Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jess Janz On What She Learned From Having Dinner With 1000 Strangers
Q: Where did Dinner With Strangers come from and what was the initial format?
It started in 2017 when Jess and Ryan opened up their spaces, banned discussing work, and used a box of 30 questions to guide conversations, allowing strangers to connect through shared stories.
Roger Waters & Mona Miari: Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined
Q: How did you two come together for this project?
A short backstory emerged from a failed documentary project and Mona's invitation to contribute music; their shared political stance and musical chemistry led to a collaborative reimagining of Comfortably Numb as a vehicle for human rights advocacy.
Misan Harriman on Waltzing With Immortality, the Downfall of Empire, and Shoot the People
Q: What role do images play in shaping public perception of Palestine and empire?
Images function as enduring proof points of resistance and humanity; they have the power to expose empire, mobilize support, and keep the conversation alive beyond immediate news cycles.
Misan Harriman on Waltzing With Immortality, the Downfall of Empire, and Shoot the People
Q: How do you balance the urgency of documenting oppression with the personal risks involved?
Harriman emphasizes bearing witness as a moral obligation, arguing that showing up and recording is essential, even when it endangers the photographer, because the work will outlive us and inform future generations.
Julian Brave Noisecat: Surviving the Night, Becoming a Father, and Faith
Q: Can you give us a quick 30-second on the Coyote stories and why they anchor your work?
The Coyote stories frame the book as a blended memoir and journalism piece, using centuries of trickster narratives to explore Indigenous history, environment, and identity, while also answering how these myths can inform present-day truth-telling and healing.
