Heard Tell

Your Heard Tell Twice on Sunday recapping the week that was in turning down the noise of the noise cycle.

With the release of the Texas legislatures intial report on the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, TX, we turn down the noise and read from the report verbatim, with limited commentary, so we have the information on what really happened. 

Our friend, frequent guest, attorney, and Ordinary Times Editor-in-Chief Emeritus Burt Likko returns for an in-depth, grown folk talk about what is and isn't a right under the law, constitutional rights, how the American system of rights came about from the Declaration of Independence to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, to today's court battles and headlines. Burt explains not only the history and legal theory, but also some practical application from trending debates to how we should be talking about, and defending, everyone's rights to protect our own. 

The returning Luis Mendez, our movie reviewer and cinephile friend who has thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder, Marvel's overall plan or lack thereof, award season contenders, and whether the summer box office is back or not. Luis also talks about streaming vs theaters and the ever-evolving business model of mass entertainment through film, shows, and more.

Jeff Luse of Young Voices and C3 Solutions, who joins us to talk energy, gas prices, and policy. Jeff helps us cut through the rhetoric of what is, and isn't, causing the higher gas prices, what is/isn't effective policy to alleviate the pain at the pump, and who is/isn't to blame. Also, Jeff talks wider issues and solutions for climate, energy, and environmental challenges, as well as the political realities that hedge those advancements.

On this Best of Heard Tell, we go back to the very first video Heard Tell we ever did, and one of the most remarkable stories and interviews you will ever hear.

 From November of 2021:

So you might have Heard Tell that some recent comments by Dennis Prager stating that “During the AIDS crisis, can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users, who were the vast majority of the people with AIDS, had they been pariahs the way the non-vaccinated are? But it would have been inconceivable. And it should have been inconceivable; they should not have been made pariahs. But this is kosher, this is OK.” This created a strong reaction on social media and elsewhere. But instead of just reacting, we wanted to turn down the noise on this and talk to someone who lived through the AIDS crisis and can speak from personal experience and give their perspective on then and now. David Hubbell was first diagnosed with HIV in 1985, and he tells the story of finding out via letter, the early days of the crisis, drug trials, surviving the "unsurvivable", and what does and does not compare. Talking about health crisis then and now with a focus not on statistics or cultural issues but on the people involved, on this episode of Heard Tell.

Your Heard Tell for Thursday, the 21st of July 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need by taking an episode to once again focus on mental health, both our own and how the issue is portrayed in culture and media. We replay a conversations we had for the Heard Tell Podcast with Clinical psychologist, writer, author, and podcaster Dr. Kathryn Gordon. Dr. Gordon returns to Heard Tell to talk mental health and healthcare. We talk about how the pandemic and various issues that came with it affected different age groups, how folks adapted, how some did not, and how technology is both a blessing and a curse for fighting isolation. We have a real, grown folk talk about suicide and suicide prevention, what you can and cannot do for someone else, and Dr. Gordon's own book "The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook." Plus, as we do every time we talk, we ask her for some examples of good mental health depictions in movies, TV, and media, and you might be surprised by some of her answers. All that and more on this episode of the Heard Tell Podcast.
