  • He’s back!!!!

    Growing up in North Texas, Dale was a staple voice in my house. As I got older, I appreciated his commentary more and more. Unplugged was the best segment in a time where people were afraid to call a spade a spade. The last 3.5 years have been rough, but having Dale back brings me joy and hope for the future. He’s honest, fair, and unapologetically himself - the country would be a lot better off with more journalists like him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#16: Homelessness in Dallas and in America: a discussion with Pastor and CEO of OurCalling, Wayne Walker
Q: Where does the funding come from to run shelters and programs like this?
OurCalling is 100% privately funded, with some city reimbursements for labor during inclement weather; other groups rely heavily on government funding, but the organization itself operates without tax dollars to support core services.
#16: Homelessness in Dallas and in America: a discussion with Pastor and CEO of OurCalling, Wayne Walker
Q: Is homelessness mostly a mental health or addiction issue, or something else?
Homelessness is driven by a mix of factors, including age-related vulnerability, trauma, mental illness, addiction, and systemic issues like housing shortages; thus solutions require integrated care, housing first with ongoing support, and community-driven responses rather than blaming individuals.
#16: Homelessness in Dallas and in America: a discussion with Pastor and CEO of OurCalling, Wayne Walker
Q: What do you do when people ask for money on the street, and how should bystanders respond?
Respond to homelessness with a combination of conscience and practical action: assess needs, offer direct referrals to appropriate services via OurCalling's app, and encourage using professional help rather than giving cash, since money can enable harmful coping mechanisms; the goal is long-term care and stability, not a one-time handout.
#12: Empathy - is it still here? With Dr. Laura Robinson-Doyle
Q: What makes for effective empathy education in higher ed?
Short, eight-day immersive modules tied to hands-on outreach, followed by reflective exercises and ongoing community engagement to prevent burnout and maintain engagement.
#12: Empathy - is it still here? With Dr. Laura Robinson-Doyle
Q: Is empathy teachable in a classroom setting?
Yes, with structured, experiential learning that moves students beyond lectures to direct interaction with marginalized groups and real-world experiences; it requires curated exposure and reflection.
