Broadway actor Marya Grandy and the Lied Center’s Executive Director Bill Stephan join the show to discuss Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who fought for the right to vote. We explore the overlooked history behind the suffrage movement, the show’s modern political resonance, and why its message about activism, democracy, and persistence still feels urgent today.

Suffs will play May 5-10, 2026, at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, find ticket information at liedcenter.org

Is military policy being driven by faith? In this episode, we dive deep into the complex intersection of Christian nationalism within the U.S. military and the contrasting calls for global peace from the Vatican. 

Host Dan Parsons analyzes the tension between modern military strategy and religious doctrine, specifically looking at *Pope Leo’s legacy* of peace versus the rising influence of nationalist ideologies in the Pentagon.

Political consultant Ryan Horn returns to the show to break down the fast-moving developments surrounding the U.S.–Iran conflict and what it means for American strategy abroad. Horn gives his take on the reported ceasefire, the administration’s approach to the war, and the broader implications for deterrence and U.S. foreign policy. We also discuss the political fallout at here at home, including a fracturing Republican coalition, shifting attitudes on the economy, and how it plays into the 2026 midterms and key races in Nebraska.

In this episode Janell Folkerts, a self-proclaimed “Patriot Hippie” and former MAGA supporter who voted for Trump three times in past elections, joins us to discuss her frustrations with the current administration and why they’re losing support. As a staunch supporter of the military, she talks about her disapproval of U.S. involvement in the conflict with Iran. We also discuss her disappointment with Trump’s mishandling of the Epstein files, MAHA, midterm elections and the political divide between baby boomers and Gen Z regarding war.
