Theater maker and grief educator Ashley Sparks steps off her national tour to sit down with the Black Rabbit Collective. She is currently traveling across the country performing her one woman play titled Leaving the Party. We are stepping back from the daily outrage cycle to have a real conversation about how unresolved trauma drives our modern culture wars.Unprocessed grief is quietly eroding our local communities and our democracy. Sparks breaks down the loneliness epidemic and how personal loss shapes the way we vote. This is a raw look at the unspoken realities of masculinity and political isolation. We explore how communities can actually heal instead of just fighting at the ballot box.Get in the live chat and drop your thoughts.

Sean Bridgers Behind the Ballot | Jackson County Commissioner District 2
District 2 candidate Sean Bridgers joins us live for a brand new Behind the Ballot. We are trading the rehearsed campaign speeches for a real conversation about local life. We sit down for an unscripted conversation to see exactly who he is beyond the campaign flyers. We dig into the actual life skills that make him a capable leader instead of just arguing over policy platforms. This is your chance to look past the yard signs and get to know the person asking for your vote this November.
