I Disagree: A conversation with Jessica Tarlov
Sep 15, 2026One of the things I’m known for is getting into it with right-wingers on CNN roundtables, but the OG woman of distinction who does this so beautifully, is Jessica Tarlov on Fox's roundtable show The Five. I’m having Jessica on to talk about this moment in history, but also how we talk about it without losing our minds. Her new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments without Losing Friends, is exactly what I think we need not only in the next couple of months, but in the next couple of years. It’s...

Find Hope While Not Ignoring Reality: A conversation with Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman
Sep 8, 2026Are you feeling completely overwhelmed? Did you read that UN report about the climate, or you watching how badly the war is going, or afraid to eat anything in America right now? Are you worried your vote is going to be stolen in the midterms or horrified about what’s happening at the detention camps or with the economy, and it’s all making you want to shut down, pull the covers over your head, or do retail therapy but you also don’t have any money…Yeah, you’re not alone. So join me and Skye...

Survivor’s Guide to Earth: A Conversation with Matthew Cooke
Sep 1, 2026It’s not our fault we feel helpless and isolated in this broken world. That’s by design. We’re the victims of the greatest information war in history - from our media model to our education system - and the antidote is to dive into the tools that created civilization in the first place. Ethics, philosophy, shared history, morality, cooperation. That we already have all the answers - all the proven solutions - to the problems at hand. We just can’t continue to allow the corporations to silence...

Save the Teachers. Save the World: A Conversation with Dr. Jen Rafferty
Aug 25, 2026As we go back to school, we’ve got to remember teachers are the soil we plant our children in for 8 hours a day, so while the emotional well-being of teachers might seem like some “woke” talking point, stressed or burned out teachers actually directly shape the emotional and developmental well-being of our children in their formative years, and what happens to a society when the adults responsible for educating and emotionally regulating the next generation are just operating in survival...

Last Line of Defense: A Conversation with California Attorney General Rob Bonta
Aug 18, 2026The Attorney General’s job is to enforce the laws on behalf of their people, and state Attorney Generals are even more essential now that we have a federal Attorney general who’s made it clear he doesn’t work for the people, but for the president. AG Bonta reminds us that lawsuits aren’t about slapping lawbreakers on the wrist, but structural remedies that make the law work better for the people. Among other things, we discuss the lawsuit blocking the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner...

We Don't Believe You: A Conversation with Anne Applebaum
Aug 11, 2026There are plenty of groups that see this drastic change in the American political system as something that can work for them. If the goal is power, or retained power, everyone from white and christian nationalists, to the billionaire class, the patriarchy and the predators have found their champion in the Trump administration. If everything is for sale and no institution is sacred, they an do whatever they want, and if Republican congress members are simply going to abdicate their...

We Can Do Better Than This
Aug 4, 2026We went away this summer and the trip reminded me that many of our peer nations live far better than we do. Not just with their universal healthcare and walkable cities, but their respected working class and work/life balance. These are cultures that break for lunch. The people have reasonable work hours and take weeks, if not a month, off in the summer. They are better stewards of the human experience. They respect what people need and truly seem to be enjoying their lives far more than us,...

Fascism isn’t New to America: A Conversation with Joseph Kelly
Jul 28, 2026America is once again in a battle over who we are and what we stand for. Does this country only belong to a privileged group, or is it for, as our Declaration Of Independence and Pledge of Allegiance tells us, for ALL of us? As Professor Joseph Kelly says, our founding fathers knowingly made concessions against what they knew to be right at our establishment, and by kicking the can of equality down the road, we have allowed fascist, top down hierarchy to continue to thrive in a nation that...

I Don’t Recognize This Country: A Conversation with John Pavlovitz
Jul 21, 2026John Pavlovitz reminds us that what’s happening in America isn’t independent of who we are. That any position of privilege we may hold in this world is a currency we must leverage on behalf of others. That while we might be grieving the country we thought we were, we have to get serious about the person we know we are to make sure our actions are in line with our values. Our values can not be our best kept secret. We need them to find our like minded communities, the ones who want to make a...

States Rights Baby! A Conversation with the State’s Project’s Daniel Squadron
Jul 14, 2026The power to really take back our country is most efficient, and the least expensive, through the states. We can work together with our people to flip state houses across the country so when the federal government tries to strip us of our rights, we have an strong line of defense at the state level to protect our liberties, shore up our civil rights, and make sure the seats for the federal government are drawn fairly. So many of our federal rights start, or live or die, at the state level, so...
