Between the holiday weekend and everything that happened last week, as well as the timing of the first round of Brazil’s election (which we planned to discuss), we ended up not recording a new episode for you all this week. We expect to be back next week but also don’t forget to check out last week’s episode if you missed it: all about Supreme Court history and court-packing.

Also as a reminder we won’t be putting out a new episode on the week of the November election (which is true every year).

Topic: Recapping the 2018 Prison Strike and the impact of the recent hurricane on prisoners. People: Bill, Rachel. Recorded: Sept 15th, 2018.

Episode 242 (26 min):
AFD 242
