CWC- Writer, Comedian and Community Organizer Alex Kack

This episodes creator is a stand-up comedian and a stand up human. He co-produces a comedy show called Laughing Liberally. He is also a writer you can see his work on The Bull Moose Review Blog and he is organizer for  The Peoples  Defense Initiative here in Tucson AZ. His work includes the Tucson Families Free Together and is apart of the campaign to make Tucson a sanctuary city. But you might simply know him as Greenshirtguy Alex ... Welcome to the show.

Discussion

  • Tucson Families Free and Together

    • Sanctuary City would mean a place people no longer get asked to show papers or harassed about immigrant status in, Schools, Hospitals, work place and by the police,

    • The organization responsible for training local police teaches that it is okay to rely on unfounded racial stereotypes to determine whether a person might be undocumented. For example, a person may be assumed to be undocumented if they don’t speak English, if they dresses a certain way, or if they don’t have a place to live. In its current policy, Tucson fully embraces this problematic guidance, even though portions of it are likely unconstitutional. Sanctuary in Tucson would end this form of race-based policing. Sec. 17-83(h) & (i).

  • The Bullmoose Review

    • The Bull Moose Review publishes progressive opinion and discussion. We are not journalists nor do we make any claim to be an unbiased news source.

    • What you will find here is analysis of current events, political occurrences and history as well as social and cultural trends.

Tourette's Podcast host Ben Brown

This episodes creator is the host of Tourette's Podcast and newest member to the Geeks RIsing Podcast Network.... Ben Brown welcome to the show. It actually started as the twitter page first. Then the conversation developed into sharing their lives and experiences on a podcast.

Before we get to far into the conversation I bring but Ben's amazing voice. I listen to tons of podcasts and I must say that he have this a voice I could listen to all day. Its similar to some of my other favorites like ROMAN MARS from 99% Invisible and DALLAS TAYLOR of 20k Hertz.

This episode covers Ben's experiences and life and HIS experiences being a creator and also having tourrettes we bound over being young straight edge kids and our love of conversation and the connections of people.

About Tourettes Podcast:

Tourette’s Podcast is a show about experiences. Ben, a host with Tourette Syndrome, talks with fellow Touretters around the world about how they’ve navigated life with this hugely misunderstood neuro-developmental disorder. What we find is that for all the jokes and parody and so on, the real Tourette Syndrome is infinitely more interesting, mysterious, challenging and fun than the popular narrative.

Ultimately, anyone can listen to this podcast and find something to relate to. Plus, the stories are just amazing.
