A lot has happened since Adam Gogola was on the podcast two years ago.  Adam talks to Will about how the pandemic changed the release plan for his band's newest album An Act of Desperation which is now available, participating in Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd's death, the failures of capitalism, how working with others in your community is going to be the way forward because no one is coming to your rescue, his upcoming tour opening for The Bouncing Souls and Pizza.
