    S6 E33: Fair Play, Cancel Culture & Paying Your Dues

    Exercise your free speech, click to send John Q a text! This week, we’re hitting three stories where sports, culture, controversy, and the court of public opinion collide. 🏀 WNBA, Politics & Fairness in Women’s Sports The controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham continues, along with the larger debate over transgender participation in women’s sports. We look at the WNBPA’s criticism of politicizing the league—and ask whether that position rings hollow when the WNBA has embraced political and social causes in the past. 🎭 Geno Segers, Hadestown & Cancel Culture Geno Segers is out of Broadway’s Hadestown following backlash over past social media comments. He apologized—but was it accountability, or another example of a culture where an apology is no longer enough? We examine the difference between consequences and cancellation. 🤼 Cody Rhodes Defends AJ Styles’ Son When 19-year-old Avery Styles was criticized for not helping set up a GCW event, AJ Styles fired back—and Cody Rhodes offered perhaps the best perspective of all: “He already set up the fn’ chairs.” We break down why Cody’s defense gets it right and why “paying your dues” doesn’t look the same for everyone. Three stories. Three debates. And plenty to talk about. #JohnQPodcast #WNBA #SophieCunningham #GenoSegers #CodyRhodes #WWE The John Q Podcast can be found on the following platforms: Buzzsprout: https://thejohnqpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Podpage: www.podpage.com/TheJQPApple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/4fk86wabSpotify Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5cehs62cI Heart Radio: https://tinyurl.com/afpcdda3Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/ft2b6a8vCastro: https://tinyurl.com/njm86u3tPodcast Addict:https://tinyurl.com/2p9b79zcPodchaser: https://tinyurl.com/2p9eupprPlayer.FM: https://tinyurl.com/4John Q. is a common, average American who stands up for free speech for everyone and against woke cancel culture!

    S6 E32: Middle Ground, Fair Play & SummerSlam

    Exercise your free speech, click to send John Q a text! This week on The John Q Podcast, John Q takes on three of the biggest conversations making headlines—from the future of American politics to one of the most debated issues in sports, before wrapping up with a full review of WWE’s biggest event of the summer. Speaking as a girl dad, John examines the ongoing debate over transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. Focusing on science, competitive fairness, and the perspectives of female athletes, he explores why this issue continues to resonate with so many families and competitors. Next, John looks at the growing divide within the Democratic Party. As Democratic Socialists continue to push ambitious proposals like Medicare for All and free college, are mainstream Democrats becoming more focused on defeating Donald Trump than appealing to the political middle? What could this internal battle mean for the party and the country moving forward? To close the show, John reviews WWE SummerSlam 2026. After a lackluster build, did WWE deliver when it mattered most? He breaks down both nights, shares his match highlights, grades the event, and discusses the biggest moments that set the stage for the road the rest of 2026 in WWE. Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts on this week’s topics. #TheJohnQPodcast #Politics #WomensSports #WWE #SummerSlam #CurrentEvents The John Q Podcast can be found on the following platforms: Buzzsprout: https://thejohnqpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Podpage: www.podpage.com/TheJQPApple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/4fk86wabSpotify Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5cehs62cI Heart Radio: https://tinyurl.com/afpcdda3Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/ft2b6a8vCastro: https://tinyurl.com/njm86u3tPodcast Addict:https://tinyurl.com/2p9b79zcPodchaser: https://tinyurl.com/2p9eupprPlayer.FM: https://tinyurl.com/4John Q. is a common, average American who stands up for free speech for everyone and against woke cancel culture!

    S6 E31: Taking The Fifth, Terror & Title Matches

    Exercise your free speech, click to send John Q a text! 🇺🇸 The John Q Podcast | Americans, Accountability & SummerSlam This week on The John Q Podcast, we’re asking the questions many Americans are afraid to ask. 🔹 Anthony Fauci Pleads the Fifth – After invoking the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times before Congress, what does it mean for public trust, COVID accountability, and the families of healthcare workers who sacrificed everything during the pandemic? 🔹 When Did Supporting America’s Enemies Become Acceptable? – With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 just weeks away, we discuss the disturbing rise in sympathy for Iran and other terrorist organizations, and why the memory of those lost on September 11 deserves respect—not political theater. 🔹 WWE SummerSlam Preview – The biggest party of the summer is here! We break down the card, predict the biggest matches, and discuss the stories that could reshape WWE heading into the fall. Three topics. Three very different conversations. One common theme: standing up for accountability, common sense, and the values that make America worth defending. 🎙️ New episode available now. #JohnQPodcast #FirstAmendment #COVID19 #AnthonyFauci #NeverForget #911 #WWE #SummerSlam The John Q Podcast can be found on the following platforms: Buzzsprout: https://thejohnqpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Podpage: www.podpage.com/TheJQPApple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/4fk86wabSpotify Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5cehs62cI Heart Radio: https://tinyurl.com/afpcdda3Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/ft2b6a8vCastro: https://tinyurl.com/njm86u3tPodcast Addict:https://tinyurl.com/2p9b79zcPodchaser: https://tinyurl.com/2p9eupprPlayer.FM: https://tinyurl.com/4John Q. is a common, average American who stands up for free speech for everyone and against woke cancel culture!

    S6 E28: The Constitution, Common Sense & Championships

    Exercise your free speech, click to send John Q a text! Freedom isn’t always comfortable—but it’s always worth defending. This week, John Q tackles three of today’s biggest conversations: 🔹 Should America have national firearm laws, or should we better honor the Second Amendment and recognize the rights of lawful gun owners across state lines? 🔹 Has the Democratic Party lost the legacy of John F. Kennedy, and is it time for a return to a party built on individual liberty, opportunity, and common sense? 🔹 Plus, a look at the current state of WWE—from its unprecedented success to what’s working, what’s not, and where the industry goes from here. No scripts from political parties. No corporate talking points. Just thoughtful discussion, constitutional principles, and the belief that the First Amendment still matters. Join the conversation. Challenge your assumptions. Think for yourself. 🎙️ The John Q Podcast — Because free speech isn’t just a right… it’s a responsibility. #TheJohnQPodcast #FirstAmendment #Constitution #SecondAmendment #WWE #FreeSpeech The John Q Podcast can be found on the following platforms: Buzzsprout: https://thejohnqpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Podpage: www.podpage.com/TheJQPApple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/4fk86wabSpotify Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5cehs62cI Heart Radio: https://tinyurl.com/afpcdda3Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/ft2b6a8vCastro: https://tinyurl.com/njm86u3tPodcast Addict:https://tinyurl.com/2p9b79zcPodchaser: https://tinyurl.com/2p9eupprPlayer.FM: https://tinyurl.com/4John Q. is a common, average American who stands up for free speech for everyone and against woke cancel culture!

    S6 E27: Emergency Services Shortages, an Aging Grid and Night of Champions.

    Exercise your free speech, click to send John Q a text! This week, we’re looking beyond the headlines at issues that affect millions of Americans every day—but often don’t get the attention they deserve. First, we’re asking a simple but important question: Who’s going to answer the 911 call? Emergency service agencies across the country are facing growing staffing shortages, from volunteer fire departments to EMS and law enforcement. We’ll discuss what’s driving the crisis, why it matters to every community, and what can be done before response times become a much bigger problem. Then, we’ll turn our attention to America’s aging electric grid. We depend on electricity every minute of every day, but can the infrastructure keep up with growing demand, extreme weather, cybersecurity threats, and the rapid expansion of AI and data centers? We’ll take a closer look at why this issue deserves far more attention than it gets. And of course, we’ll wrap things up with a review of WWE Night of Champions. From the biggest matches and championship implications to the moments everyone will be talking about, we’ll break down what worked, what didn’t, and what it all means as WWE continues its road toward SummerSlam. It’s another episode focused on the stories that matter—even if they aren’t leading the evening news. Join me, John Q, The 1A Advocate, for another thought-provoking episode of the John Q Podcast. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share the show, because informed conversations are where great ideas begin. #JohnQPodcast #FirstAmendment #EmergencyServices #ElectricGrid #WWENightOfChampions The John Q Podcast can be found on the following platforms: Buzzsprout: https://thejohnqpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Podpage: www.podpage.com/TheJQPApple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/4fk86wabSpotify Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5cehs62cI Heart Radio: https://tinyurl.com/afpcdda3Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/ft2b6a8vCastro: https://tinyurl.com/njm86u3tPodcast Addict:https://tinyurl.com/2p9b79zcPodchaser: https://tinyurl.com/2p9eupprPlayer.FM: https://tinyurl.com/4John Q. is a common, average American who stands up for free speech for everyone and against woke cancel culture!
