“ I think our individualism, while it is a strength of Americans, it is also kind of how we got here because we are allowing the most selfish people in our society to run our society — the people that are in it for themselves, people who are hoarding wealth.” ~Jen Briney

Show Notes
If you’re NOT listening to Congressional Dish and We’re Not Wrong, add them to your podcast queue NOW while you’re listening to this conversation with podcaster Jen Briney.
We’re getting into the intricacies of Congress by differentiating between legislative processes and political punditry and emphasizing the need for deeper public understanding and media coverage beyond theatrics.
Our conversation spans topics from specific congressional hearings to the challenges of media sponsorship, the reality of political tribalism, and the importance of community action and self-care in today’s political climate.
For example...
- Community and Collective Responsibility
- Why we can thank George W. Bush for Congressional Dish
- Pros & Challenges of Listener Support and Business Model
- Congressional Oversight and Distractions
- How We Choose Where to Focus Our Outrage When There’s SO Much To Choose From
- The Big Beautiful Bill Act… Gag!
- The Power of Citizen Advocacy
- Personal Well-being and Coping Strategies
- Jen’s Vision for America’s Future
- The Role of Awareness and Media

On Creativity as Resistance
“ I have had to really work hard on acknowledging the limits of my own power. But also knowing that we’re kind of all in this together. So if all of us are doing the one little thing that we can do to contribute, if we were all doing that, it pushes the whole thing in a better direction.” ~Jen Briney
