  • Summary

  • The Sam and Derik Show is political debate as you've never heard it before. Two best friends in Juneau Alaska hailing from opposite ends of the political spectrum are doing the impossible: listening to each other. Will we solve any of the issues facing our world? No. It took weeks just to agree on the name of the show. But if two opposite sides can come together to create a podcast, maybe, just maybe, there's hope for our future yet. Get ready for hot takes and outrageous opinions!

    We're back with another enticing episode of the Sam and Derik Show. We start with an update on the 1882 shelling of the village of Angoon, Alaska. Next, we cover a rare win for environmentalists given by... Ron DeSantis? Then it's a discussion on whether "Influencers" should be treated like media which somehow strays into AI bullet vending machines. What a ride.
