  Diogenes Club | E17 - Confronting Burnout

  May 28, 20261h 15mS1

  <p>Diogenes In Review</p><p>With Walter resting, Nick Paro, Dr. Eric Lullove, and a returning Evan Fields spend an hour and fifteen minutes arguing that burnout is the operating system of this political moment, not an unfortunate side effect. The conversation moves across three registers — Evan’s recent divorce, Eric’s medical and economic forecasting, and Nick’s call to build personal infrastructure for resistance — and at each level the diagnosis is the same. Exhaustion is being manufactured upstream. The defense has to be built before the wave hits, not after.</p><p>Actions You Can Take</p><p>* Check...

  Diogenes Club | E16 - Replace, Reclaim, Rebuild

  May 22, 20261h 15mS1

  <p>Diogenes In Review</p><p>This was supposed to be the episode where the panel — Nick Paro, Walter Rhein, Dr. Eric Lullove, and (briefly) Evan Fields — sat down to plan how the resistance replaces, reclaims, and rebuilds. Instead the conversation walked through the doors marked “personal,” “procedural,” and “religious” in that order, and by the end Eric was naming the drift on-air: “we literally got away from the whole point of the title of our show… and somehow we got caught up in this — in our own little religious war over syntax.” It would be easy to read that as the episode losing th...

  Diogenes Club | E15 - How Did We Get Here?

  May 15, 202649 minS1

  <p>Diogenes In Review</p><p>This episode was supposed to be a “half show” — Nick Paro and Dr. Eric Lullove catching up after a quiet week — and instead turned into one of the more clarifying conversations the Diogenes Club has hosted on how American democracy actually unwinds. When Nieta Greene of Disability Community for Democracy joined from the chat, the episode reorganized itself around a question the title only half-asks. The “how” of “how did we get here” turns out to have a long answer rooted in 1960s commissions LBJ slid into a drawer, an 1982 Voting Rights Act update that’s been quie...

  Diogenes Club | E14 - Courage For Democracy

  May 7, 20261h 5mS1

  <p>Diogenes In Review</p><p>This episode brings two primary challengers to the same table — Chris Bennett, running for California’s 3rd congressional district, and Alex Rikleen, taking on the longest-serving Democrat in the Senate from Massachusetts — and stages a conversation that refuses the comforting frame of “good policy versus bad policy.” Both candidates are part of Citizens Impeachment, a coalition of more than 150 Courage Candidates pledging to sign articles of impeachment on day one. What makes the hour worth your time isn’t the pledge itself; it’s the reasoning underneath it. Bennett and Rikleen argue, in different registers, tha...

  Diogenes Club | E13 - Rights, What Are They Good For?

  May 1, 20261h 13mS1

  <p>Diogenes In Review</p><p>The thirteenth episode of the Diogenes Club opens on a title that sounds like a joke and lands like a thesis. Nick Paro has been working all night on the line — “What are they good for?” — and Eric Lullove walks straight into it: “I just know that they’re gonna take my vote away next week.” Within two minutes, Walter Rhein has named the moment as a finger-counting exercise — “Can we count from 10 to 0 on the 10 list of rights that they are going to take away?” — and Nick has refused the premise. “I’m done letting them take any...
