109: Living in the Shai-aspora, with Raf...

Matt Lieb
About this episode

Matt and Daniel are joined by political activist Rafael Shimunov to examine the social construct of whiteness as it relates to pod favorite Shai Davidai, to witness a Shai on Shaiel war of words, and to open their collective third eye to irrational hatred of the other while getting a good stretch.

Raf asks New York City voters to rank Zohran Mamdani first, and fill in the rest of their ballot as they please - omitting Cuomo - in the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary.
