What if you could lose your democracy and not even realize it?

This week, we dive into the siren call of authoritarianism—and why so many experts believe the United States may already be living under a version of it.

In today’s episode, we’re taking a step back from the never-ending bad news cycle to discuss a bigger idea: what could a path forward out of this partisan nightmare look like?

Authoritarianism shouldn't be a partisan issue. Full stop. In this episode, we discuss America's slide into despotism and our reaction to the Trump administration's extra-judicial deportation of immigrants without due process. We also introduce our newest team member, Kenny Wilson, who brings good looks and even better audio quality to the pod.

We kick off our first episode of The Nuance Hour by diving into the “Trump 2.0” era—its incendiary rhetoric and how it’s radicalized both the left and the right. We spotlight an Idaho school’s “Everyone Is Welcome” poster controversy to show just how polarized politics have become, even in our own backyard.

In our very first episode, co-hosts Emily Fisk and Trevor Adams introduce The Nuance Hour—a podcast about embracing the gray areas and digging into the layered, messy, interesting stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into headlines.
