We have some pretty exciting news to share this morning: Pretty Furious has officially joined The Siren! We are delighted to be joining a creator-led, female-founded network dedicated to fighting fascism and preserving democracy, and believe this work is crucial, now more than ever.
On this week’s episode, Mallory Hagan and Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett bring on their first male guest, Chad DuBois of the He's Not Wrong Podcast.
This episode dives into the work Chad has been doing to uncover the injustices of Alabama Power, the state's largest power company. They also discuss what’s next for Democrats in America, how this moment in history is a pivotal turning point for our elected officials, and how your public service commission may impact your wallet. They also briefly touch on Chad’s distaste for the ongoing “return to 2016” trend making its way across your FYP.
