[podcast_subscribe id="23590"] Michael Salamone chats with Jen Winston, (aka @jenerous on https://twitter.com/jenerous (Twitter) & https://instagram.com/jenerous (Instagram)) a writer, creator, and bisexual social media influencer living in Brooklyn. She runs a feminist social platform with over 190,000 followers, which she started after the 2016 US election to share memes that helped her stay mad. The platform has since become a space dedicated to unlearning, where Jen documents her experiences around sexuality, systemic oppression, and self. Jen's first book, https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Greedy-Notes-from-a-Bisexual-Who-Wants-Too-Much/Jen-Winston/9781982179175 (GREEDY: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much), comes out this fall. GREEDY is a memoir that follows Jen’s attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be “queer enough,” and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you’re the poster-child for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused. GREEDY shows us that being bi is about so much more than who you’re sleeping with—it’s about finding stability in a state of flux and defining yourself on your own terms. This book inspires us to rethink the world as we know it, reminding us that Greedy was a superpower all along. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Greedy-Notes-from-a-Bisexual-Who-Wants-Too-Much/Jen-Winston/9781982179175 (Pre-order Jen's book now at Simon & Schuster.) https://thebimonthly.substack.com/ (Subscribe to Jen's newsletter, The Bi-Monthly).

Qualified immunity is a ruling by the Supreme Court that requires lower court judges to ignore whether any laws were broken and dismiss the case, UNLESS another police officer had been found guilty previously in a similar situation, making it near impossible for any officer breaking the law to be found guilty the first time around to open the door to accountability. The Campaign to End Qualified Immunity is seeking Federal legislation to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling. Through their website, https://michaelsalamone.com/wp-admin/campaigntoendqualifiedimmunity.org (campaigntoendqualifiedimmunity.org) you can sign up to be active in lobbying for changing this antiquated ruling with origins in protecting the KKK post-Civil-War.

Moments after the conclusion of the big Bernie Sanders, #OurRevolution live-stream event, Michael Salamone and Anoa Changa (from the Way with Anoa) chatted about it, what they wish they would have heard, concerns, hopes, and a bunch of other stuff too.
Michael Salamone has a quick rant about the newly uncovered, once thought deleted, Hillary Clinton "private" emails, which aren't at all about yoga or Chelsea's wedding and everything to do with the Clintons selling the US Government. She's Not Into Yoga. She Is Into Champagne.
It's hard to believe it's been two years since we started this broadcast. Michael Salamone chats with his first and most frequent guest, Rev. Quincy Worthington about politics, morality and humanity. Just like they've chatted about these last two years. .
Michael Salamone talks about stuff that's in the works for Media Revolt and then rants about fascists defending killer cops, Hillary and Trump, pro-wrestling and how it doesn't have to be like this.
Michael Salamone of Salamone (the podcast) and Kyle Burnett of the podcast Tending the Nerd team up for an epic conversation spanning two different shows about how comic books influenced their morality, politics and sense of justice. Get to know these two men through the heroes they love and the ideals these morality plays in four panels instilled in them. Two great Podcast Revolution shows in an uncanny cross-over event! For part two, tune into Tending the Nerd on Monday, August 15, 2016! .
August 9, 2016: Michael Salamone about endorsing Jill Stein, Social Media, Podcast Revolution, Hillary's obsession with the Russians, and a bunch of other stuff too.
To and from and during our trip to Philadelphia for the DNC last week, I recorded six hours of conversations separate from our nightly round-table discussions involving the great Benjamin Dixon, the exceptional John MacDonald and the fabulous Mike James. The audio quality is often questionable. There are a few rough edits. I've wheedled the recordings down two an hour and a half, predominantly featuring the car ride home conversation we Periscoped bits and pieces of. However, this really was a week-long conversation. Still, I feel like there are some great chunks throughout and wanted to share it with you. Our week-long talk centered around the power structure, globalization and the future of democracy. Feel free to eavesdrop on us if you can stand the rough audio chunks. There are car noises, weird noises of all sorts and even a pretty solid rainstorm. Between all that though, you can catch some insight from some guys who want better for the country they love. Cheers.
Michael Salamone, Benjamin Dixon, John McDonald and Mike James are one team of many involved in the DNCLive.net coverage of the 2016 Democratic National Convention. "As soon as I got in the car to head to Philly with Ben and John, it became clear that our week together was going to be full of excellent conversation. Once Mike James got added in, it became one conversation, interrupted only by sleep and the DNC. As part of my show's contribution to this indie media collaboration of DNClive.net, I wanted to share that part of our experience with our friends who listen. My show is pretty free form, but the constant has always been a place where I share good conversations. This is a good, multi-day conversation I want to share." --Michael Salamone Each night of the DNC, the guys will record a round table to discuss their experiences that day, and let the conversation go wherever it goes.
