America's entering a period of extreme chaos, and I think it is time to start asking what should America begin again?

The United States is more divided than ever, which has led a group of activists in California to make a radical proposal to leave.

I'm Shutezka, and this is The Last Resort, a new podcast about CalXA.

Listen to The Last Resort on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or whatever you get your podcasts.

Hey, I'm Maria Fernanda-Theis, and I want to invite you to check out my podcast, When You're Invisible.

I'm a first-gen daughter of Mexican immigrants who started off on food stamps and got to the Ivy Leagues.

Because of my experiences and my families, I've become a lover of people and stories that don't get told.

And that's what this podcast is for.

Being looked over, people see you silhouette of a person, and not the actual person.

Listen to one you're invisible.

On the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Rob, do you want to do this first one from David?

Sure, this one comes to us from David, and this is what David has to say. Hello there, Robert Joe, and Seth.

I am a sixth grade English teacher in North Texas, and wanted to thank you guys for providing such great content.

Our curriculum in my school district includes a section about science fiction, and we read the terrific short story, Key Item by Isaac Asimov.
