What happens when a pediatrician-legislator sits down with the woman who raised her—and now safeguards California’s elections? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson talks with her mother, California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber, about raising kids across two eras, carving out screen-free family time, building a real village, and fighting for quality public education. They connect those choices at home to the health of our democracy—debunking myths about election integrity and making the case for participation and persistence. If you’re a parent, educator, or voter (or all three), this conversation will refuel you. Listen now.
Our favorite season in San Diego doesn’t start in June—it starts after Labor Day. In this episode, Clifton and Shay unpack San Diego Summer, that glorious September–November run when Mission Bay hums, SeaWorld fireworks pop on weekends, and Belmont Park dares you to ride a 1925 coaster like you mean it. We hit Crown Point, Petco Park, InsideOUT, and hop the CBX for dinner in TJ (plus cheap flights to Mexico City, Oaxaca, and beyond). Then we light the fuse on Unpopular Opinions: Jack in the Box vs. In-N-Out. Bring your curly fries, your Double-Double, and your best arguments.
In this week’s episode, Chad and Cara dive into the chaos of modern American politics, from gerrymandering battles and partisan ballot language to the blurred lines between socialism, democracy, and fear-driven politics. Can exposing the flaws in our system finally lead to real reform?
A blinking crosswalk. A split second. And then asphalt. In Episode 109 of Unseen Impact, “Hit by a Truck,” former restaurant GM Ricky Sutherland shares how a low-speed pickup strike turned into a multi-year recovery—hip and back pain, sleep issues, and subtle brain-injury symptoms that others noticed before he did. We unpack what “unseen” really means, from expert reconstructions and MRIs to the morning-after call from an insurance adjuster eager to settle. If you’ve ever thought “I’m fine” after a crash, this one’s for you. Practical takeaways, honest conversation, and a roadmap for doing the hard things right on your timeline.
Adults-only ship, hammock goals, and a dining scene with zero buffets—Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady surprised us in all the right ways. We hop from Barcelona to Palma, Cannes, Corsica, and Florence/Pisa, hack excursions for a fraction of the price, and fall hard for The Wake’s infamous French toast. Corsica wins the stop-of-the-trip; Rome brings the heat—literally. The only miss? That “8–5” port schedule that shrinks when reality docks. Staff 10/10, food and vibes high, comms need work. Our score lands between 7.75 and 8.5. Full breakdown (plus the €20K Prada plot twist) in the episode.
Your doctor’s orders matter—but your block, bus route, and grocery aisle might matter more. Dr. Akilah Weber Pearson and guest Dr. Rodney Hood break down how food access, housing, transportation, education, and the biology of stress drive 80–90% of health outcomes—and the fixes already working in California. From community health workers to Housing First, this episode turns policy into practical prescriptions.
What turns “maybe” into “I’m going to college”? For three first-generation students at Southwestern College, it was community—professors who noticed, mentors who insisted, and programs that mapped the path and removed the price tag from textbooks. In this episode, David Alvarez talks with Diana (now at UCSD), Oscar (double-majoring with SFSU online), and Jose (foster-youth alum turned campus leader) about EOPS, First/Second Year Experience, Guardian Scholars, and the power of a well-timed nudge. If you’ve ever wondered how first-gen students make it from confusion to commencement, this conversation is your blueprint—and your motivation.
Missouri’s booming cannabis market is facing a new threat: unregulated hemp and “gas station weed.” In this episode, Cara McCormick talks with Dave Craig of From the Earth about how loopholes in federal law have created a dangerous, untested, and untaxed parallel industry that’s undermining legitimate businesses and public safety.
Pack your passport and your sense of humor — Clifton and Shay are in Barcelona, where sangria meets self-discovery. In The Expatriate Act, they reunite with globe-trotting friend Todd Cowen for a no-filter chat about culture shock, courage, and calling home from the wrong time zone. From Texas roots to London rain and Catalan sunshine, it’s a wild ride through expat life — diaper jokes, lost translations, and all. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting over somewhere sexy, this episode proves the adventure's messy, hilarious, and totally worth it.
