    The precipitous and predictable fall of Eric Swalwell
    Apr 11 2026
    A once ascending political career is on the brink of collapse. In this episode, we break down the mounting sexual misconduct claims facing Eric Swalwell. In addition to his gubernatorial campaign, does it force a resignation from Congress? We dig into the long-running whispers that dogged Swalwell for years. What does this moment reveal about power, privilege, and the protection men often receive in politics? Join host Steve Tavares, a longtime chronicler of Swalwell's rise and unraveling, alongside Trishala Vinnakota and Justin Berton, for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation on what comes next—and what it all says about the system that enabled it.

    Mike Hutchinson Gives Everyone a Failing Grade
    Apr 5 2026
    Oakland Unified is at a crossroads—and the stakes couldn't be higher. This week, Oakland school boardmember Mike Hutchinson joins the podcast for a blunt conversation about OUSD's deepening budget crisis, and whether the district is inching toward another era of receivership. Hutchinson doesn't hold back, delivering sharp criticism about fellow elected officials up and down the Oakland political ladder, while once again calling for the interim superintendent to resign. Plus, Lee Thomas joins as co-host to break down and weigh in on San Leandro's growing police department scandal, what's emerging, and why it matters beyond city limits.

Plus, our early predictions for where the race is headed. We also dive into Oakland's growing debate over the strong mayor system, and Mayor Barbara Lee's new plan to tackle homelessness, plus a different take on the city celebrating Alysa Liu and Ryan Coogler. Finally, we cover James Aguilar's appointment to the San Leandro City Council following Bryan Azevedo's resignation amid an FBI probe—and what it means for local governance moving forward.
