Does the Left Hate Men?: Comrade Cast - Episode 14

In this podcast, Carrie and Parker speak with Indiana State Senator, Shelli Yoder.  We explore together Shelli’s history and vocation in passionate public service, as well as  reclaiming the word politics and politician, holding difference and finding common ground.  In a time when the most extreme and strident voices are more likely to get media sound bytes, it was deeply moving and encouraging to be in conversation with someone doing faithful and thoughtful daily work in public service.

In this episode Parker J. Palmer and Carrie Newcomer revisit  favorite episode with Author/poet Ross Gay, who has touched countless readers with his books A catalogue of Unabashed Gratitude, Beholding, The Book of  Delights,   Incitements to Joy, AND The book of (more) delights”.  This episode was recorded in December of 2020, and in it we discuss finding, noticing and experiencing delight as a daily practice,  joy as an act of resistance and the importance of creating a connection to one another and to the natural world.

Have You Ever (Remix)

In this episode, we sit down with Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson, who has dedicated her life to fighting for justice and standing up for those left out or left behind. A special education teacher for 27 years, Gloria became fed up with elected officials attacking the rights of public school students and teachers. As a member of the “Tennessee Three,” she demanded that Republican politicians in Nashville stop the nonsense and pass gun safety laws to prevent future shootings. Now, Gloria is running for U.S. Senate with a mission to shift power back to working and middle-class families. She is committed to lowering costs for Tennessee families, expanding access to affordable healthcare, protecting reproductive freedom, passing common-sense gun safety measures, and increasing funding for public schools. Tune in as we discuss her journey, her vision for Tennessee, and why she’s ready to bring real change to Washington.

When Progressives Push Too Far | Karel Cast Ep. 106

When Tolerance Goes Too Far

Is the left losing the middle? A viral debate over actress Sydney Sweeney’s “great genes” (and jeans) shows just how extreme internet outrage culture has become — and it may be pushing everyday people away from progressive causes.

Plus, I want you to go to the movies — and I’ll tell you what to see and why it matters. 🎬

And Senator Cory Booker loses it on fellow Democrats. GOOD. It’s about time someone shows real emotion and demands accountability from the party.

Liberals, if we keep pushing people away with hypersensitivity, who’s left to fight for the actual issues? Let’s talk about how we get the message back on track.

When Progressives Push Too Far | Karel Cast Ep. 106

🔥 Katie Porter Scandal EXPOSES Why Democrats Keep Losing | Karel Cast 25-128

Democrats are eating their own — again. As California’s Katie Porter faces criticism for a so-called “scandal,” even fellow Democrats are turning on her. But let’s be real — in the age of Trump, where threats, lies, and corruption barely make headlines, why are Democrats still obsessed with appearing perfect?

Karel dives into how Democrats keep sabotaging themselves — from overreacting to minor controversies to refusing to play political hardball while the other side rewrites the rules. Meanwhile, red states gerrymander freely, but when blue states try to level the playing field, Democrats clutch their pearls.

It’s time to ask: are Democrats too moral for modern politics? And is that moral high ground killing the country they’re trying to save?

🔥 Voters Humiliate Trump As Democrats Roar Back | The Karel Cast

The blue wave is back — and Donald Trump is furious. From Virginia to New Jersey, New York to California, Democrats just swept the map, proving that Americans are ready to move on from chaos, culture wars, and Trumpism itself.

But the question now is: will Democrats finally fight like winners? Voters aren’t just rejecting Trump — they’re rejecting Biden fatigue and demanding a new, bolder progressive energy.

Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani’s historic win and electrifying speech reminded the country what real inspiration sounds like — echoing the passion and vision of Barack Obama himself.

Still, all isn’t calm: MAGA extremists are cornered and dangerous, ICE is under fire for shocking misconduct, and America’s political crash course continues.

Plus, Karel shares a heartfelt reflection on personal transformation following yesterday’s “crash” editorial — a reminder that growth often comes from the wreckage.

🎙️ The Karel Cast streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST on all major platforms — Apple, Spotify, iHeart, and Spreaker.
