Ep. 90: Optimistically Nervous: Michigan’s Progressive Primary Gamble (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Beyond Resistance crew is taking a quick summer breather, but not before squeezing in a conversation about two things Midwesterners apparently love: politics and camping. Jennifer and Sarah kick things off with excitement about their brand-new podcast studio (yes, it's in a basement, no, you won't be able to tell) and debate whether camping is a relaxing getaway or just remote work with mosquitoes. Then they dive into a timely conversation about primary elections: when they're healthy, when
Ep. 89: Democracy, But Make It User-Friendly with JP Kloberdanz of BallotReady (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before we get started, a quick heads-up: our internet connections chose chaos for this recording. If JP sounds like he's broadcasting from a spacecraft every now and then, that's just the technology gods keeping us humble. Also, Sarah's lighting was doing something truly unhinged and made her look like she was participating in a witness protection documentary. We powered through. Democracy demanded it.

Read excerpt
Grab your favorite beverage and settle in because this episode is equal parts political road trip, rally recap, and spirited reality check. Jennifer and Sarah unpack their two-hour trek across Michigan to attend an Abdul El-Sayed rally featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC, and spoiler alert: it delivered big main-character energy. The conversation dives into the electric atmosphere of the event, why excitement matters in politics, and how hope can be a powerful organizing tool. Along the way, they s
Ep. 86:🔥Conversation Is the New Counterculture with Mike Winson of Breaking the Meta Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when a Twitch karaoke performer, lifelong Christian, and accidental political content creator decide they’ve had enough of the chaos and start a podcast? You get Mike Winson, host of Breaking the Meta, and one heck of a conversation. This week, Sarah and Jennifer sit down with Mike to talk about the lost art of actually talking to each other. From empathy and curiosity to the dangers of fear-based politics, they dig into why America feels stuck in debate mode when what we really nee
