  • Great Listen… Never Miss

    Love this podcast, try to never miss one. 1 idea that would be interesting …. Having a specific counter discussion with 2 guests. Example Peter L and someone who thinks the nation’s debt is a problem. I think it would be great discussion and Mr Walker could intelligently steer the conversation. Thank you for work you do in putting this together.

  • Top Notch Program - we are blessed to have it!!

    It is inspiring to listen to and receive an unbiased dialogue between Willy and the amazing guests he has on the WD podcasts. What a gift and reprieve from the majority of news and educational programs that are spewing propaganda and narratives driven by their or their bosses/owners agenda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeffrey Rosen, Bestselling Author of Pursuit of Liberty
Q: Are we truly upholding the Declaration's commitments 250 years after its signing?
Rosen suggests that while we have fallen short in many areas, the Declaration remains a lodestar guiding inclusion and equal rights, and the work is ongoing as we strive to expand the circle of who counts as We the People.
Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard Psychiatrist, Researcher, and Author
Q: What are the real-world barriers to adopting ketogenic therapy for mental illness, such as cost, access, or insurance coverage?
Barriers include lack of insurance coverage for dietitians, limited clinician training, and the need for structured support systems; however, ongoing research, clinical trials, and successful case reports are helping build the case for broader adoption and reimbursement.
Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard Psychiatrist, Researcher, and Author
Q: What is the mechanism by which the ketogenic diet could impact psychosis or schizophrenia.
Ketosis and the metabolic shifts it causes can alter neurotransmitter activity, reduce brain inflammation, and improve mitochondrial health, potentially leading to reductions in hallucinations and delusions over time, especially when combined with other supportive measures and monitoring.
Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard Psychiatrist, Researcher, and Author
Q: So if you will talk for a moment about first, what is the ketogenic diet?
The ketogenic diet is low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and high in fat; it induces ketosis, which changes brain metabolism and can reduce inflammation, improve insulin signaling, and support mitochondrial function—foundational mechanisms that may translate to benefits for mental illnesses.
Phil Washington, CEO of Denver International Airport
Q: What brought you to the transportation sector?
Philip Washington describes the move as a fortunate outcome of an almost serendipitous interview after his army career, recognizing how his logistics and leadership experience aligned with the public-private nature of transportation and the capacity to mobilize people around shared goals.
