The debut episode of Rebel Frequency: The Other Side of Silence begins with introductions to hosts Flip Barrientos and Lauren Taylor, Army veterans stepping into the podcast space to create unfiltered and timely dialogue.

Originally planned as a simple introduction, the recording took place on the same day conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. The episode quickly shifted into a raw response to the breaking news, capturing both the gravity of the event and the urgency that defines the conversations to come.
