Dream fans....WE ARE BACK!
We're reimagining The Dream as a weekly interview podcast with guests and segments about, I don't know.... whatever we want? Don't worry! We'll still be focused on the "American Dream" and all the assholes that make it infinitely harder to achieve. We'll just have a bit more freedom in how we present it.

In which Jane takes a train cross-country and meets an original Burning Man Burner. We were about to call this episode "Ocean Gump." Listen to understand why.

Listening to the episode titled computer love is very painful because the host and even the guest author don’t understand how ChatGPT works. We talk about it as if your particular ChatGPT has a consistent personality and you drain it overtime. But it’s not how it works. Each new session starts a new, and you are not training it to act in any sort of way. The host asked the author whether she had to rebuild everything she had built with her AI after they release the new version of ChatGPT. Please... more
I’m so sorry about your brother and everything your family has been through. Holding onto Hope for that long had to have taken a mental toll on everyone. If not hitting too close to home, I would love an episode about physician end of life care. I live in Illinois, where this bill was just passed, but worked for a Catholic organization who refuses to participate. We put our pets down because we don’t want them to suffer, but our loved ones can’t choose that for themselves? I think this topic is ... more
“I have an AI friend”
GIRL BYE.
I used to love this show and lately it feels like there are no new episodes. The reruns don’t explicitly label themselves as such, so you don’t realize you’ve already heard it till you’ve started listening already.

A thoughtful, broader-appeal interview show that covers a wide range of timely topics tied to the American Dream, from death and end-of-life care to race, culture, and socio-economic issues. Episodes often feature experts, journalists, and public-facing storytellers who unpack complex subjects—such as healthcare access, private equity impacts, faith and racism, and controversial political topics—with a mix of personal narratives and rigorous context. The format likely balances rigorous analysis with accessible storytelling, occasional humor, and a willingness to tackle provocative or taboo subjects. A standout trait is its willingness to blur boundaries between policy, culture, and personal experience, offering listeners practical takeaways... more
