Mike, Amanda, and Brian sit down in the Podcast Oubliette to talk about some of the dozens of recent campaign parties, the pros and cons of open primaries, flashbacks to petition season nightmares, whether County Council should actually tell people what they're doing, the complete lack of cell phone reception at the Government Center in Media, discover Mike's absolutely psychotic mad scientist laugh at 38:42 of the show, correct a thing they got extremely wrong, take an uncharacteristically serious round of What Did Millennials Kill This Week, shoutout our dentists, and evaluate Final Fantasy's battle system.

Mike, Amanda, and Pasquale sit down to discuss celebrities having opinions, Congress starting to look a little bit like America, how one very specific military family is coping with Trump's government shutdown, basic middle school civics, the Delco Republican Party's new chairman failing upward, whether Speaker Pelosi has us in her AirPods, jokes specifically directed at single individuals, and Mike's hair. Then, Brian tags in to tell a few military stories, talk about using "West West Philly" as a dog whistle, discuss What Did Millennials Kill This Week, learn things about Pasquale that we can't unlearn, refine the difference between Delco and Delaware County, gain a healthy fear and respect for the sea, discover the subplot of the entire podcast, and just generally go completely off the rails for like 40 minutes.

Mike, Pasquale, and Michel sit down for the last time in 2018 to talk about the best, worst, busiest, and most absurd moments of the year, go over one of the infinite reasons that no-bid 911 services contract was a bad idea, tell Mike who's actually running for office in Delco, and avoid giving the residents of Chester any more unwanted advice. Then, Amanda joins the crew for discussions about what we hope Millennials kill in 2019, where they hide the IT department in the state capitol, electric car racing, and the Philly Young Dems' slaying their Insta game.

Mike, Amanda, and Michel sit down for a conversation about the local elections coming up in 2019, what a State Representative's office actually does, how to get people the help they need, what we're going to do with our $25 tax cut, respond to Councilman Brian Zidek's statement on Delco's Corruption Tax, and remember former Delaware County Democratic Chair Cliff Wilson. Plus, we have another increasingly inaccurate conversation about What Did Millennials Kill This Week?, everyone talks about how hungry they are for 20 minutes, we reveal the unspeakable things Brian does to mozzarella sticks, and Amanda rolls for initiative.

Mike, Amanda, and Pasquale sit down for a conversation about the November 6th election, voter turnout vs. voter suppression, the cost of living in Washington DC, and vodka neat. Then, "honorary" Young Democrat Brian talks about the Delco Dems Veterans' Caucus and how he's chosen to continue his service, we have kind of a dark conversation about what millennials did and did not kill this week, Mike invites the audience to his wake, and Pasquale accidentally stumbles upon his life's passion.

Mike and Amanda sit down with Gwen McCullough from the Haverford Democrats and Delco Young Dems, to talk about the Delco Coalition for Prison Reform, and how she balances activism with electoral politics. Then, the gang discusses Scott Wagner's seriously concerning public meltdown, township employees caught on camera, "What Did Millennials Kill This Week?", the strength of Delaware County's yard sign game, whether rock bottom actually exists in 2018, and plumbing gone terribly, terribly wrong. Mike's macaroni and cheese recipe is in a Google Doc here. Music: "Generation to Generation" by Tinmouth, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US
