What Truly Terrifies You?

What Truly Terrifies You? Karel Cast 25-24 Fear is used in so many parts of our lives. Politicians use it to get us to vote for them; religion uses it to get you to convert; media uses it daily to shape their coverage. People are dying from floods and weather in Kentucky and Tennessee. There's a death cult whose members just got caught. Guns are everywhere. I've been thinking a lot about fear and how it just doesn't serve us, or America. But in order to deal with it, we must truly face it

The First US President's Day Without One Karel Cast 25-23 It's President's day in the USA and this is the first one in our history where we don't have a President, we have a would be dictator, autocrat, oligarch, whatever the term one chooses, but not a President. Presidents act Presidential; Presidents defend and protect the Constitution; Presidents consider ALL American's their responsibility. Not this one. Trump and Putin have plans for Ukraine that don't involve Zelenski. Will this heighten

Is America Worth The Cost of Admission? Karel Cast 25-22 The economy in the USA is the biggest issue on all our minds. Rents are out of control; mortgage rates and interests; groceries; fuel; utilities; internet; autos and so much more. No place exemplifies this more than California. But California burns, often; floods often. Crime is rough in the major cities. Homelessness is out of control. The same goes for Seattle, New York, Houston, Miami, and every major city in the USA. And what do we all

What is Entertaining in 2025?Karel Cast 25-23 There's a new Marvel Movie opening, Captain America with Harris Ford as Red Hulk and an African American Captain. As Marvel pours out movie after movie, is this the entertainment we want? And what about streaming? Why do all the good RomComs like Bridgette Jones' new outings not get to go to theaters but must go straight to streaming? Has Binge Watching helped, or hurt, TV entertainment. And what of of NBC.

A Turning Point - Forward Into the Past

Progressive Voices ·

2025/02/11

This week's commentary focuses on Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation roadmap for the Trump Administration. Although the president denied knowing anything about it while on the campaign trail, it was conceived and written primarily by Russell Vought, the once and current OMB director (super-powerful controller of the budget), and a slew of Trump designees. The roadmap eschews democracy for autocracy, and paves the way for the broligarchs to continue their rampage. Sounds like fun, I know, but I

Super Bowl Is All That’s Wrong with America 2025 | Really Karel Show Karel Cast 25-020 Yesterday was the “big game” day. But what is it, really? Well, it’s companies paying $16m a minute to get their message across. And where does that money come from? From our pockets. And are these companies good for America, good for the world, good for the planet? Nope, most sell things we shouldn’t even eat or drink or drive. Trump shows up to cheers while Taylor is booed? A world upside down. And

Why #MAGA is So Afraid of #DEI Karel Cast 25-013 Donald Trump is fighting DEI harder than climate change, grocery prices, or any other issue facing America. Why? Why is MAGA so afraid of diversity, equity and inclusion? That’s a really simple question to answer. But as companies like Target continue to discontinue this practice, what does it tell you about corporate America? And aren’t we stuck in a giant “Whatcha Gonna Do?” Period? Because really, what are YOU going to do? Support the show at
