Insider Perspective On Congress Beyond The Headlines w/ Congressional Reporter Eric Garcia

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by going beyond the headlines and into the halls of congress with Eric Garcia, the Washington bureau chief and senior Washington Correspondent at the Independent. Eric explains the current changes in congress that saw the foreign aid bills passed, the apparently sideline-ing of Marjorie Taylor Greene and the chaos caucus's constant threats of removing Speaker Johnson, how the looming elections are affecting the politics on Capitol Hill, generational change coming to the US Senate, simmering internal strife with the Democratic Party, and what the post-election congress might look like. Plus, we end on a good note with the story a immigrant who already had an incredible story of coming to America and battling cancer, and that was before he hit a billion dollar lottery prize.

The Worst Case Scenario of Child Protective Failure Happens in West Virginia w/guest Kelli Caseman

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the shocking case of dead 14 year old girl in Boone County, West Virginia, who was found “emaciated to a skeletal state” dead on her bathroom floor.

Kelli Caseman of ThinkKidsWV returns to Heard Tell to talk about what needs to happen on the government level, policy ideas, the need for effective advocacy, and what the public can do about it.

Grown Folk Talk About Career Path, Finances, Retirement, Influencer Culture, Social Security, & more

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest is John McCumber, who returns to Heard Tell to talk about the current discourse over financial planning, careers, and retirement from the POV of someone who did the "sell everything and move to Florida" thing after several successful careers. John not only was part of the more than 4 million folks that retired and dropped out of the workforce during COVID, but is also part of the millions who have returned to it part-time or with side hustles. John and host Andrew talk about how the news media coverage and the rise of "influencer" online are skewing and doing a disservice to folks trying to make life plans and decisions, why you have to hustle in your 20s and 30s to enjoy your 60s and beyond, grown folk talk about Social Security and the "safety net," why acquiring skill sets is more important than just getting credentials, and sharing life experiences that can translate to better decision making for the future.

Plea Deals in Georgia Trump Trials, Israel-Palestine Erupts On Campus, Defending Taylor Swift & more

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the plea deals in the Georgia trials over Donald Trump's interference in the 2020 elections, with Jenna Ellis being the latest MAGA star to say one thing in their court confession that runs counter to the years of social media posing and preening they've been doing. Our good friend Dr. Michael Siegel returns to Heard Tell to talk about how protests and debate over Israel's reaction to Hamas terrorism and the Palestinian situation has exploded across campuses, and ask his POV as an academic about the current state of students, how viral videos change perception, the real status of free speech on campus, and his personal take on how the Hamas attacks and worldwide reaction feel so different this time to the Jewish Community. Then we talk about housing, and how the latest headlines about home buying underscore the importance of housing in understanding the true state of the economy. Then, Carolyn Bolton of DonorsTrust joins to defend Taylor Swift from the recent onslaught by influencers and social media by examining her record of philanthropy and laying out that the pop superstar has been amazingly consistent and low-key in her giving of money, and giving of political opinions, discusses why Taylor Swift gets so many in the commentary realm so worked up, introductory info for non-Swifties, and even compares notes with host Andrew about his favorite songs from Taylor Swift.
