We highly recommend you stream Friday Night Lights on Prime or Paramount+ and then listen to our two #LeftistTeenDrama episodes analyzing political arcs led by Smash Williams and Tim Riggins 🏈 and look out for more from us on this iconic teen drama in LTD Season 6!

It’s One Tree Hill’s golden birthday — 23 years old on September 23! As loyal listeners of #LeftistTeenDrama know, the workplace organizing plotline in Season 2, Episode 12 inspired this podcast!

Four weeks ago, #LeftistTeenDrama held our first-ever live podcast recording! Sitting on stage at The People’s Forum in front of a crowd of loved ones and strangers as they willingly listened to me rant about teen dramas while talking with my hands, I felt so incredibly lucky.
