomberg” debate, Alabama Liberal looks at one race that has gotten even nastier than the Democratic primary: the Alabama Senate race. He does a deep dive into the first ever Alabama senate race to receive national attention, and why each of the “candidates” (which seems more like a…
Episode 56–Doomberg, WarRuin, Klobutcher, Russki Goobard, and Sunkers are Ready…to Lose
After examining America’s need to have a “best” in everything from football to movies to dating (“The Bachelor”), AL sees strange parallels between the upset for Best Picture and the Democratic nomination.

Alabama Liberal explores the divisions within this year’s Democratic field, and how that has led to a frontrunner that is all but invisible to the media.
Episode 53–Proving Racism (a Private School Nightmare Story)
After taking a few minutes to link Trump’s impeachment demands with white entitlement gone mad, Alabama Liberal delivers the most personal podcast episode yet. By delving deep into a private school nightmare his son and family experienced and how little he could do about it–he proves just how hard it is to make a Civil…
Episode 52–Traitor.Treason.Trump
In our first episode in nearly two years, we talk everyone’s least favorite topic: Donald J. Trump, and his (specifically) his list of shady dealings with hostile foreign governments. Questions abound like: Is Melania his Russian handler? Did Trump really win the electoral college? What would convince his fans he’s an active Russian agent or…
Special Podcast Reunion Episode: “The Center Must Hold”
In a special reunion episode of “A Year Long Conversation,” we dive deep into Doug Jones upset of Roy Moore, what this means for Alabama (and the South), Trump’s first year in office, Russian meddling, predictions for 2018 and 2020, and the paradox of Trump’s Russia-sponsored nationalism, at a time when fascism is having a moment what…

Episode 48–Is America Still Great?
For our last episode during Obama’s presidency (sniff, sniff, I’m not crying–it’s just raining…on my face), we look into globalism. What’s America’s place in the world now and how do we stack up militarily, economically, environmentally, technologically, and education-wise? The results may not be all good but at least we have Meryl Streep. Suck it, France. By…
