  • Outstanding!

    I just listened for the first time to your 16 April episode with Jasmine Crockett & Heather Cox Richardson, 2 of my absolute favorite political figures. I’m left feeling more hopeful than I have in quite some time. I’m also more knowledgeable than I was before I listened to this episode. Thank you! I’ll be hearing a lot more of you!

Stop the Surveillance (with Erin Stockdale and Dave Thomas)
Q: And then I also want to get into your insane, incredible research that you have been doing. But how did you get into this? Why are you here?

The Truth About Conversion Therapy (with survivor Drew Amstutz)
Q: Drew, can you share a little bit about your story and what you went through during conversion therapy?
Drew recounts coming out at 15, being sent to conversion therapy by conservative parents, the weekly sessions with an older therapist who tried to change his orientation, the harassment and manipulation, and the lasting impact on his mental health and family relationships.
How To Beat Burnout (with Amelia Nagoski)
Q: How do we define burnout and can we see it coming before it lands in a hospital?
Burnout is the experience of being overwhelmed and exhausted while still worried you're not doing enough; signs can appear in advance, and recognizing them depends on one's ability to notice internal emotional states, which varies by individual and context.
Get Off The Doomsday Express (with Holli Holliday)
Q: What evidence supports the idea that Black women win everywhere, not just in majority Black districts?
Holli points to the organization's report showing Black women winning across diverse locales—urban, rural, small towns—and emphasizes pre-election community engagement and authentic leadership as the drivers.
