We're imagining a Gotham without police, prisons, and perhaps even Batman. By challenging traditional systems of punishment, we imagine stories rooted in resilience over retribution and justice over punishment. Keep up with the show wherever you listen to your podcasts.

<p>IT'S A CHRISTMAS EPISODE, Y'ALL! That means- Keaton's Greetings to you, and you, and you, and YOU!</p> <p>We're headed deep into the sewers beneath Gotham City to uncover not only the Christmas spirit, but the dirty politics that keep billionaires on top and penguins on the bottom. 30 years ago, Tim Burton released Batman Returns (1992) and the film now serves as an eerie prediction of elections seasons past (2016 and 2020, specifically) and a Christmas movie. Won't you come on a batmobile ride with us through the snowy scene that is Gotham at Christmastime?</p> <p>We are joined in conversation by the one and only Christopher Rhodes who is a political science scholar and lecturer at Boston University and Harvard University. Christopher is also an author and recently published the first issue to his comic, TEN, that is a sci-fi political thriller with superheroes! Christopher has been listening to our show since the very beginning and we cannot be more excited to bring him on to discuss the commonalities between characters like Max Shreck (played by Christopher Walken) and DJT. You can find Christopher on Twitter and Instagram at ten_comics.</p> <p>Outro: "East Meets West" by Rex Mac</p>

<p>Come one, come all to the wonderful world of the one and only Harley Quinn! Although Harley might have started out as a sidekick to her former paramour, The Joker, she's cemented herself in the spotlight of the DC canon. Formerly Harleen Quinzel (that's "Dr." Harleen Quinzel to you, puddin'!), Harley knows how to kick butts and take names. In tonight's episode, we discuss Harley's path from clown princess of Gotham to everyone's favorite anti-hero. We're interviewing another special guest, Alice Quinn Rose, who is a multi-talented writer of both comics and screen to discuss Harley's road to redemption. What can Harley teach us about taking accountability and righting past wrongs? You'll just have to listen to the episode and find out! </p> <p>P.S. Minor spoilers from HBO's animated series, Harley Quinn!</p> <p>Outro: "Your Girl" by Oompa</p>

<p>We're back and badder than ever! Dakotah and Yuuki come face to face with Gotham’s legal system, taking a deep dive into the psyche of the handsome district attorney Harvey “Apollo” Dent, also known as Two Face. Dakotah walks us through the (immense) power district attorneys have in our criminal legal system, leaving defendants' fates up to the toss of a coin. This episode, we invite Chris O’Connor, comic enthusiast and public defense attorney based in Portland, OR, to discuss all things district attorneys--both real and fictional--and their two-faced tactics in court. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Outro: “Richocet Syllables” by Mr. Lif</p>
