    • Where Democracy Breaks Or Heals: Down-Ballot Power with Melanie Miles

      Courts shouldn’t feel like a maze. They should feel like a place where neighbors are heard. We sit with attorney and candidate Melanie Miles to unpack how a Justice of the Peace can turn a stressful day in court into a fair, navigable process—and why Precinct Seven, Place 2 needs that shift now. From the first “good morning” at the clerk’s window to how cases are scheduled and supported, Melanie lays out a people-first plan that treats tenants, landlords, and small-claims litigants with dignity and clarity.

      We talk brass tacks: building a resource ecosystem inside the courthouse—computers, printers, legal aid, and volunteer clinics—modeled on the best JP courts in Harris County. We also get tactical about access: adding one Saturday and one evening docket each month so working families aren’t forced to choose between a paycheck and a hearing. And yes, judges need to show up. Reliability on the bench is a form of justice.

      Policy takes center stage with SB 38, Texas’s response to squatters that also accelerates evictions. We break down the risks of four-day response deadlines, email-only notices, and default judgments, then outline practical safeguards like bold, plain‑language notices and fill‑in response forms served with the petition. The aim is balance—protect property owners while preserving due process for lawful tenants who need a real shot at being heard.

      Along the way, we swap stories about voter apathy, wellness rituals that prevent burnout, and the power of year-round civic culture—volunteering, endorsement screenings, and bringing a friend to the polls. Down-ballot races like Justice of the Peace shape daily life far more than headline offices, determining whether a crisis becomes a scar or a solvable problem. If you care about housing stability, fair hearings, and a court that actually serves the community it lives in, this conversation is your roadmap.

      Make a plan to vote, share this episode with a neighbor, and leave a review so more Houstonians find it. Your circle is your superpower—use it.

    • Finding the Yummy of Yoga & Tarot with Raye Lynn Rath-Rondeau
      Dec 6 2025

      Let us know what you think by clicking here to send us a text.

      What if peace isn’t a finish line but a muscle you train, one breath at a time? Robin sits down with Raye Lynn—teacher, studio owner, intuitive—to map a life shaped by meditation, yoga, and listening closely to that quiet inner nudge. From a fidgety seven-year-old learning to sit still in 1968, to sensing the Enron storm before it broke, to owning beloved studios and guiding hundreds, Raye Lynn shows how simple practices can reroute a lifetime.

      We unpack what beginners truly need: start where you are, speak to your teacher, and seek alignment that works for your body. Expect real benefits—better sleep, calmer focus, fewer injuries—without chasing contortionist shapes. Raye Lynn reframes meditation as dropping beneath thoughts rather than forcing silence, using a vivid ocean metaphor to help anyone find the depth beneath surface noise. For those carrying anxiety, grief, or burnout, her specialty, Yoga Nidra, becomes a transformative reset: a guided glide into the edge of sleep where the nervous system unwinds and intentions finally stick.

      Raye Lynn also opens the door to her tarot practice. The cards are a starting point, but the goal is your agency: seeing weather patterns in your life, spotting doors opening and closing, and choosing with clarity. We talk ethics, boundaries, and cadence, so guidance supports growth without dependency. Along the way, we return to community—the people who hold you when you can’t stand—and the truth that asking for help can be its own kind of strength.

      If you’re curious about Yoga Nidra, meditation, or a grounded reading, Raye Lynn offers virtual sessions and visits Houston monthly with restorative and sound bath collaborations. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share with a friend who needs a gentle nudge toward calm, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your breath is a good place to begin.

    • Ghosts, Monsters, And ... Don't Feed The Gremlins After Midnight Or ... Bury That Jar!
      Nov 18 2025

      Let us know what you think by clicking here to send us a text.

      Four voices trade ghost stories, queer horror, and cultural myths to ask what fear is really for. We swap jokes about cursed jars and rapture beds, then get serious about real danger, empathy, and how horror mirrors power and identity.

      • ghost encounters as energy, memory, and suggestion
      • Mr Aikman’s attic warning and childhood intuition
      • consciousness beyond the body and tech’s mind fetishes
      • evolution, otherness, and the roots of monster myths
      • horror reframed by queer and BIPOC creators
      • voodoo, charms, and culture without appropriation
      • Langoliers on a foggy highway terror
      • school lockdown drill stress and release
      • gremlins, rules, and moral fables in cinema
      • UFOs, multiverses, and living ghost towns
      • upcoming live art and anti‑fascist events in Houston

      Ghost stories are easy; the hard part is asking what they say about us. We kick things off with a hallway lamp that flips on by itself and a polite ghost named Mr. Aikman guarding an attic, then spiral into how memory, energy, and culture make “hauntings” feel true. From a grandmother staring down a figure at the foot of the bed to a cursed coin purse designed so something missing can never be found, we weigh belief against brain science and ask whether consciousness might reach beyond the body into a shared field the living sometimes stumble into.

      That curiosity pulls us straight into horror’s engine room. We talk evolution, otherness, and the uncanny—how old fears about difference created modern monsters—and why queer and BIPOC creators are rewriting the rules. Get Out turns suburbia into a trap. The Bride of Frankenstein turns the “monster” into an innocent. Pan’s Labyrinth makes fascism the true terror. Along the way, we swap unhinged folklore: a hex-breaking jar that absolutely should not have been dropped, the “rapture bed” that mysteriously vanished, and the eternal question of when it’s finally safe to feed a gremlin. We laugh because laughter releases the body after it locks up, whether it’s The Langoliers on a fog-choked highway or a real school lockdown alarm that was—no kidding—triggered when someone sat on the button.

      Horror thrives where we can’t say things out loud. It lets us talk about power, identity, and harm without naming names. It also reminds us that the scariest threats aren’t ghosts; they’re people who write rules, close doors, and decide whose fear counts. We close by teeing up UFOs, multiverses, and the Great Plains’ “living ghost towns,” where missile silos and abandoned plants feel like postcards from a future we’d better understand fast.

      If this conversation hit a nerve, follow and share the show with a friend who loves smart, strange stories. Leave a review to help others find us, and tell us, what’s the one horror scene you can’t shake—and why?
