Freedom isn't free. It requires power.

#ICYMI - The will to tell different stories is everywhere. Some movements are already changing the narrative.

Shanelle Matthews joins us to share how everyday people, not powerful elites, are the real force for narrative change and how we can build it together.

Tune in NOW!

Narrative change is a team sport.

Shanelle Matthews reminds us that telling your story alone isn't enough: organizing with others to challenge dominant narratives is the point. Real power is built in community, not in isolation.

Narrative power is more than just messaging. We need to challenge whose stories get to define "normal."

Join us this week to learn why movements must contest cultural hegemony, where elite beliefs become common sense that everyone accepts without question: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/sto...
November 23, 2025 at 11:01 PM
What people accept as "common sense" isn't always natural. It's a story that got repeated enough times.

This week, Shanelle Matthews shows how social movements rewrite those stories and why your job is to make new ideas feel inevitable.

Political change operates on your ability to tell your story, because stories shape what people believe is possible. It's not always just "facts and policy." So join us for a revealing conversation about how successful movements build power through storytelling. 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: The power of storytelling is no secret. Every political movement tells a story. Here’s the real question: Who gets to tell it? And more importantly, how can we as everyday citizens tell stories that shape movements and build narrative power?

Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your pods 🎙️

#ICYMI - The gun lobby isn't some unstoppable force. They're tiny compared to oil and gas – yet they've blocked gun safety for decades. @Emma_S_Brown explains how they do it and how we beat them. Available now wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️

95% of Americans agree on universal background checks.

So why don't we have them? Emma Brown explains how the gun lobby blocks what almost everyone wants – and how some states are pushing toward wins for everyday people anyway.

November 17, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Armed intimidation at polling places isn't free speech. Some states finally passed laws banning weapons near ballot drop boxes.

Remember: Democracy works better when people aren't terrified to vote.

#ICYMI - We can't fact-check if we never learned how to read critically.

Education is the only real weapon against the infodemic. Everything else is band-aids.

It is hard to spot disinformation because nobody taught us HOW.

Media literacy? Science literacy? Political literacy? We're failing at all of them.

And now the government is defunding education.

Learn what YOU can do in this week's episode wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙
November 9, 2025 at 6:02 PM
The deliberate defunding of education is NOT about budget cuts but a direct threat to truth itself. When people can't recognize disinformation, our entire democracy is at risk.
