Get Pod Local: The Podcast (Season 2!) with Joey and Jalon

Joey and Jalon sit down with Politicians, Community Leaders, and movers and shakers making a difference. And almost every episode, the Dallas Mayor catches a stray. He deserves it. It’s fine. New episodes every Thursday!

GPL Presents: New Newsletter with Jalon Nichols

Every week, Jalon catches you up on what is going on out here, who is doing it, how does that impact your everyday life, and what everyone is saying about. We are based in Texas, so we have a lot of Texas news, but we cover the whole wide world. There is a LOT of stuff going on everyday, and no one can keep up with it all, but we attempt to….for you. (Clap for us).

GPL Presents: Organizers Corner w/ Joey Cade

Every Sunday night, Joey Cade, our Resident Precinct Chair, lays out our Call To Actions for the week. Because knowing what’s going on is one thing. But doing something about it is another. Let’s do both!

GPL Presents: Water Cooler with Jalon and Joey

Every morning, Jalon D’na and Joey Cade check in and talk about something we read or saw on slack. Videos drop on some Thursdays!

GPL Presents: Daily Briefs with Jalon Nichols

Everyday, Jalon reads you the headlines of the day — just to keep you in the know. Think NPR at the top of each hour, with a lot of shade some jokes.
