Turning Debate Anxiety Into Action w. Tre’vell Anderson

Tre’vell Anderson of Crooked’s What A Day podcast co-hosts with Alyssa Mastromonaco this week! They dive into the 2nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, the first Trump v. Biden presidential debate, and the status of the Supreme Court’s rulings in news. Then, Hysteria producer Fiona Pestana joins to discuss the current state of anti-trans legislation — and what we can do about it. Finally, we’re feeling very sane in Sani-Petty.
