    Challenging the Narrative: Addressing Veteran Suicide, Political Transparency, and Censorship
    Dec 13 2025

    I decided to go live yesterday to talk through a few topics I’ve been thinking about lately and some recent news. That included the Sean Ryan and Crenshaw situation and questions around censorship and accountability, the release of new Epstein related photos by the House Oversight Committee, ongoing concerns about veteran suicide and failures within the VA system, and the role of media figures like Bari Weiss in shaping and shutting down public narratives.

    Episode 2: Science, Cannabis & Policy with Halle Tarvin MS, MA
    May 5 2025

    A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk with Halle Tarvin, a PhD candidate in cultural anthropology at SMU whose work focuses on how people with mental health conditions use psychoactive plants as therapeutic tools. She's involved in academic research, currently working on an NIMH-funded project on early psychosis and substance use, and also plays a key role in cannabis advocacy as the Director of Research and Analysis for the Texas Cannabis Collective. I reached out to her because she sits right at the intersection of science, policy, and lived experience, and I wanted to explore how cannabis use, mental health, and legislation collide, especially here in Texas. This conversation opened up a lot of necessary questions about stigma, education, and where we go from here.
