3 OCT 2024 · Hey guys! It’s Sierra. This won’t be a typical episode or even very long, but this will hopefully be the first of the daily updates I’m hoping to share here directly from
Chelsea. Thank you for listening, love you guys.

13 SEP 2024 · What happens when the very land we live on exposes the multigenerational trauma being experienced at the hands of white supremacist state violence? What is it called when peaceful protestors are murdered by law enforcement to protect state interests? How do we respond when even the most “progressive” politicians end up bought out by the very entities they claim to stand against?
We had to jump through hoops to get this episode to publish for listening -- multiple digital transfers, various friends helping with editing, files mysteriously corrupting. It was worth every second and every helping hand -- in this episode, we hear from powerful organizers and faith leaders on the frontlines of the Stop Cop City movement: Reverand Keyanna Jones Moore, Minister Matthew Johnson, musician River-Michael, and the mother of the late activist known as Tortuguita, Belkis Terán. They share with us a 101 introduction to what's happening in so-called "Cop City" in Atlanta (as https://isyourlifebetter.net/cop-cities-usa/) and we explore the state's strategy that combines
- creating more poverty by divesting from communities and unraveling safety net programs;
- criminalizing poverty with "crack downs" on homelessness, substance use and addiction, etc. and;
- increased militarization of law enforcement
*TRIGGER WARNING - this episode contains dialogue related to historic racial trauma, police brutality, state violence, and mental health. Please take care of yourself when choosing to take in heavy content, and proceed with mindfulness.*

8 APR 2024 · Starting off April on the right foot: no fools here, just Chelsea and Tiara sitting down for what was supposed to be a primer on the situation in Palestine, but turned into a conversation that had to go on for two whole days and six hours of content.
This is the first of the episodes that came from that content, and in this episode, we get to know Tiara better as a fresh face to cohost the podcast with us. She tells us about the grief that compelled her to stand in at a direct action in solidarity with Palestinians in October, and how that vulnerability in sharing her grief has transformed the lives and hearts of her own family members. We do our best to pull on the threads that are woven between Appalachia and occupied Palestine, and touch on the importance of paying attention, holding space, and reciprocity. We start to dig into the geopolitical history of the land and its people that led to the current genocide, but we cover that much more in depth in next week's episode.
*TRIGGER WARNING - this episode contains dialogue related to genocide, settler colonialism, white supremacy, anti-semitism, and violence against human beings (including children)*

25 MAR 2024 · SEASON TWO is back, this time with two new cohosts to make the show extra fun!
In this episode, we introduce our new cohosts that are joining Chelsea on the show: Sierra (from episode 8) and Tiara, two additional loudmouthed and badass Appalachian women to raise hell and make good trouble with us. We declare ourselves a fullblown conspiracy podcast as we touch on everything from Amazon to Kate Middleton to AIPAC to Epstein to the Irish Prime Minister and on and on. As we tend to do in the show, we bring it all full circle around the idea that our liberation is inherently interconnected and none of us are free until al of us are free.

Also, this show is for entertainment purposes only; all of our comments are based on the reporting of others and solely represent our opinions, which are not to be represented as factual when we comment on individuals, organizations, or structures.
*TRIGGER WARNING: We cuss a lot, so you probably don't want to listen to this on the speakers at work. This episode in particular touches on topics which may be sensitive for some individuals including gun violence, state oppression, and the genocide in Palestine.

2 OCT 2023 · Get ready for SEASON TWO of the Podcast! We've been recalibrating, recentering, and we're back with a helluva episode to kick off the latest round of rabblerowsing redneck comraderie.
In this episode, I sit down with friends & neighbors Max and Hil to talk about the community organizing that was catalyzed in Haywood County, NC following a hate-filled attack campaign against our trans neighbors. We describe in detail how effectively and quickly community can come together to show solidarity and create the version of reality that we want to live in. Community Organizing Is For Everyone. May you take in the content of today's episode and start your own journey of holy conspiracy with the folks in your own hollers.
*TRIGGER WARNING - this episode contains dialogue related to transphobia, hate and violence, and trauma*
Show some love to Hil's cosplay at @sewingsenpai.

14 JUN 2023 · After a long, unexpected hiatus, the SHOW IS BACK! And on the anniversary of our launch one year ago, no less! In today's anniversary episode, I sit down with Whitni Resides & Mark Brown, the screenwriters of Redneck Army -- a proposal to bring the story of the Battle on Blair Mountain to live on the silver screen. With a focus on all the people involved (including the women and children who made the largest worker rebellion in US history possible), they counter mainstream media's simplification and stereotypical portrayl of Appalachian people and this piece of our history.
Don't forget to show them some love on their socials @redneckarmy.

9 FEB 2023 · Happy Black History Month, friends! In today's episode, we kick of this month by sitting down with one of my personal heroes: the brilliant Desiree B. Stephens. Desiree is an antiracist educator, counselor, and coach who creates community & fosters the healing work that is required for somatic decolonization -- she makes shi(f)t happen! In our conversation, Desiree digs into the idea behind her work, "who were you before you were white?" We explore the importance of taking back our power as the collective & ridding ourselves of the shame that comes from being at the bottom of a systemic hierarchy that we have inherited but have not consented to.

30 JAN 2023 · In this week's belated episode, we go for more adventures down the rabbit hole of race & labor -- but this time, we brought liquor and fast cars! We travel back to the 1600s together and follow the journey of homemade liquor throughout time and space, and just about every war since colonization began. We touch on the Whiskey Rebellion, the role of Roy Hall in the development of NASCAR, the political campaigns that led to the prohibition era, and just about everything else that we can squeeze into an hour.

18 JAN 2023 · In our second episode of 2023, we bring Ash Orr onto the show to give us a breakdown of what’s going on in the state legislature in places like West Virginia right now, where the old white dudes with too much power are going wild. Then, we sit down with Jasmine Sherman -- a self-proclaimed Fat, Black Socialist based out of Charlotte, NC who is taking on the system by running as a candidate in the 2024 election for President of the United States.

10 JAN 2023 · In today's episode, we kick off the new year by digging into the history of the for-profit adoption industry in America.

We have some exciting announcements that you don't want to miss, and I take my first swing at covering some current events taking place in West Virginia.
This week's episode contains a TW for content related to child trafficking/abuse and issues related to adoption/reproduction/abortion/infertility.
