Politics? In MY One Piece? Sounds fake, but we figured we’d check with Kat Abughazaleh, a former journalist and current Congressional candidate for Illinois District Il-09. We also ask her about her relationship with fiction, the necessity of protest and political activism, and the role of One Piece in the current cultural climate. Apolitically.
Featuring special guests GolferGareBear (TikTok sensation) Kirsten Carey (vocalist and guitarist for Throwaway, and writer at The Mary Sue, Polygon and many others) and Dr. Raylene Bentlin (Cultural Anthropologist and One Piece scholar)!
