Kevin Kamps, radioactive waste watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, discusses efforts to simply get the US government to follow its own laws and prevent dangerous nuclear waste from being stored in inadequate facilities.

Kei Pritsker, journalist with BreakThrough News, joins Misfit hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to discuss the way homeless people are pushed out of public areas but not offered other refuge, the use of “technical” parole violations to feed the carceral system and the secret pollution of some major public transportation systems. He also gets into the US relationship with China and the China-UK media spat.
Attorney and advisor to Students for Sensible Drug Policy Mike Liszewski talks about the haphazard evolution of marijuana law and policy, and how inconsistencies leave businesses vulnerable.

The Misfits also talk unemployment numbers, Larry Flynt, and the American hero who took on AT&T.
