What happens when someone turns your most intimate moments into a weapon? On this episode of Unseen Impact, Rory and Kerrie sit down with “Jane Doe,” a courageous survivor of the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, and clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Joanna Savories. Together, they unpack how a charming former pro athlete used nude photos to threaten, control and terrorize Jane — and how California Civil Code 1708.85 finally gave her a path to justice. From gaslighting and trauma bonds to panic, sleepless nights and rebuilding trust, this conversation is raw, validating and full of practical tools for healing.
Host Chad Peace and co-host Cara McCormick dive into the left’s political freak-out over Trump potentially rescheduling cannabis — and what it exposes about a system that weaponizes even 80/20 issues. With guest Adam Swart of Crowds on Demand, they go from weed reform to immigration to gerrymandering asking: Can independents help drag politics back to common sense solutions?
When you picture hunger in San Diego, do you see your child’s teacher, a Navy family, or the senior who lives down the hall? In this episode of Dreaming Big Working Hard, Assemblymember David Alvarez sits down with Casey Castillo of the San Diego Food Bank to look past stereotypes and into the reality behind one number: 848,000 neighbors who can’t reliably put three meals on the table. They walk through the 43-day federal shutdown, the loss of benefits for hundreds of thousands, and how the Food Bank and 450 partner nonprofits mobilized so families wouldn’t go without. It’s a story about collaboration, resilience, and why every volunteer shift and every single dollar truly matters.
In this episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future, Dr. Akilah Webber Pearson sits down with her friend and mentor, Dr. Kelly Elmore, to tell the truth about HBCUs. From Xavier University of Louisiana’s unmatched record sending Black students to medical school, to the way HBCUs build confidence, community, and leadership, they connect higher education to real health outcomes. They also confront bomb threats, billion-dollar funding gaps, and why underfunding these institutions harms entire communities. If you care about equity, opportunity, and who gets to become a healer, this conversation is for you. Listen in and rethink what college really changes.
What if the “panini” was the best thing that ever happened to your love life, your zip code, and your tolerance for $22 sandwiches? In this episode of Anything But CliShay, Clifton and Shay strip the pandemic down to its messy parts: panic in upstate New York, horny fantasies about surfing to Patagonia, vaccine ultimatums from HR, and that one friend who blew their whole “stimmy” on stupid stuff. From bed-rotting to border-hopping in Mexico, from “is this the end?” to “get in my bed in San Diego,” they talk anxiety, politics, money, and mortality the way they do everything—unfiltered, F-bombs included, and way too honest. If 2020 broke you a little, this one might fix you… or at least make you laugh about it.
Pro-democracy activists don’t just need to win reforms at the ballot box; they have to stay in the battle to keep their initiatives from being torn apart the morning after. On this week’s Independent Voter Podcast, Chad Peace and Cara McCormick lament the quiet persistence of partisan political sabotage: the delays, rewrites, and procedural tricks that greet any changes to the status quo, even when voters overwhelmingly approve.
What if every screaming airplane baby came with a price tag… for almost a million dollars? In this episode of Anything But CliShay, Clifton and Shay get brutally honest about why they’re firmly on Team Childfree—for now, and maybe forever. From red-eye flights with “crotch goblins” to the LendingTree math that puts the cost of raising a kid in SoCal at nearly seven figures, they unpack the money, time, identity shifts, and social pressure that come with parenthood. No mom-shaming, no dad-bashing—just two adults saying the quiet part out loud. Hit play if you’ve ever thought, “What if I just… didn’t have kids?”
