On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise on on the growing reaction to HHS Sec RFK, Jr's and President Trump's comments on Autism at the recent cabinet meetin. Reporter Eric Garcia, who usually joins us to talk his coverage of congress joins to talk about the danger of losing 50 years of progress in advocating and understanding Autism and related issues due to the revisionist histories, online conspiracies theories, frightened parents, misguided do-gooders, and some maliciously benevolent people who might think they are helping but are doing enormous damage to vulnerable folks. Eric's already written one book on autism, is writing another, and writes and reports every day while being autistic himself. Grown folk talk that cuts through the political agendas, online conspiracies, and news cycle noise on an important topic that is being lost to the crazymakers.

On this episode of Heard Tell, we're back "across the pond" to check in on our United Kingdom friends with Oliver Dean joining us from the UK. What's going on in UK politics with a two-party system that for the first time in hundreds of years faces a real third threat in Reform, the flailing Labour government under PM Keir Starmer, and how there is a real pessimism that has lingered after that last election that has kept Labour from finding its footing, the Tories from finding a unified message, and finds Reform on the rise. Plus, we talk about the policy and backlash about online content censoring and online ID laws, immigration crisis, housing, and the systemic issues inside the UK that won't be solved in just one or two election cycles, and how the once vaunted UK university system is starting to show some real decline.

On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise on US Senator Bernie Sanders visiting West Virginia as part of his current tour with reporter and founder of Wheeling Free Press Justice Hudson who was in the room and working the crowds during the Wheeling rally. Since Justice reports on local issues from city council meetings and homeless ordinance debates to major disasters and election coverage, the perfect person to parse through the hot takes and media narratives. Was the crowd locals or "bussed in" as some accused, why does Bernie Sanders play better even in red states than some of his most ardent supporters do, how did West Virginia get to be so red in the first place, and grown folk talk about the difference between big splashy rallies and viral video moments and the hard work of actually winning elections. Plus, how the recent deadly flooding is present in all other things in Wheeling right now, and Justice’s personal experience of going to cover the flooding as a story, but having to get involved in the clean up himself.

On this episode of Heard Tell host Andrew comes fresh of some talking heading to talk through the reported cuts coming for Veterans Affairs, the wider push for DOGE & “efficient/smaller” government, and the rhetoric that there should not be any “sacred cows” when it comes to spending cuts.

On this episode of Heard Tell we are talking about the goings on at the Academy Awards.

On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise of the news cycle and get to the information we need on Canada being all over US news and politics. But instead of talking about Canada amongst ourselves, let's try something different and talk to Canada and the politics and economics thereof with Sabine El-Chidiac, Canadian Policy Associate for the Consumer Choice Center and an actual Canadian. Sabine and host Andrew talk through the background of the current headlines going back to the first Trump administration, how political upheaval and looming elections affect Canada's position, how the Canadian government works and the politics American's and the world need to know and understand, and the economic crisis that is the undertow to many other problems facing Canada right now. Also, Sabine gives some things to watch for in news coverage coming up, and answers the question "Could Waffle House bring peace between our two nations?"
