Hank Podcast, America Listens — My latest substack supporting "Tell The Truth, Cenk" is now up. It's a comprehensive listing of evidence of TYT's union-busting. Francesca Fiorentini fired by Cenk Uygur, Bernie Sanders and AOC hold a rally, Ro Khanna takes questions, Emma Vigeland schools Pod Save America From Long Overdue Worker Revolution, Harriet Fraad on Democracy at Work nails capitalism and plenty of above-average rambling! 

HPAL is the Winners and Losers audio only podcast. That means Hank isn't on camera. The YouTube version actually has a lot of visuals, and in the middle of recording this I decided to include videos I was playing and reacting to so it isn't audio only but it's a lot easier since I don't have to bother with the camera and the mental wear and tear it causes

Hank Podcasts, America Listens (HPAL-Audio Only) — Skip 30 minutes to bypass the very messy opening ramble. Self-sabotaging, metric system, gratitude, Star wars assassin lizard, Adobe, money, then updates on upcoming substacks and then settling into thoughts about watching the lie about TYT's unionizing workers work in real time and where it might fit into the overall film, plus Francesca Fiorentini has strong words for Cenk and Dr Phil introduces YTY.

Look for more audio only episodes. In order to be able to devote the attention and energy to the work I need to do for the documentary, I'm aiming to do a weekly audio only podcast. This is a pretty low energy spend that I should be able to manage, especially if I get it down to an hour. It'll get better with repetition, I promise.
