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.

  • second listen!

    i will say it again. this podcast, especially the first series of episodes, takes on a subject that is more complex and multi-faceted than you'd think, and brilliantly succeeds at unpacking and vulgarizing the material. it is simply one of the most impressive podcasts i've ever listened to.

  • Miss the old days

    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts of all time but lately it’s just become random and disjointed. There’s no real journalism anymore and it’s hard to follow. Had to stop listening.

The Small Bow: God Can’t Help You Until You Get Out of the Way
Q: What is your relationship with faith and how does that influence your recovery?

The Small Bow: God Can’t Help You Until You Get Out of the Way
Q: Who's your biggest resentment and how do you deal with it?
Her honesty about resentments is tempered by ongoing work in the program; she identifies a longstanding pattern with someone close, acknowledging the hurt while emphasizing accountability and steps she takes to disengage from negative dynamics.
You, Me and CTE
Q: What are the other effects of CTE beyond cognitive decline?
CTE can manifest as severe neurobehavioral problems, addiction, aggression, and impaired executive function, with some cases showing dramatic personality changes in the 40s and beyond, influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
You, Me and CTE
Q: What happened with not getting drafted and how did that shape your career goals?
Not being drafted redirected me from NFL dreams to exploring pro wrestling, theater, and later a new purpose in studying brain injuries, which eventually led to a major shift toward public health advocacy and research.
You, Me and CTE
Q: Tell me, first of all, like how you got into playing football.
I grew up outside Chicago, got interested in football in seventh grade, and despite concerns from my mother about injuries, I pursued it through high school, eventually playing at Harvard and becoming a senior team captain before exploring other paths.
