    Introducing: Truth Deferred
    Jan 17 2026

    Introducing our latest quarterly show: Truth Deferred, a serial that will be released weekly. To find the series and more subscribe over at www.grabbagcollab.com

    Season One of Truth Deferred: The National Guard Massacre takes listeners through a series of grisly murders, into the minds of a public whipped into a lynch mob, and explains how it all ended in the largest slaughter of unarmed civilians by National Guard troops in U.S. history. Just as shockingly, hosts Mike and Amy Morgan reveal how the truth of these events was so successfully whitewashed that the real story has been buried for over 140 years – until now – and well also ask the unsettling question: could it happen again?

  • How We Hope- Hope in collective action: What we can learn from Wikipedia, smallpox eradication, and a movie theater strike

    How We Hope- Hope in collective action: What we can learn from Wikipedia, smallpox eradication, and a movie theater strike
    Dec 10 2025
    The full How We Hope series will debut for Grab Bag Collab Everything GBC+ feed subscribers over at www.grabbagcollab.com

    Some of the biggest sources of doom are collective action problems—issues that feel too big for any one person to solve, but that could be turned around if everyone made a change. For our first episode, we investigate examples of successful collective action at different scales. We talk to Seb Diaz about organizing a movie theater strike in Downtown Brooklyn, Nellie Bristol about the eradication of Smallpox, and Kevin Li about the persistent work of Wikipedia contributors. What contributed to their success, and how can they inspire us?

    Introducing: How We Hope
    Nov 30 2025
    Coming soon to our Grab Bag Collab subscribers! Our next quarterly show: How We Hope

    These days, many people are feeling like their country, the world, and possibly even humankind, are doomed. In six deeply-researched episodes, co-hosts and close friends Betsy and Lena pose the question: where can we find hope?

    How We Hope investigates, debates, and wrestles with hope from all angles: practical examples of progress, the philosophy and psychology of hope, and personal stories from those who have lost or regained their faith. We talk to activists, psychologists, scholars of Afrofuturism, and our own peers. In every episode, we banter, report, and grapple with our own relationships to hope.
