From Trump’s fiery Fed attacks and Texas’ hemp crackdown to a rising debate over algorithmic parenting in the age of AI, this episode covers it all. In “Ripple Effects,” we dive into the tech-fueled realities of modern childhood, and in today’s “Morning Whisper,” we explore the quiet power of imperfection. Calm, clarity, and caffeinated chaos—welcome to Blue Mountain Morning.

Today on Blue Mountain Morning: Trump’s new push to control Harvard and to incarcerate U.S. citizens in El Salvador.

It’s Tuesday, April 15th, and Blue Mountain Morning is coming in hot—with earthquake updates, Harvard's billion-dollar standoff with the Trump administration, and some deeply dystopian immigration news. But don’t worry, Marc and Alex are here to help you make sense of it all (and maybe even laugh through the chaos).

Then in Ripple Effects, we dive into The Great Sleep Reckoning—why Americans are finally breaking up with hustle culture and rediscovering the radical act of... going to bed.

Happy Monday, beautiful souls! Today’s Blue Mountain Morning starts with a fresh cup of clarity and a whole lot of caffeine. Marc and Alex break down the latest economic and political whiplash—from Trump’s shifting tariff policies to Bernie Sanders rallying at Coachella (yes, really). Then we dive into something you didn’t know you needed: financial therapy. What is it? Why are so many people doing it? And can it actually help us unpack our money hangups (and maybe our Amazon habits)?

Plus, the SAVE Act stirs voting rights debates, and a Greenland power play gets weirder.

Then in Ripple Effects, we explore the quiet revolution reshaping our plates: the return of local food. Why are farmers markets packed, CSA boxes booming, and people reconnecting with their neighborhood growers? From climate resilience and economic justice to food security and sunchokes (yes, sunchokes), this isn't just another foodie fad—it’s a movement with real staying power.

And in The Morning Whisper, Marc reminds us to honor the natural rhythms of our day—like the breath, like the tides—by allowing space to pause and exhale.

It’s Thursday, April 10th, and Blue Mountain Morning is here to help you make sense of a world that’s both absurd and deeply human.

Then, in Ripple Effects, we dig into a quiet crisis affecting millions: loneliness. What makes it so dangerous? Why are Gen Z and young millennials reporting the highest rates of isolation? And what creative, community-driven solutions are popping up across the country?

Finally, in The Morning Whisper, we offer a deceptively simple challenge: make eye contact, be present, and remember—you are not alone.

Whether you’re commuting, making coffee, or just trying to find your footing in the news cycle, we’ve got your back.

Kennedy Jr.’s controversial response to a deadly measles outbreak, to trillion-dollar tax debates, to escalating economic fallout from Trump's tariff war.

But in today’s Ripple Effects, we zoom out and dig deeper into the rise of the “regenerative” movement—beyond sustainability, beyond greenwashing. From farming to fashion to entire cities, we explore how people are shifting from doing less harm to actually doing more good. And in our Morning Whisper, we invite you to ask: what restores you?

A little chaos, a little calm, and a lot of grounding perspective—just how we like our Tuesdays.

Markets crash, storms rage, and eco-anxiety rises. We break down Trump’s $6T tariff shock, deadly flooding, and the emotional toll of climate news. Plus: how to stay informed without spiraling—and why being more like a tree might just help. It’s Monday with meaning.
