About Upon Request

Upon Request is a podcast of nuance and a safe space for us to dig deep on tough conversations. We aren’t here to be your go-to news digest! We’re just a few humans trying to be the most authentic versions of ourselves, have fun, and show people that there’s lots you can learn by just being in community with others and leaning into the good, the bad, the ugly, and the leftist. Tune in to us slowly unyounging adults as we try to figure out what it means to be 90s babies in the world of politics; capitalism; the ugly, ugly empire – and all the unbridled joy in between.

   Ozark Agenda, a call for Southern progressive media

   When was the last time you thought about politics, the South, and activism in the same breath? Why is progressive politics and the South overlooked? Do you think LGBTQIA+ rights and Arkansas? Do you think Abolition and Nebraska? Do you think Racial Justice and Mississippi? So many of the most important fights for justice have started, been nurtured, and had major milestones in the Southern states so why does movement, media, and platform not seem to include Southern organizers? We sit down with the founders of Ozark Media to talk more about why they launched their new outlet, what's the focus, the inspiration, and the vision.
