    ICE and America at a Crossroads | Unemployment Line
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode of The Unemployment Line, Larry P and The Dok go deep on one of the most charged and controversial issues facing America right now: the role and actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—and the national outrage ignited after an ICE agent fatally shot U.S. citizen Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The brothers unpack what happened during the operation, the conflicting narratives from federal authorities and local witnesses, and why the shooting has sparked sustained protests, legal battles, and heated debate over immigration enforcement and civil rights.

    They also explore broader concerns about ICE enforcement tactics, including reports of controversial detentions and alleged racial profiling in the Twin Cities, and the political and cultural divides this has exposed in communities across the country.

    From there, the conversation shifts back to everyday life with the mix of humor and insight The Unemployment Line is known for, but always with a clear-eyed look at how these issues affect real people and communities. This episode is both a reflection and a call to think critically about power, policy, and personal freedom in America.

  • Behind the Scenes of Podcast Promotion and Monetization | Art of Storytelling

    Behind the Scenes of Podcast Promotion and Monetization | Art of Storytelling
    Jan 15 2026
    Welcome to Episode 1 of The Art of Storytelling, featuring LeTroy Gardner, Mario Washington, and Kin Lane. In this kickoff conversation, the trio introduces the mission of the series—taking you behind the scenes of what it really takes to build a podcast, promote it, monetize it, and consistently deliver content people actually want.

    With nearly 60 years of combined experience across radio, podcasting, tech, and marketing, the group breaks down how podcasting evolved alongside audience behavior, why on-demand content changed everything, and how creators and businesses can use podcasts as a modern marketing engine. They also get real about production challenges—outsourcing vs in-house editing, turnaround time, guest booking, and the hidden work behind “simple” content.

    A major theme of this episode is structure and feedback. Mario explains why many podcasts struggle without segment planning, pacing, and a consistent release schedule—plus how ad breaks and attention spans have long been studied in radio and still apply to podcasting today. Kin shares how feedback loops work in tech and why creators need both data (views, retention, subs) and real human input (surveys, comments, community conversations) to refine a show.

    You’ll also hear a breakdown of podcast formats—interview, narrative, and roundtable—what they cost, what they require, and how to choose one you can sustain. The episode closes with a practical conversation about burnout, getting out of your echo chamber, building breaks into your schedule, and embracing the long game—because the reps matter and growth takes time. 🎙️ In this episode
    • Podcasting vs radio and the shift to on-demand listening
    • Podcasting as marketing and brand storytelling
    • Why structure matters segment length ad breaks pacing
    • Feedback loops and building for casual listeners not just superfans
    • Picking platforms YouTube Shorts Spotify Apple and choosing battles
    • Interview vs narrative vs roundtable formats and what they demand
    • Consistency burnout prevention and scheduling breaks
