From Andy Griffith to ACAB - Facing the issues with Alton Police Chief Jarrett Ford

from Sunken Press · host Cory Davenport and Nicole Gory

We put away our ACAB cards to get to know one of the city's most major stakeholders - our police chief. We dive into topics like gun violence, downtown rowdiness, ICE raids, SWAT raids, and the militarization of modern police. We were surprised by many of his answers. In fact, we walked away with a lesson in civics as well as a newfound understanding of an institution we view with extreme suspicion. Anyways, whether you wave the thin blue line or scream along with N.W.A., we're sure you'll learn something from this to help you love and hate the police from a more informed perspective. This one is a MUST WATCH!

Totes Recall Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden Human memory is flawed and we're here to prove it. On Totes Recall, our hosts Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden discuss the intricate details of a popular film. The catch? It's been years since they've watched it. Listen as they attempt to recap the plot, pull the names of secondary characters, and make bets whether a vat of acid appears at any point in the film. At halftime, they press the pause button, watch the film and return with answers. Did they nail it? Or, more likely, did they forget the entire second half of the movie? Listen and play along.
