Upon Request

Upon Request is a podcast of nuance and a safe space for us to dig deep on tough conversations. We aren’t here to be your go-to news digest! We’re just a few humans trying to be the most authentic versions of ourselves, have fun, and show people that there’s lots you can learn by just being in community with others and leaning into the good, the bad, the ugly, and the leftist. Tune in to us slowly unyounging adults as we try to figure out what it means to be 90s babies in the world of politics; capitalism; the ugly, ugly empire – and all the unbridled joy in between.

    Ozark Agenda, a call for Southern progressive media

    When was the last time you thought about politics, the South, and activism in the same breath? Why is progressive politics and the South overlooked? Do you think LGBTQIA+ rights and Arkansas? Do you think Abolition and Nebraska? Do you think Racial Justice and Mississippi? So many of the most important fights for justice have started, been nurtured, and had major milestones in the Southern states so why does movement, media, and platform not seem to include Southern organizers? We sit down with the founders of Ozark Media to talk more about why they launched their new outlet, what's the focus, the inspiration, and the vision.

    Politics of Precarity, Beyond Divide and Conquer

    For years we've watched cruel corporate-backed decisions that further sow power for corporations while isolating people from different walks of life from protections. Think Hobby Lobby, threats against undocumented migrants, or even the increasingly unstable economic outlook for workers. These are all examples of the divide and conquer strategy of the elite against people, but why? We talk more about what these tactics look like and maybe figure out the why behind them.

    The state of surveillance, with Arjun Singh Sethi

    In a world of increased surveillance, the issues of state security, human rights, and individual freedoms are coming to a head. How do we learn from the surveillance state to date, how do we protect communities, our rights, and ourselves and what can we anticipate with a new era of AI and techno fixes to the human limits of international policing.

    Of Sport, Body and Mind - Interview w/ Lilah Drafts Johnson

    Sports have always been political, from the financial backing by famous Black athletes in the civil rights era, to the groundbreaking pursuits of athletes pushing the boundaries for gender, race, and sexual orientation inclusivity, to the revolutionary acts opposing dictatorships through protest, to modern issues of politics and sport like Colin Kapernick, the list goes on. We sit down to chat with 2018 NCAA Division III 400m hurdles champion Lilah Drafts-Johnson to learn more about her work on making sports safer and better for athletes, the people they are in relationship with, and society at large. Join us as we unpack and try to define what a more conscious participation in sports could look like.
