With just 50 days until a US election that Americans on all sides see as an existential struggle, local writer and podcaster Johan Moreno discusses with me the nuances of being a "moderate millennial" caught in the middle of a political spectrum of far-left and far-right ideologies in the United States. Johan and I also discuss our former lives as print journalists in Orange County and the best spots to eat in LA, OC, and IE.

Correction: I discussed my Salvadoran family's history with the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) and accidentally said "FMLA." While the Family Medical Leave Act is a progressive bill that also has revolutionary roots, it is not quite the acronym I meant to say.
