Episode 2: The Writers Strike Back, The Rights of Gun Stores, Bringing Attention to People Bringing Attention to the MMIW Crisis, and Faulting No-Fault Divorce; Recorded May 19th, 2023

We're back for our second episode! Due to the complex logistics of celebrating Mother's Day while we recorded, this episode was recorded "on the road" in Derik's garage instead of our usual recording booth at Juneau Makerspace.

We share our thoughts on the Writers Strike, a bill before the Alaska legislature to allow gun stores to stay open during declared emergencies, a recent rally at the state capitol to bring attention to the missing and murdered indigenous people crisis, and no-fault divorce. We even occasionally agree on things. All that and we catch up with each other on what we've been up to and more.
