Adam Cagley is an actor and writer. He’s been doing the Hollywood thing since he was kid. He got to work with Jeremy Allen White when he played Lip’s roommate on Shameless. Then, he walked away from all of it to become a Horror Writer. Books no less. We talk about his journey.

Dennis Trainor Jr. is an actor, writer, and stage performer. He was the Communications Director for Jill Stein, and he was active during both Occupy and the early days of political YouTube with his channel, Acronym TV. We’ve both distanced ourselves from the YouTube space some. Another thing we have in common: We’re both Edinburgh Fringe bound this year, 2026. 

Ready to talk about sex? Billy Procida is a sex-positive comedian and self-proclaimed whore. He’s the host of the Manwhore podcast, and founder of the Naked Comedy Show, which constantly sells out. I met Billy at a comedy festival over 10 years ago when he was still finding his footing in all of this.

Mike Siegel is a comedian, TV Host, and podcaster. He hosts one of my favorite podcasts, Travel Tales with Mike Siegel. I was lucky enough to guest on there twice.

John F. O’Donnell is a comedian, TV Host, and Mental Health Advocate. We’ve been friends since the Redacted Tonight days. Those were simpler times when people genuinely believed that left-wing comedians were Russian spies. Somehow, things have gotten even crazier.

Brandie Posey is a comedian, podcaster, and record label owner. Her new special, Milk Job, is out now and her label is Burn This Records. She brings a punk rock DIY ethos to putting out comedy albums, which is beyond a breath of fresh air amidst a crumbling, fascist friendly industry. We break it down the only way two lefty millennials know how.

George De Stefano is an author, journalist, and critic. In my show, Anti-Fascist Pasta Night, I make reference to MAGAroni, a new moniker for right-wing Italian-Americans. I knew I needed to find the inventor of this hysterical slogan. Well, George is the inventor! Please welcome to the show, the creator of the MAGAroni tag, among so many other amazing things.

Daniel Mate is a musician, playwright, author, and podcaster. He recently co-authored a book with his father, Dr. Gabor Mate, and he’s the co-host of the Bad Hasbara podcast.

Nick O’Malley is the singer/songwriter for the Wisconsin leftist punk band, The First Rule. Also, as a resident of Kenosha, he has a first hand perspective on the event, trial, and murders, and yes they were murders, committed by Kyle Rittenhouse.
