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…

The Finale Episode…
Episode 49–Mission Unaccomplished
If you enjoyed our amazing 50-state tour, why not recommend us to ANYONE that can help get this podcast syndicated? The next episode is our last one unless we get sponsors or syndication…
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…
Episode 47–Brody and Michael Save The World
The biggest of the “big,” it practically makes Trump look travel-sized. We take on no less than every big issue we can think of and answer questions from our listeners. How can interracial couples solve racism? How is automation a bigger economic threat than immigration? [Plus how to fix it.] Which Democrat is going to save us…
Episode 46–Are Millennials Different?
Are millennials really insufferable/spoiled/intolerable or is it largely a perception problem? After first taking aim at Trump’s cabinet picks, we debunk the myth that millennials actually have more than previous generations, and take on everything from the “gig economy” (which turns millennials into scab labor under the guise of entrepreneurial freedom) to ageism against older…
Episode 45–What the Fuck Happened?
In our first post-election episode (in which Hillary was supposed to be the 45th President) we go through the five stages of grief regarding Trump’s “win” and America’s loss. It’s our longest episode yet, and perhaps a bit scattered but I’m hoping an emotional listener will relate as we ask: who are the five types…
Episode 44–Why Are We Democrats?
In the last episode before we finally know who the 45th President will be (hint, starts with an H and ends with an illary Clinton), we rally the troops by talking about why we’re Democrats. Burning questions include: seriously, how did two guys from Alabama wind up as Democrats? How will each swing state vote…
Episode 43–The Gender Episode
We dive deep into all things men, women, and everyone in-between in a stand-out episode. Big questions are explored like: Are men and women really different in 2016? Is Trump the epitome of what women like Hillary have always had to fight against? Have women already surpassed men and how will that affect dating, marriage,…
Episode 42–Are Our Elections a Big Business?
Hot on the heels of the 3rd and (mercifully) final debate, we take you inside “the Election Industrial Complex.” We find that Trump is right about our elections being rigged, but—of course—not in the way he means. Why are incumbents more likely to die in office than be defeated? Why does the candidate who spends…
