Idiot Soup: A Political Podcast

Following the wake of George Flloyd's murder at the hands of a police officer, the world erupted into an impassioned series of protests demanding change and reform in every aspect of political life. From the criminal justice system to our schools, the Black Lives Matter movement is creating a call for political and social change that cannot be ignored. 

On this episode, join Kim and I as we talk about our protesting experience and dissect some of the core conservative arguments against the Black Lives Matter Movement. And, of course, we talk about ACAB. So if you're wondering what ACAB is, why black-on-black crime is the most absurd counterargument to BLM, or how to be an ally in this situation, tune in to this episode.

The University of Notre Dame has been in a myriad of headlines for the past few weeks. As one of the only top universities to attempt 100% in person classes during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we've received an onslaught of both criticism and praise. On this episode of Idiot Soup, four undergraduates at the University of Notre Dame analyze our university's policies, what this means for COVID on our campus, and what we think the future holds for the Fighting Irish. 

Join Anjali, Dane, Isa, and Geo as we talk about COVID in College, from Zoom University to the implications of being an international student. And as always, stay safe. 

So you want to talk about Kamala Harris?

Last week, in a historic decision, the Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Senator Kamala Harris of California as his Vice Presidential pick. As the first black woman to be nominated on a major party ticket and the first Indian American to be nominated, Senator Harris's nomination is history in the making. But, the woman who dubs herself a "progressive prosecutor" has had an iffy past when it comes to criminal justice and reform. During her tenure as a District Attorney and Attorney General she has made some notable regressive decisions and policy changes that have come to haunt her during this election season. While the nomination has been controversial in some progressive circles, it has conversely been lauded by some progressive activists including Angela Davis. So who is Kamala Harris?

Join Anjali, Dane, Eshaan, Vinny, and Benny as we dive into Kamala Harris's history. From her first day being bussed to public school to her recent policy endeavors in the senate: this is a podcast to discover who Kamala Harris is and what her nomination means for the future of the Democratic Party.
