TOMORROW: The power of storytelling is no secret. Every political movement tells a story. Here’s the real question: Who gets to tell it? And more importantly, how can we as everyday citizens tell stories that shape movements and build narrative power?

Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your pods 🎙️

95% of Americans agree on universal background checks.

So why don't we have them? Emma Brown explains how the gun lobby blocks what almost everyone wants – and how some states are pushing toward wins for everyday people anyway.

Armed intimidation at polling places isn't free speech. Some states finally passed laws banning weapons near ballot drop boxes.

Remember: Democracy works better when people aren't terrified to vote.

It is hard to spot disinformation because nobody taught us HOW.

Media literacy? Science literacy? Political literacy? We're failing at all of them.

And now the government is defunding education.

Learn what YOU can do in this week's episode wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙
November 9, 2025 at 6:02 PM
The deliberate defunding of education is NOT about budget cuts but a direct threat to truth itself. When people can't recognize disinformation, our entire democracy is at risk.

#ICYMI - AI is deciding who gets disability benefits, reading your chest X-rays, and writing legislation. Nobody asked if you're okay with that. Join us this week to learn why we need transparent AI making these decisions (not black box corporate systems): www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/ai-...
November 4, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Switzerland just built public AI that isn't owned by corporations. But we’re not hearing much about it.

Discover why one country creating transparent, open-source alternatives matters more for democracy than every deep fake panic combined.

AI bias or AI values? The answer might surprise you.

Join us with Bruce Schneier to explore how "bias towards fairness" is actually what we want – the question is who decides what counts as fair and for what purpose.

For a better democracy, we need to understand how information flows!

Join us with Bruce Schneier to learn why AI rewiring that system matters more than we know – it changes who gets heard and who makes decisions.
