About this listen

Represent More is a podcast about power — who has it, who doesn’t, and what happens when accountability disappears.


Hosted by Ryan and Shireen Clarkson, founding partners of Clarkson, one of the leading nationwide public interest law firms, the show pulls back the curtain on the systems that quietly shape our lives: healthcare, AI and technology, workplaces, consumer markets, and the legal structures meant to protect everyday people. They share lived experiences both in the courtroom and outside of it: unsafe products, deceptive practices, unchecked corporate behavior, and real harm that too often goes unanswered.


Each episode blends candid conversation with hard-won insight from decades of consumer and civil litigation. Ryan and Shireen share what they’re working on (to the extent they can), what they’re seeing in the world, and how powerful interests are evolving faster than the mechanisms designed to hold them accountable. Along the way, they explore what it actually means to “represent more” — more people, more truth, more courage, and more pressure on systems that benefit from silence.


This podcast isn’t legal advice.


It’s transparent, values-driven, and grounded in the real consequences faced by consumers, workers, and families every day. It’s for the outsiders, the believers, and anyone who understands that justice doesn’t move on its own — it moves when people demand it.


If you’ve ever felt like harm has been normalized, like power goes unchecked, or like your voice doesn’t matter in systems built to exclude you — this show is for you.


This is Represent More. We’re glad you’re here.

    Episode 1: Privatized Profits, Socialized Harms — AI, Social Media, ICE & the Fight for Accountability

    Welcome to the very first episode of Represent More, a podcast from We Are Them Media.

    Hosts Ryan Clarkson and Shireen Clarkson — married partners and founders of one of the nation's leading public interest law firms — pull back the curtain on the world of consumer protection, class actions, and holding powerful interests accountable.

    In this inaugural conversation, they dive into the issues dominating headlines — and courtrooms — including:

    • The truth behind “AI layoffs” and whether Big Tech is using artificial intelligence (AI) as a pretext to cut costs
    • "AI washing," false advertising, and their lawsuit against Apple over the iPhone 16’s promised AI capabilities
    • The real harms of artificial intelligence — from job displacement to healthcare denials to suicide-coaching chatbots
    • Section 230 immunity and why social media platforms avoid accountability while amplifying misinformation
    • Spain and other countries criminalizing harmful algorithms — and why the U.S. hasn’t followed suit
    • The difference between administrative and judicial warrants — and what you need to know about your constitutional rights
    • A heartbreaking real-world story of ICE detention that puts policy into human perspective

    Throughout the episode, Ryan and Shireen explore a central theme:

    Corporations often privatize profits while socializing harms.

    From Big Tobacco to Big Oil to Big Tech, the pattern repeats — and public interest law exists to rebalance the scales.

    Represent More is about demystifying complex legal issues, empowering ordinary people with knowledge, and giving voice to those impacted by corporate and governmental overreach.

    If you care about accountability, constitutional rights, and understanding how power really operates behind the scenes — this podcast is for you.
