Here's What We Know

What really happened in the months leading up to the Declaration of Independence?

Most of us learned the broad strokes of the American Revolution in school. Professor Robert G. Parkinson believes the real story is far more interesting and far more human.

In this special episode of Here's What We Know, we sit down with the Binghamton University historian and author to explore the uncertainty, political disagreements, personal conflicts, and difficult decisions that shaped America's founding.

We’ll discuss why independence was never guaranteed, why many colonists remained loyal to Britain, what really happened during the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, and how George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and King George III become far more fascinating once you see them as people instead of monuments.

The conversation also explores what we can learn from the nation's earliest struggles, why democracy has always been difficult, and why history still matters 250 years later.

In This Episode

• Why independence was never a sure thing
• The surprising divisions among the colonies
• What Thomas Jefferson was doing while writing the Declaration
• Why George Washington walked away from power
• The role newspapers played in shaping public opinion
• What America might look like if Britain had won
• The lessons the Revolutionary generation still offers today

What keeps someone creating after the industry changes, the paycheck shrinks, and the path gets harder?

This week on Here's What We Know, we welcome comedian, producer, and podcaster Deadair Dennis Maler for an honest conversation about radio, stand-up comedy, podcasting, and the lifelong search for your own voice.

Dennis shares how growing up in punk rock shaped his do-it-yourself mindset, why radio first captured his imagination, and what eventually pushed him toward stand-up comedy and podcasting. We’ll talk about creativity, authenticity, representation, and how staying true to yourself might be the only business model that works anymore.

If you've ever wondered whether you're on the right path or you've questioned whether it's worth continuing to create, this conversation will remind you why the work still matters.

In This Episode

• How Dennis went from punk rock DIY culture to radio to stand-up to podcasting
• The story of radio consultants who made everyone talk the same way for 10 seconds at a time
• The one thing that separates successful creators from those who burn out
• How Dennis's tour guide job in Boston became his favorite platform
• The reality of building a creative career
• The real numbers: why most podcasts die, and how to build one that doesn't
• What it actually takes to grind out content every single day

What keeps a person moving forward after loss, trauma, disappointment, and heartbreak?

This week on Here's What We Know, we sit down with country music artist Michael Peterson, known for hits like Drink, Swear, Steal and Lie, From Here to Eternity, and When the Bartender Cries.

Michael shares the story behind the music, how he survived a childhood marked by abuse, loss, and learning challenges. He almost gave up on music twice, and then one phone call came right when he needed it most.

We also talk about what Michael calls "The Habit of Hope," a simple but powerful practice that helped him keep going when life gave him every reason to quit.

Michael went on to become a platinum artist in country music, a published author of eight books, and someone who's performed for deployed service members across three continents. But his real story starts much earlier, and it's about learning to see 50 feet ahead when you can't see 50 miles.

If you've ever questioned whether your hard work is worth it, this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

• Overcoming childhood trauma and finding meaning
• Why "overnight success" took 25 years
• The habit of hope and how to redirect your thoughts
• What happens when you almost give up right before your breakthrough
• Why learning disabilities don't define you
• How to keep making art when nobody's watching
• The power of second seasons in life and career
• Why you might have already done your best work and don't know it yet

Honestly, it’s one of my favorite rabbit-hole conversations we’ve had in a while.

In This Episode:

• Why concert ticketing feels so broken
• The psychology behind scarcity and demand
• How Taylor Swift changed the live event business
• Why Formula 1 has exploded in popularity

Some people play golf for fun. Joseph Bronson turned it into something deeper.

This week on Here’s What We Know, we sit down with the award-winning author, longtime business executive, world traveler, and passionate golfer for a conversation that starts with golf… but doesn’t stay there for long.

Joseph has played 93 of the world’s most iconic golf courses, teed it up with legends like Arnold Palmer, and spent decades chasing mastery in a game that never fully lets you catch it.

And maybe that’s the point.

We talk about competition, discipline, aging, perspective, and why the mental side of golf has so much to teach us about life itself.

There’s a moment in this conversation where we land on something that felt bigger than golf: Most people aren’t thinking about your mistakes nearly as much as you think they are.

Honestly, that might be one of the healthiest things any of us could remember.

In This Episode:

• What it’s like playing Augusta, Pebble Beach, and St. Andrews
• Why golf is almost entirely a mental game
• The difference between elite athletes and everyone else
• What Arnold Palmer was really like off the course
• Why Joseph walked away from golf for a season
• How First Tee of Silicon Valley helps shape young people through golf
• The surprising connection between golf and personal growth

Bio:

Kyle Clark is a songwriter, artist, and producer born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in the small town of Jefferson, Georgia. His love for country music, paired with a diverse range of influences and a strong work ethic, has shaped his unique sound. After winning the 101.5 Kicks Radio competition in Atlanta two years in a row, Clark’s music caught the attention of hit songwriter and producer Jordan Schmidt (Kane Brown, Tyler Hubbard, Jason Aldean). In 2019, Schmidt offered Clark a joint venture publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing. Within a year, Clark co-wrote his first RIAA-certified Platinum single, “Villain” by Lily Rose. 

When the global pandemic hit, Clark focused his energy on producing his own music, learning from his mentor Jordan Schmidt and his roommate Jacob Durrett (Morgan Wallen, ERNEST). His dedication paid off in early 2022 when a video of his song went viral on TikTok, driving over 21,000 pre-saves for “Hope It’s Hot Out,” which was released on May 27, 2022. The track crossed 1 million streams in its first week and has since amassed over 40 million streams independently across all platforms. 

In 2024, Clark signed a new publishing deal with Relative Music Group, and has since landed cuts with major country acts including HARDY, Blake Shelton, Dylan Scott, Jon Pardi, Mitchell Tenpenny, Restless Road, Mackenzie Carpenter, Erin Kinsey, and Chayce Beckham.
