    Amplified: What Happens When America Exports its Culture Wars?

    I sat down with filmmaker Mike Sheridan to talk about his documentary Amplified: The Exportation of the Culture Wars. It looks at something we don’t often stop to think about. Not just what’s happening in America. But what America is doing to the rest of the world. Mike traces how our culture wars, our politics, our media habits, even our tone, are showing up in places like Ireland. And what that looks like when it lands. We talk about the Dublin riots. We talk about Trump and the permission structure he created. We talk about tech platforms, misinformation, and the slow normalization of anger. How this spreads. Why it works. And what it costs. _____ LINKS Watch on Apple TV: Amplified: The Exportation of the Culture Wars https://www.immikesheridan.com/about _____ I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

    Healing Yourself Before Raising Your Children with Dr. Terence Lester, PhD

    This conversation with Dr. Terence Lester begins with his journey from dropout to doctorate, but it quickly becomes something deeper. We talk about growing up with fear, living through trauma, and making the choice not to pass that pain on to your children. Terence shares what it means to sit on a refrigerator in protest of hunger, and why food is about more than survival. We also talk about faith, the Black church, and what it means to follow a path rooted in compassion rather than power. This is a conversation about becoming a different kind of parent, and a different kind of person. _____ LINKS From Dropout to Doctorate https://terencelester.com _____ I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

  3. Gaslighting For God: Becky Garrison on Spiritual Narcissists, MAGA, and What Comes Next

    Gaslighting For God: Becky Garrison on Spiritual Narcissists, MAGA, and What Comes Next

    In the first hour we get into spiritual narcissism, not as an abstract idea but as something that shapes real communities and does real damage. We talk about MAGA as a kind of cult identity, Trump as a case study in personality-driven power, and how prosperity gospel culture helped prepare the ground for all of it. We also get into religious trauma and why, at least for me, institutional Christianity isn’t something that can be fixed from the inside. And we don’t let progressive spaces off the hook either. The same patterns show up there too, just with different language. In the second hour we stop diagnosing and start asking what now. Becky talks about why she’s still hopeful in spite of everything, and we get into the limits of satire in a culture that already feels like parody. We talk about the collapse of celebrity-driven leadership, the exhaustion people feel with national politics, and why real change may be happening in smaller, local, less visible ways. It’s less about movements and more about relationships. Less about influence and more about staying human.

    Where Snowbirds Play: Palm Beach, Power, and the Choices That Define Us

    I sat down with Gina Goldhammer to talk about her novel Where Snowbirds Play, which is set in 1991 at what she describes as the end of the golden age of Palm Beach, a world of wealth, influence, and powerful people living inside their own closed social orbit. Let me just say this plainly. This is a terrific novel. I love it. What drew me in is not just that setting, but what happens inside it, because at the center of all that money and power is a young woman, Hannah Caulfield, who makes a decision to keep her child despite pressure from everyone around her. The book takes on big themes like pregnancy, illness, caregiving, and faith, but not as theory. It is all lived experience, and that is what makes it work. It cuts through the intellectualizing and gets to something real about love, responsibility, and the choices that define a life.

    Dr. Warren Farrell: From The Boy Crisis to Role Mate to Soulmate; Fixing Modern Relationships

    Dr. Warren Farrell: From The Boy Crisis to Role Mate to Soulmate; Fixing Modern Relationships What Men, Women, and Modern Coupling Are Getting Wrong In this candid conversation, I sit down with Dr. Warren Farrell to explore the cultural and psychological forces reshaping modern relationships. Why do couples who genuinely love each other struggle to stay in love? Why does criticism from a partner hurt so deeply? And why do defensiveness and misunderstanding so often replace real communication? And how have changing expectations between men and women complicated marriage in ways our parents and grandparents never experienced? Drawing from Warren’s groundbreaking books The Boy Crisis and Role Mate to Soulmate, we talk about the practical skills couples need to move beyond conflict and toward genuine understanding. Part cultural reflection and part relationship wisdom, this conversation is for anyone trying to build lasting love in a rapidly changing world. _____ LINKS https://warrenfarrell.com Role Mate to Soul Mate: Mastering the Art and Discipline of Love _____ I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

    “Scratch” by Kate Cohen | Why Making Things Is a Radical Act

    Writer Kate Cohen joins Frank Schaeffer to talk about her new Substack “Scratch,” a project devoted to the things we make that keep us human. From cooking and sewing to carpentry and farming, Cohen explores how working with our hands connects us to the material world and to each other. In a culture dominated by algorithms, automation, and AI, these acts of making may be more important than ever. This conversation explores capability, creativity, community, and the deep human need to build, cook, repair, and create. _____ LINKS https://scratchcolumn.substack.com https://katecohen.net/ _____ I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

    My Conversation with Andrew Lownie, The Author Who Brought Down The House of York

    In this revealing Conversation, I speak with historian, publisher, and author Andrew Lownie about his investigation into Prince Andrew, the aura of untouchable royal privilege, and the culture that allowed secrecy to fester and rot. We explore the Epstein scandal’s wider implications and the monarchy’s uncertain future in a world that demands transparency. Now that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested for his involvement, on his birthday, no less, I hope this Conversation will help give you the context of the times we are in, and that you will share it widely with your own networks.
