This season we’re talking to folks who were ready to fight right after November 5th, 2024 AND are still very much fighting. Thank God.
What The F*ck Do We Do Now?
In December of 2024 we sat down with some of our favorites and asked them, what now?! We didn’t know what to do next, for this podcast, the country, and just in life — so we asked some experts.
We were definitely part of the 3am club on November 6th, 2024. Cried the next day, while we were at our real jobs. But we knew we needed to do something…anything.
We called up some of our friends to check in, catch up, and plot for the future.
Which Brings Us To Now
We’ve had a year of this administration — and in a word, it’s CHAOS.

Because it is chaos, we started doing weekly newsletters to help us and our friends keep up, keep track, and not get lost in the sauce. Cause there is a LOT of sauce to get lost in. Purposely.

But just like during election seasons, we got you. Keep rocking with us, cause we’re gonna keep rocking with you.
Let’s Dive In More In-Depth On This Episode
We sat down with Kendall Scudder right before he announced he was running for the Chair and then almost a whole year after — right before our elections in November.
AND before he became a father!
What a big difference a year makes.
What Got Us Thinking
There are so many Precinct Chairs open in the State of Texas. Interested? You’re in luck! Joey Cade is our resident Precinct Chair, and she knows everything you need to know to fill a seat. Over 1/2 of our seats are vacant. We can’t run at our highest level, with empty positions.
Deadline is soon though, so if you’re thinking about it….holla!

Get Pod Local: The Podcast (Season 2!) with Joey and Jalon
Joey and Jalon sit down with Politicians, Community Leaders, and movers and shakers making a difference. And almost every episode, the Dallas Mayor catches a stray. He deserves it. It’s fine. New episodes every Thursday.
GPL Presents: New Newsletter with Jalon Nichols
Every week, Jalon catches you up on what is going on out here, who is doing it, how does that impact your everyday life, and what everyone is saying about. We are based in Texas, so we have a lot of Texas news, but we cover the whole wide world. There is a LOT of stuff going on everyday, and no one can keep up with it all, but we attempt to….for you. (Clap for us).
GPL Presents: Organizers Corner w/ Joey Cade
Every Sunday night, Joey Cade, our Resident Precinct Chair, lays out our Call To Actions for the week. Because knowing what’s going on is one thing. But doing something about it is another. Let’s do both!
GPL Presents: Water Cooler with Jalon and Joey
Every morning, Jalon D’na and Joey Cade check in and talk about something we read or saw on slack. Videos drop every Thursday!
GPL Presents: Daily Briefs with Jalon Nichols
Everyday, Jalon reads you the headlines of the day — just to keep you in the know. Think NPR at the top of each hour, with a lot of shade some jokes.
