  • Texas Senate Polls, New Jersey Voting Rights, and LGBTQ Hockey Rising

    Texas Senate Polls, New Jersey Voting Rights, and LGBTQ Hockey Rising
    Mar 2 2026
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rocklin shares a wealth of encouraging stories that uplift the spirit of progressives and advocates for change. We kick off with a promising poll showing Representative Jasmine Crockett leading in a hypothetical Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas, demonstrating her strong support among likely Democratic voters.

    Next, we spotlight New Jersey's assembly panel, which has approved a state-level Voting Rights Act aimed at reinstating crucial protections against voter suppression, ensuring fair access to the ballot for all citizens.

    We also dive into the world of literature as we highlight the new season of the podcast "Band Camp," where hosts Jen and Dan explore banned books, shedding light on censorship and the importance of free expression.

    In sports, we celebrate the surge in participation and interest in LGBTQ hockey leagues across the nation, fueled by a popular show that has inspired new players and teams to emerge.
    Additionally, we discuss how ten Democratic-leaning states are stepping up to assist residents in affording Obamacare health plans, filling the gap left by the expiration of federal tax credits and ensuring continued access to healthcare.

    A listener-suggested story reveals the resignation of celebrity doctor Peter Attia from CBS News amid controversy, reminding us of the importance of accountability in public life.
    Lastly, we report on Oregon lawmakers advancing a bill to increase the lodging tax to fund wildlife conservation programs, a bipartisan effort that reflects a commitment to preserving natural resources and protecting endangered species.

  • Banned Camp: Defending Literature and Canadian Library Heroes

    Banned Camp: Defending Literature and Canadian Library Heroes
    Mar 1 2026
    In this special crossover edition of Good News for Lefties and the Banned Camp podcast, host Beowulf Rochlen joins Dan and Jen for a lively discussion on the pressing issue of book banning. The trio dives into the latest headlines, including a significant victory in Canada, where the Jake Epp Library board in Steinbach, Manitoba, has successfully blocked an attempt to remove the Christian gender-affirming book "Queerfully and Wonderfully Made" by Lee Fink. This inspiring decision highlights the ongoing fight against censorship and the importance of supporting LGBTQ youth in their quest for identity amidst rising challenges.

    The conversation also touches on the global rise of far-right ideologies and their impact on literature and free expression. Beowulf and the hosts explore cultural attitudes towards sex and violence in media, questioning the societal double standards that prioritize the latter over the former. Tune in for a thought-provoking episode filled with humor, insight, and a commitment to championing the freedom to read.

    Join the resistance at Banned Camp, the hilarious comedy podcast where the hosts read banned books chapter-by-chapter to figure out exactly what made everyone so afraid of them in the first place.
