Burn Notice: The podcast is changing direction -- SFAD S3 BONUS EPISODE
We've learned a lot from producing season 3 of SFAD, and since we had a hard time getting a recording scheduled this week in time for release, I figured I'd take the opportunity to discuss how I've been feeling about the podcast lately, the burn out I've been experiencing, where my priorities are right now (and why that's operating against the current setup for the podcast), reflecting on learnings from producing 25 episodes of a podcast, and explaining some ideas for season 4.
Next week will be a regular episode with me and Alex, talking about this topic at greater length with more details on what we're going to be doing for season 4.

Make Medicare Great Again -- is #Medicare4All possible in the US? Feat. KRISHNA Y -- SFAD S3E8
If you've been advocating for Medicare 4 All in recent years, this podcast is for you. Though all of us are in agreement that a well-orchestrated Medicare 4 All program would be great for the US, Krish and Millan are on opposite sides on whether it's feasible and whether it's worth fighting for instead of more incremental change to healthcare, with Alex serving as a more neutral arbiter with his own musings and wisdoms to chime in. For the #Medicare4All advocates out there, this podcast may give you some perspective/ammo in your fight to secure healthcare as a right.
This episode was something of a different type of episode than we've done before, but we hope you'll enjoy it all the same.

Star Wars IX predictions and MCU guess that movie, blind, w/ FRANK HOGAN JR - S2E2
The OG Trio is back to discuss our take on the new Star Wars trilogy so far and our predictions for Episode IX. Hint, we may not necessarily have a very high opinion of one of the two new Star Wars movies. Also, Frank, aka "*The* Comic Book Guy," faces off against Alex in a possibly slanted game of guess that movie, blind, MCU edition. And finally, Frank gives us a recap on anything new in the MCU and DCU (as of a few weeks before this episode comes out).
