Act Out! podcast

Oh what a tangled web! Feeling squirrely today on this release date of my first ever documentary. Either way, we're rolling with it!

We're diving head first into the muddy waters of conflicting, contradicting emotions in order to marinate and toast despair, stop chasing happiness and more. Talking Viktor Frankl and obligations to life - and how that chafes against our programming in multiple ways.

So...suit up and let's go for a swim.

Curious instead of judgemental, like a kid with a rose...particularly in this hideous unknown, and this damned storm...

it will polish the sky so the brilliance will blind –

but I

will never be the same

PLUS, history on repeat and the multiple cities that exist in one - the stories that have been kept from us that will give us hope.

With help from Anarchist Bandits in Belle Epoque Paris.

I had a bunch of notes planned - updates on travels and new projects that I was gonna share. Best laid plans...

Welcome to the new era of Act Out! Talking through some of the craziness we're all feeling - not in a cheapened, let's om together kinda way - but in a deep, anti-capitalist way. Here we are - what does here look like, feel like - and what are folks doing, what can folks be doing - to create that light at the end of the tunnel, rather than wait for the powers-that-be to light their path with the flames of our hope?

The end of an era – a look back and a look ahead, to work that's been done, and all yet to come. It's been almost five years of Act Out! and while this chapter is ending, this book is far from written. We're gearing up for deeper dives – beyond surface headlines and rapid fire news cycles – and we want you to be a part of it. So here's to raised fists, to sit-ins and shut downs – and a lot more marching in the streets. See you on the front lines.

A special episode that looks at a grotesque statistic and asks the question – if you can judge a government by how they treat their most vulnerable and marginalized --- how more pointed is that judgement when you look at the hometown of that government? DC and the practice of condemning predominantly black mothers to death.

More than 16,000 quakes of varying sizes have hit Puerto Rico. But the real shocks come from capitalism and colonialism. In this FULL INTERVIEW, coordinators with the Mutual Help Center of Lares talk about the natural and unnatural disasters pummeling their home, and how folks are organizing to withstand them.

PLUS it's so important that we connect all of our issues to war - to the giant black hole that's sucking resources, lives and our very futures away from us.
