Ep 196 // American Insurrection
J. McVay and Joe Virgillito discuss events that have developed since November. Needless to say, there’s a lot to cover–from the various attempts by the sitting President of the United States to overturn a legitimate election up through this week’s two US Senate races in Georgia and the the storming of the Capitol in Washington DC by supporters of Donald Trump unhappy as Congress was in session to certify the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden.
Plus music from artists Erin Frisby and Gold Connections, both recorded exclusively for BTRtoday, toward the end of the show.
