It's been a few weeks! In this episode we spend two minutes on masks and several more minutes on the elephant in the room: Trump's behavior after the election. Listen in on Red Fish and Blue Fish's take. We're so glad to be back, and so grateful you're listening!
Our second episode inspired by a listener comment - this time about the hypocrisy of both parties. Hear what she has to say, and whether we agree, or disagree, and what we do with that information. We inevitably trend back to another thorny topic in this episode, and blue fish holds red fish's feet (do fish have feet?!) to the fire.
In this episode, Blue Fish shares some thoughts about the two parties and their makeup, and what the election revealed. The discussion takes an unexpected turn to the use of a certain word. Keeping it civil, post-election!
The results aren't final but we've still learned a lot about voters from the over 90% of votes that have been counted. Blue Fish shares her insights with 3 facts and 3 opinions she has regarding the election results, and Red Fish reacts with his thoughts. The country is divided. Listen in on this civil discussion, 48 hours after Election Day 2020.
In this episode we start with a listener comment for the first time. He opines on caricaturization by both sides and we react. David kicks off our reaction with a surprise question for Rosina. What biases do we all have and what, if anything, can we do about them?
