Spearheaded by veteran activists and award-winning creators, Jim & Tiffany Drastic of Eleven Films, and Nick Knudsen, executive director of DemCast USA, this weekly pro-democracy broadcast stands as a bold alternative to the typical mainstream media Sunday morning news carousel. Each episode ignites the airwaves with candid and uncensored discussions sparked by callers to their hotline, dubbed 'The People’s Hotline.' It serves as a powerful conduit for the voices of everyday Americans to sound off on how the current administration and its policies are impacting their lives and often their mental wellbeing. Jim, Tiffany, and Nick take great pride in amplifying these stories and, whenever possible, provide actionable solutions that harness the power of organizing, protesting, digital activism, and creative content creation. Beyond the Sunday morning show, The Dangerous Ones create daily viral video content that focuses on breaking political and cultural news with their unique, hard-hitting style. They also craft in-depth articles for their successful Substack, 'The Teal and Orange Report'—named after the colors of their logo. Subscribers to The Teal and Orange Report enjoy exclusive access to videos, articles, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content. Produced by their company, TDO Media, in the creative district of Portland, Oregon, The Dangerous Ones is more than a podcast—it’s America’s people-driven, pro-democracy, alternative media powerhouse.   ***** The Dangerous Ones Podcast: New episodes every Sunday, 8AM Eastern/5AM Pacific on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all major podcast apps.  The People’s Hotline: 503-212-4600 (24/7 leave msg.)
