Before we were The Professional Left -- hell, before we were married -- Blue Gal and I were the "Driftglass and Blue Gal Podcast". Junior dude (11 at the time, and who will be starting his sophomore year at college this Fall) helped with our show opening. We were figuring it all out, so it sounds a little rough. We had no fake sponsors. We had no Internet Angel building us gorgeous websites. We had few regular listeners. We has not yet been written up in our local paper. It was just us, trying to make sense of what was happening to the world.
And what were the burning issues of the day back on July 2, 2010?
The economy and the GOP trying to pretend it gives a shit about the working class.
The racism of the fake Tea Party.
Me getting laid off.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, baby :-)
Enjoy.
Don't forget to visit our new website -- http://www.proleftpod.com -- for all of the sweet bells and whistles: there are links to donate to our podcast work at that site, as well as links to our swingin' Zazzle merch store, our respective blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Kittehs! and much more. Many thanks once again to @theologop for building it all for us!
What was I writing about that week in July of 2010? Well, if you really need to know...
- Grace Hopper's Revenge
- David Brooks: The Man of Constant Sorrow
- There. Is. No. Tea. Party.
- On The Occasion Of Robert Heinlein's Birth
The Professional Left is brought to you by our wholly imaginary "sponsors" and real listeners like you!
