Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast

We sit down with the women of the #SisterInLaw Podacast - Joyce Vance, Jill Wine-Banks, Barb McQuade, and Kimberly Atkins - to discuss Trump's ongoing legal troubles, Mereck Garland's nomination for Attorney General, and the GOP's continued attempts at voter suppression.

What a week! Malcolm Nance shares his time with Martin Sheen to discuss the fight to defend democracy across the globe. And Joyce Vance joins us to talk impeachment and the ongoing lawsuits against Donald Trump.

This week we're talking impeachment with former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner and the identity crisis in the Republican party with former GOP rep David Jolly.

This week we talk to Nadya Tolokonnikova from Pussy Riot about the recent mass arrest of protestors in Russia and how she finds the courage to keep fighting. Then we discuss the recent wave of Covid mutations and vaccines with science journalist Laurie Garrett.

Sit back and enjoy a wonderful chat with Hollywood royalty as we talk to Rosanna Arquette about her fascinating life and career, both as an actor and an activist.

We talked to Sarah Kendzior just hours before the Biden inauguration about holding the insurrectionists accountable so they can't come back to attempt another coup down the road. Then we bask in the inauguration afterglow with Dr. Irwin Redlener and question whether we should still refer to him as Dr. Doom.

From our discussions this week on The Stephanie Miller Show, we get Rep. John Garamendi's account from January 6th at the Capitol and Malcolm Nance tells us what to expect from these seditionists and terrorists next - and what the response will be.

We take a look back at another one of the highlights from 2020 - our chat with Noel Casler. We discuss his experience working on the Apprentice for six seasons and what he saw up-close from the current "President" and his kids: the crudeness, the drugs, the racism... and the incontinence.

Join us for a look back at one of the few highlights from 2020: the time we got to chat with Randy Rainbow! Joined by our mutual friend Jody Hamilton, we discuss Randy's self-made success, what it's like getting to meet his heroes, and how he became an accidental activist.

It's dueling hate letters with our friend Kimberley Johnson. We exchange some of the vilest comments we've received from the dark recesses of the internet. Is there something about a strong progressive woman who isn't afraid to speak up for what she believes in that just brings out the wackos? The answer, apparently, is yes.

Veteran TV producer Shelley Ross (Good Morning America, Prime Time Live) joins us to discuss her new book "Scruffy" about our best friends in the pandemic (and always) - our pooches. As we face a 9/11-size death toll every day, Shelly recounts what it was like to cover that disaster live. We also get her account of the time Roger Ailes offered her a job on the condition that she enter into a sexual relationship with him.Find Shelly's book "Scruffy" at https://scruffybook.com/ or wherever books are sold.

Journalist Greg Palast has been investigating voter suppression for years and now he's got his sights set on Georgia in the weeks before the runoff. He details the hard work already being done out there by people like Stacey Abrams and why Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger isn't exactly the hero the media's made him out to be by standing up to Trump.

We got back to 2018 for our very first free Happy Hour podcast when Rob Reiner joined us to talk politics, his history as a political activist, the difference between "All In the Family" and "Roseanne", and his 2017 political drama "Shock and Awe".

We get some pre-holiday advice from Dr. Doom himself - Dr. Irwin Redlener. He tells us his recommendations for best practices for celebrating Thanksgiving during the pandemic. Bottom line: keep your in-person celebrations limited to members of your household.For more specifics, read Dr. Redlener's article "Thanksgiving for Live, 2020"https://irwinredlener.org/posts/2020/11/14/thanksgiving-for-life-2020-tg4l

This week we're joined by actress and activist Mimi Kennedy (Mom, Dharma & Greg). We discuss her important work educating voters to prevent disenfranchisement and bond over growing up in a Republican household in upstate New York.

We bask in the glory of the Presidential election results with Malcolm Nance and Frangela and discuss what comes next.

Elie Mystal joins us as we grapple with our optimism and dread before election day 2020. We get his clear-eyed legal perspective on what kind of GOP f---ery it will take to give the election to Trump and what we can do to fight back. Plus, we get a sad/hilarious childhood Halloween story. A great chat!

It's our interview with Mama's friend Stephen Stills from Sexy Liberal Virtual Tour #5. We hear Stephen's take how the current political climate compares with that of the 1960's and get an acoustic taste of his song "Amazonia".

It's our extremely entertaining chat with actor Bradley Whitford! (Get Out, The West Wing) He discusses the West Wing reunion, why we have to get out the vote (get it?), and why we must stay engaged beyond the election. Super smart and super funny!

It's the one and only Buzz Burbank! You may know him from 'The Bob Cesca Show' right here on the Sexy Liberal Podcast Network, or from his own show, 'Buzz Burbank News and Comment' (https://www.relmnetwork.com/buzz-burbank-news) We go waaaay back to Mama's days at WCKG in Chicago when Buzz - then still professionally know as Mike Elston - filled in as the news man for a day. We play some clips and talk about the desperate situation the Trump administration (and the country) is currently in.
