Nat and Ang are joined by Nichola Hines, President of the League of Women Voters of Georgia. Questions, so many questions. And answers! What's it like to work in a passionate non-partisan organization in a major swing state during one of the most sharply partisan, politically charged, and democracy challenged eras in US history? What's up with the Georgia legislature? BTW, did ya know y'all have a conspiracy theorist in Congress?! Do you suppose democracy will endure in spite of the mess we’re in? Oh, and one more…is there such a thing as hope?

Just in time for election day, join the gals as they ponder a place like Georgia in a time like now with a hero like Nichola Hines.

It’s time to vote and here we all are, bombarded at every turn by misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and outright lies. Nat and Ang to the rescue, with a lot of help from Delany Zimmer, Voter Services Coordinator for the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. Delany valiantly supports voter efforts to find truth in spite of our poisonous politics and polluted information ecosystem. What’s more, she does so in a key swing state! This makes her a real hero as well as a mighty fine person to interview right now.

In 1925, John Scopes, a high school biology teacher in rural Tennessee, was indicted for violating a new state law against teaching evolution. The record of his trial is a textbook all its own for today. A century later the very issues that played out in a small-town courthouse––from politics to religion and everything in between––still divide Americans.

Join Natalia and Angela as they grapple with the engaging, sometimes frightening, and always illuminating experience of reading Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation, by Brenda Wineapple.
