    Surfing the Blue Tsunami - Dan Cass

    Despite gerrymandering, voter suppression, misinformation, attack ads featuring mothers trashing their own daughters, and billionaires like Elon Musk spending half a billion dollars, conservatives in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections were swept out to sea. It was a BLUE TSUNAMI. Too big to rig.  Despite Republican efforts to make voting harder, Americans turned it out and elected some of the most progressive candidates ever, giving the Democrats in January control over the House, Senate and a majority of governorships.  But before you pop the champagne, why are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries already promising not to prosecute Republicans? Can Democratic leaders catch up with the voters who just handed them this victory? Today comedian Dan Cass, experimental dance artist, philosopher, and professional observer of the absurd, joins us to surf the 2026 Blue Tsunami. Plus- • Why do Republicans suddenly want to impeach Pete Hegseth? • Who’s in and out politically. • Just who is being manipulated in the new hit documentary “You Can See Everything?” FEATURED MUSIC: 2Krispii - Every Conservative in America Right Now Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: ★ instagram.com/dankkass ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion

    Dan Cass Wants You to Vote, Baby, Vote!

    The 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections are here, and early voting is open. On the ballot: a war nobody asked for, an economy in freefall, job anxiety, medical privacy, trans rights, marriage equality, and even democracy itself are all up for grabs. No big deal! Meanwhile, Trump and his goons are working round the clock to break or steal everything. There's a reason the scariest thing about Halloween this year is the election. But it's not all doom and gloom. A record number of progressive candidates are running for office, and Democrats are fighting to take back control of Congress. If they succeed, the balance of power will shift, and the Trump administration will finally be held accountable. It's always darkest before the dawn. Although, these days, we're starting to wonder if the dawn is going to be generated by Ai. Today, comedian and philosopher Dan Cass, who spent time in Russia studying experimental theater, joins us to look at the nail-biters and shocking developments of the 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections. Dan has a new YouTube comedy series called "Great Set," where he takes viewers backstage at a Chicago comedy club for candid, off-the-cuff conversations with top comedians. Plus-- • A look at the buzzworthy documentaries "Musk" and "You Can See Everything," a comedy about convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and her well hung husband. • Why do straight guys love thinking about the fall of the Roman Empire and the Trolley Problem?

    Sonal Aggarwal is a Woman on Fire

    Chicago comedian Sonal Aggarwal has a fire burning inside her, literally. Before she was captivating audiences as a co-host of The Moth Radio Hour, she was spinning flames as a fire dancer, much to the horror of her family, friends and, honestly, most insurance companies. After a near-fatal motorcycle accident (because apparently fire wasn’t dangerous enough), Sonal put out the flames and grabbed herself a mic, and somehow found stand-up comedy to be the safer career choice.     Since then, she’s become one of Chicago’s most magnetic performers, appearing in Hulu’s Out of the Loop and Netflix’s series Easy, while building a life that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and just a little bit chaotic. Today, the dazzling Sonal Aggarwal joins us to share her journey from fire to funny, through rave culture, theater, weddings she’s officiated, and a deep love of people, storytelling, and language. Plus, we dive into the phenomenon of “Fame Rot” why some artists lose their damn minds when success hits, and how to avoid becoming one of them.

    More than Medicine: The Power of Psychedelic Therapy to Heal Trauma

    Every year millions of people struggle with mental health conditions, and for some, their trauma can become a lifelong prison. They try medication, conventional therapy and every self help book they’re told might help. But for people with treatment-resistant PocTSD, the nightmares don't seem to come to an end. But what if there could be another way to heal? For years, therapists and researchers have explored how psychedelics, paired with carefully guided counseling, can help people break free from behavioral patterns that have held them back. In the new documentary More Than Medicine, filmmakers Kerthy Fix and Paul Kloss follow therapists and patients for nearly a decade as they explore the promise, controversy, and impact of psychedelic therapy. But this emerging movement faces significant challenges, including the FDA's 2024 rejection of an application for MDMA-assisted therapy.  So what did Kerthy and Paul discover after eight years of documenting this evolving movement? And what might the future of mental health care look like?  Today Kerthy Fix and Paul Kloss join us to talk about More Than Medicine, what they witnessed while making the film, and why they believe psychedelic therapy is a revolution in healing.  FEATURED FILM: More Than Medicine: The Rise of Psychedelic Therapy TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7uuIfX-x48 SUPPORT: https://seedandspark.com/fund/more-than-medicine FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: ★ instagram.com/morethanmedicine_doc ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion

    Return to Little House on the Prairie - Lee Ingalls

    When Bonanza ended after 14 seasons, NBC television turned to its biggest star, Michael Landon, to create a new series. Landon adapted Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved “Little House” books into “Little House on the Prairie,” a family drama about perseverance, faith, and community on the American frontier. Premiering in the aftermath of Watergate, the series became a cultural phenomenon, offering an optimistic vision of neighbors coming together to overcome hardship. More than 50 years later, Little House remains one of television's most beloved franchises. Netflix is now rebooting the series with promises of a more historically accurate adaptation. The project has already sparked heated debate, with some conservatives dismissing it as "woke." Today we're joined by writer Lee Ingalls, a cousin of Laura Ingalls Wilder and a leading voice in preserving the Ingalls family legacy. Along with his husband Brett Cullum, he helps organize the Society for the Ingalls Family, a fan group for Little House events and fan gatherings. Lee has written a deeply personal memoir, The Prairie Has a Rainbow, about growing up as a gay boy in the rural Midwest during the 1950s and 60s. Plus-- • Did Heated Rivalry inspire the Netflix producers to create a bromance between Pa Ingalls and Mr Edwards?  Link: ★ Society for the Ingalls Family Follow Us on Instagram:  ★ instagram.com/theprairiehasarainbow ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion

    The Nanaz: Punk Rock Grandmas

    As fascism and other systems of oppression slither their way into the mainstream, resistance doesn't always come from politicians, it’s coming from people with guitars, amps, and fierce music. From P***y Riot crashing churches in Russia to Welsh grannies cranking up distortion in Brooklyn, punk is still one of the loudest ways to say, “Hell to the no!” Today Marc Felion is on special assignment in Brooklyn, New York talking to The Nanaz, a punk rock group from South Wales made up of women in their 50s and beyond. The group started as total strangers in a community sponsored music workshop, and now they’re tearing up festival stages, and bringing their beautiful chaos to New York City for the Loud Women Music festival. Listen as we chat about how punk is giving them a second adolescence, their anthems like “Everyone’s an Idiot” and “Care Home Robbery” call out ageism, the nightmare of elder care, recycling, and why older women with guitars might be some of the most dangerous people in the room.

    Where's the Beef? - with Dan Cass

    By now you’ve probably sick of hearing about the weird video made by McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempciznski, where he nervously takes a tiny bite of their new burger, referring to it as a “product.”  Since then, a myriad of executives have tried to one-up each other with their own burger “eating” videos, creating a full-fledged social media spectacle with the hopes of raising sales and building brand loyalty. But one question still stands: why won't these burger CEOs show themselves swallowing their own “meat?” Today Chicago comedian and burger aficionado Dan Cass joins us to look at the incredibly weird new burger wars, which instead of making people want to buy one, is making everyone question their life choices.  Plus-- • Did Timothée Chalamet’s off putting comments on opera and ballet cost him the Oscar? • BuzzFeed reports they may be going out of business. Here’s 10 reasons and why #4 will shock you.  Follow us on Instagram: ★ instagram.com/dankass ★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelion
