Out d'Coup | Episode 7

On today's episode of Out d'Coup, we talk about Pennsylvania's historical move to pass medical marijuana legislation over the weekend. We talk about the amazing work of the activists who made it happen and what's next up in the fight for decriminalization.

We also talk about today's New York State primaries and look ahead to next week's Pennsylvania's primary. It's a packed show!

Out d'Coup | Episode 6

Today on Out d'Coup we get an update from Sean Kitchen on the status of the anti-abortion bill, HB 1948, and hear about how thin-skinned those tough-talking right-wing politicians are.

We hear that Cecil Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, came to Harrisburg to help put and end to PA Republican attempts to institute the most restrictive abortion bans in the country. We wonder why we didn't get more of a strong, public mobilization from PA's Democratic Party leadership.

Plus, we'll hear about recent trips to Saucony Creek Brewery and Gastropub in Kutztown and Forest and Main's fourth anniversary party in Ambler.

Out d'Coup | Episode 5

On today's episode, Sean Kitchen returns from his Easter carb coma to report on the latest right-wing attack on women's rights in PA: HB 1948 - the forced-birthing bill. This bill could make it to the floor for a vote in the PA house as soon as tomorrow. And don't think that all Democrats are going to stand with women on this one.

In our closing segment we talk about Villanova's amazing at-the-buzzer win in last nights Men's NCAA basketball final, while Kevin holds out hope for a Syracuse women's win in tonight's NCAA women's basketball final.

We'll leave all talk of today's Wisconsin primaries to the interwebs.

Out d'Coup | Episode 4

Today, Kevin Mahoney goes at it solo to try to get to the bottom of the mystery: "Where is Sean Kitchen?" Easter bunny accident? Drowning in sours at Forest and Main? We'll find out.

Then we turn to attempts to reintroduce huge tuition increases for students at PA State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) universities. You betcha. Can we get a 16% increase? Do I hear 20%?

We'll also talk about activists converging on Senator Toomey's office to demand that he does his job by holding hearings Merrick Garland, Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court. Later we'll discuss what John Fetterman's run to be PA's next Senator might mean for PA politics down the road.
