Episode 50: Rude Mechanical Orchestra & The Sick Times ft. Betsy & Jsin

This week have two comrades from the movement, Betsy and Jsin, on the pod. Ever been out at a protest in NYC and heard that marching band music? Chances are it was them and Rude Mechanical Orchestra. They tell us about what it’s like providing music and energy for the movement. Betsy also co-founded The Sick Times, one of the most reliable news sources for Covid information nationwide and in the city. She gives us a rundown on all of the latest trends, and dispels common misconceptions and narratives surrounding Covid.

We also get into some current events, including the latest developments in the corruption case against the Eric Adams campaign, as well as another NYPD top brass getting investigated by the DOJ. This– and a lot more on this week’s episode of Unapologetic Taaaaawk!
