A podcast that lifts up, instead of tearing down.

Robinette Farms co-owner Alex McKiernan joins the show to discuss local food systems, community-supported agriculture, and the challenges of building a more resilient food economy in Nebraska. We discuss why Nebraska imports much of the food it consumes despite being a leading agricultural state, the benefits of buying local food, and how farm-to-table relationships can strengthen both communities and public health. We also explore farm-to-school initiatives, the Mayor’s Local Food Challenge, food security, sustainable agriculture, and the work Robinette Farms is doing to connect consumers directly with Nebraska farmers and food producers.

Political strategist, philanthropist, and author Luis Miranda Jr. joins the show to discuss his lifelong involvement in politics and civic engagement. Best known to many as the father of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Luis shares the story behind his family’s journey from Puerto Rico to New York City, the origins of his son’s name, and how the success of Hamilton gave his family a larger platform for advocacy and philanthropy.

We also discuss the state of American democracy, political polarization, Latino representation in elected office, immigration reform, and Miranda’s recent visit to Nebraska to support congressional candidate Denise Powell.

How did a personal lawsuit turn into a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded payout? 🤯

We pull back the curtain on the brand-new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” created by the Justice Department this week.

With Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche already facing intense heat from Senate subcommittees over the lack of oversight, the question remains: Who is going to protect the American taxpayer?

What do you think? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 👇

Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche just confirmed a massive $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded fund to settle Donald Trump’s lawsuit against his own government. But when pressed by senators, Blanche refused to promise that this money wouldn’t go to J6 rioters or campaign donors—and it gets worse.

We are drawing a line in the sand. The Dan Parsons Show will be asking EVERY candidate running for office—local or national—if they support this $1.8B slush fund. It’s time to put them on the record.
