Sam is back from his hiatus for this special episode with Natasha Lennard, journalist, educator, Friend and comrade. The day after Trump re-ascends to the helm of the federal government, the Party Girls team teases out just what collective political wisdom led to a categorically different protest response to Trump’s inauguration this go around. 2017’s inauguration was marked by a massive black bloc protest, but the one this week saw dozens of smaller convergences around the country focused on community-building and activating more localized responses to Trump's deportation machine.

What role does journalism actually hold in making the world a better place? What brings us hope in this grim political moment? Should Antifa make a comeback? All this and more in this week's episode.

Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard, Party Girls is a conversation that blends sharp political analysis with the intimate, connective tissue of gossip. Jamie, known for her work on The Majority Report and other leftist commentary, teams up with Sam, a Chicago-based organizer, to create a space where theory meets the messy reality of daily life. The discussions here aren't dry lectures; they're lively, often funny, and deeply human, weaving together perspectives from news, music, and culture through a specific lens. You'll hear them dissect current events and political structures with the same earnest curiosity they apply to sharing stories and personal reflections. This podcast operates on the idea that the personal is political and the political can be surprisingly personal, finding the threads of collective struggle and joy in unexpected places. It’s a mix of thoughtful critique and casual, comedic rapport that makes complex ideas feel accessible and urgent. Tune in for a unique fusion of perspectives that challenges how we think about community, power, and the stories we tell each other.
