  <itunes:subtitle>Vicky Psarakis joins the podcast to speak about the political state of the country following the 2024 US Presidential Election, and together we speak about how the goals of the American people are more aligned than many believe. Vicky, as evidenced by her lyricism in her newest project Sicksense, is no stranger to writing about the common goals and enemies that should be focused on in society, and I very much appreciated having her point of view and discussing how recent events tie into the lyrics of her past and present. Sicksense's new album "Cross Me Twice" is out now</itunes:subtitle>
