    Radio Dispatch: Through Is Not Smooth - Feb 18 2026

    We’re living inside history — and it doesn’t feel smooth. Corporate timelines keep moving. LinkedIn sounds polished. Meanwhile, parts of the world are unstable in very real ways. When threat becomes ambient, overwhelm might not be weakness. It might be attunement. “Through” isn’t poetic. It’s heavy. But it’s still the way.

    Radio Dispatch: Between Avoidance and Automation - Feb 02 2026

    This dispatch sits in the space between rejecting AI outright and using it without reflection — tracing how curiosity, work, ADHD, therapy, and lived experience reshaped my relationship with it over time. It’s about structure instead of shortcuts, disagreement without apology, and using tools in ways that keep us grounded in ourselves and in real human connection. Not replacing. Not avoiding. Just thinking with — in real time.

    Radio Dispatch: Standing In It - Jan 26 2026

    This dispatch moves through a hard week without looking away — from political violence and information overload to snowstorms, neighbors, breath, and the body itself. It’s about staying present when the instinct is to disconnect, and about what it actually looks like to remain human in the middle of it all. Not fixing. Not fleeing. Just standing in it — together, in real time.

    Radio Dispatch: Holding The Line - Jan 23 2026

    This radio dispatch touches on themes of steadiness, orientation, and choosing presence in moments of collective strain. It reflects on what it means to hold the line without hardening, stay engaged without overextending, and remain human when the systems we rely on feel unstable and loud.

    10. The Cost of Caring

    Caring has a cost — especially in a world that never goes quiet. In this episode, I’m joined by Cass for a wide-ranging conversation about advocacy, overwhelm, and what it takes to stay human when everything feels urgent. We talk about burnout, why “enough” disappeared, and how the idea of a Victory Garden offers a way to keep showing up without burning out.

    Radio Dispatch: Bloody Sunday - Jan 11 2026

    Radio Dispatch: In this first dispatch, Alex is returning after a long pause to share field notes from the present moment. Drawing on the idea of wartime radio broadcasts, this episode reflects on why connection, context, and small acts of resistance matter more than perfection during unstable times. This is a check-in, a signal, and a reminder that sensitivity isn’t weakness—it’s part of how we endure and show up for each other.

    9. Betrayed by the System - Rape Culture and the U.S. Military

    🚨 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses rape and sexual assault, including institutional cover-ups. Listener discretion is strongly advised. In this gut-punch of an episode, we dive into the dark underbelly of the U.S. military—not combat zones, but the culture of silence around sexual assault within its ranks. Survivors speak out, and we follow the trail of systemic failure that turns brave service members into victims twice over: once by their attackers, and again by the very institution sworn to protect them. It’s raw, revealing, and infuriating—but also necessary. Because the real danger isn’t just the predators in uniform—it’s the system that lets them thrive.
