    This week Dain is out of town, but - learning from our mistakes in season 1 - we have a special offering from our Patreon made available to all: Our First Bad Theory Thursday (BTT). In our BTT we discuss the lay-perspective of political economy and the implications it has locally, nationally, and globally. Please enjoy this episode and we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.
