  • Talking About the Mix of Politics and Media with Filmmaker - Sara Alessandrini

    Talking About the Mix of Politics and Media with Filmmaker - Sara Alessandrini
    Jan 9 2026
    Sara Alessandrini is an Italian filmmaker and social commentator based in Los Angeles, and the creator of the docuseries "This Is What New Yorkers Say". The series examines the resignation of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, exploring media coverage and conversations with everyday New Yorkers, while raising broader questions about politics, society, and public discourse.

    Over the past five years, Sara has closely followed New York politics and the events surrounding Cuomo’s resignation. In 2021, a few months after his resignation, she traveled across New York State to hear firsthand what residents thought about the situation and how the Democratic Party and media handled it.

    Through "This Is What New Yorkers Say", Sara offers critical insight into how society engages with complex issues, questions the limits of movements like #MeToo in truly empowering people, and examines the consequences of a culture where due process is inconsistently applied—inviting audiences to reflect more deeply on politics, media, and the narratives that shape our world.

  • At the Crossroads - Lessons from 2025 and the Uncertain Path to 2026

    At the Crossroads - Lessons from 2025 and the Uncertain Path to 2026
    Dec 27 2025
    Billy Dees with Guest CoHost Cynthia Elliott

    In this episode, the conversation ranged widely across some of the biggest cultural, technological, and political shifts shaping our moment. Billy and Cynthia explored the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for jobs, human purpose, and the future of work, while also touching on broader concerns about the planet and the possibility of major technological and energy breakthroughs that could reshape civilization.

    The discussion expanded into questions of consciousness—whether emerging technologies might change how we understand the human mind itself—and how a new space race is reigniting global competition, innovation, and ambition beyond Earth.

    On the cultural front, the program examined the growing divide between so-called “red pill” toxic masculinity and a healthier model of men grounded in emotional intelligence, accountability, and balance. The toll of social media was another major theme, with burnout, privacy erosion, and digital overload raising serious questions about how connected society should be.

    Politically, the discussion took a critical look at the Democratic Party’s current state of disarray and messaging struggles. The episode wrapped with an analysis of Hollywood and celebrity culture, questioning whether stars still hold the influence they once did as audiences grow increasingly skeptical, fragmented, and disengaged.

  • Andrea LeDew - "Polemics - Political Poems and Prose"

    Andrea LeDew - "Polemics - Political Poems and Prose"
    Dec 5 2025
    Andrea LeDew is a Jacksonville, Florida–based writer and poet who has spent more than thirty years immersed in literature, language, law, and homeschooling. She is the author of Polemics: Political Poems & Prose, a ten-year collection covering major events in American politics from 2016 through early 2025. Her website For Random Learning Comes has been active for a decade, and her poetry has appeared in multiple literary magazines. She has also participated in regional literary events such as Jax by Jax and the St. Augustine Poet Fest. Beyond poetry, she is currently working on a novel featuring a disabled main character, drawing from her experiences as a caregiver.

    During the podcast, Andrea discussed how Polemics is organized and what inspired its structure—each piece is paired with a brief introduction explaining the political moment that sparked it. She talked about the various hot-button issues the collection addresses and why she felt compelled to include them. Andrea also explained who she believes would benefit most from reading the book, such as people interested in recent political history or those seeking to reflect on America’s turbulent past decade. Finally, she shared how her own political beliefs have evolved over the years and how that evolution is reflected throughout the collection.
