In this eye-opening episode, Aria is joined by special guest Rachel Blackfyre to examine the troubling rise in public displays of transphobia. Together, they analyze recent incidents where transgender people have been harassed in everyday spaces like grocery stores, and explore how political rhetoric has created an environment where such behavior feels increasingly permissible.

In this explosive episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria DiMezzo and Rich E. Rich expose the devastating reality behind the Trump Administration's deportation policies targeting El Salvador. We break down how these deportations violate constitutional protections and international law, sending vulnerable people directly into dangerous situations where torture and human rights abuses are documented.
In this raw and revealing episode of Free Talk Cast, host Aria DiMezzo sits down with Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins for an unfiltered conversation about their separate journeys through the federal prison system. Both share candid accounts of daily life behind bars, the dehumanizing aspects of incarceration, and the unexpected ways prison transformed their perspectives and priorities.
Whether you're interested in criminal justice reform, pr...
In this introspective solo episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria DiMezzo explores the mind-bending contrast between the vastness of our universe and the microscopic scale of human existence. Moving beyond astronomical facts, this episode challenges us to reconsider our priorities in light of cosmic reality.
Why do we fixate on trivial conflicts and petty grievances when we're temporary inhabitants of a tiny planet in an incomprehensibly ...
After Rob Roselli called evolution a "scam" in our previous encounter, I couldn't let it slide. In this passionate follow-up discussion to episode 32, we dive deep into the origins of the universe, natural selection, and the nature of reality itself. For over an hour, I break down the evidence for evolution, explain the majesty and scale of our universe, and examine what we actually mean when discussing 'the beginning' of existence...
In this gripping episode of Free Talk Cast, I'm joined by deep state expert Rob Roselli to explore the shadowy forces allegedly controlling America's government and economy. We dive into the Federal Reserve's role in creating inflation, examine how unelected powers may have seized control of crucial institutions, and debate whether these systems are by design or by accident.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as we briefly v...
In this unexpectedly eye-opening episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria DiMezzo and Nikki Sunshine sit down with Nathan and Emily Berning, founders of the Let Them Live Foundation. What begins as a conversation intended to showcase opposing viewpoints on abortion transforms into a fascinating exploration of finding common ground on one of society's most divisive issues.

In this thought-provoking episode of Free Talk Cast, I welcome Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries to explore a refreshingly different perspective on the divine. Moving beyond the stern, judgmental deity often portrayed in mainstream Christianity, Mark presents a vision of God filled with mirth, joy, and laughter. Our conversation challenges conventional religious narratives as Mark shares insights from his ministry work and script...
Well, Trump is president now. Libertarians sold their votes to Donald Trump to free Ross Ulbricht. That isn't a criticism. Aria admits she was going to do the same thing, and only didn't because her boyfriend was in the hospital. But... she's glad she didn't. The horrors we've already seen from the Trump Administration... Richie Rich points out that we didn't necessarily get equivalent authoritarianism with Trump.
The LPNH has a messaging problem. They have several messaging problems, actually. This week, Aria sits down with Rachel and Spencer to talk about those problems, and the prospect of having new leadership in the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire.
Treating human beings like cars is kinda strange when you stop to think about it. Just like when you buy a new car and have to register it with the government, you're supposed to register your new child with the government. And that... is crazy and a little sick. This week, Aria and Nikki talk about this, and the myth that it's something that is actually critical to do shortly after the birth.
Following the catastrophe that was losing an entire episode recorded with Richie Rich, Aria sits down and goes back over the information that was discussed in the Lost Episode--the greatest episode in the history of podcasts. Aria talks about the Crypto 6 case, the plea agreements, the motions to dismiss, her reluctant plea deal, and finally Ian's upcoming appeal. If you're curious about federal court and that process, this episode...
Why does your employer provide your health insurance? And why does it cost you money instead of actually being a perk of employment? How do tax brackets factor into this? And why do we support the insurance industry when it is a game of calculated fraud where the only way for the company to be profitable is to violate its agreement with you? This and more as Aria sits down with Rich E. Rich for another fantastic episode of Free Tal...
Some people are toxic. Even if the people themselves aren't toxic, your relationship with them can be. Some people just bring out the worst in each other. Some people aren't meant to be in each other's lives. Friends, family, lovers... If a relationship is toxic or abusive, it has to be put to an end. In this episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria and Nikki talk about toxic relationships, toxic family members, drawing boundaries, and endi...
Why is cryptocurrency exploding right now? The answer may surprise you.
This episode is late because I thought my mixer died. When I finally got the chance today to dig out my replacement, I learned that the power supply actually died. That's great, because that's a much cheaper fix. Anyway, we apologize for the delay; there was a hardware failure.
We love you all!
In this followup to last week's episode, Nikki and Aria talk about the nuances of definition, and the importance of understanding things. We dive into the idea of the Mathematician's Answer, an answer or definition that is technically correct but completely useless under the circumstances. Finally, we talk about the importance of recognizing boundaries and not violating people's sacred spaces.
Join Aria and Nikki this week as we sit down to ask what could be a very important--or very pointless--question that a lot of people have discussed over the last few years: What is a woman?
The answers given may surprise you.
Isn't it also curious that no one is asking: What is a man?
What do you do when the world is coming to an end? Well, there's only one thing to do:
Panic.
And keep panicking. Don't stop until everything is better.
Controlling your emotions. Owning the self. Managing one's reactions, and therefore one's destiny. These things aren't easy. Sometimes we want to be angry, we want to be scared, we want to be upset. How can we combat these paradoxical desires and live rationally and responsibly, choosing forgiveness and love while owning our actions and behavior? This week, Aria and Nikki sit down to discuss these complex issues.
Aria & Nikki talk about the newly launched freeiannow.org, Ian's status in federal prison, and Ian's upcoming lengthy appeal process. Ian's facility is currently under lockdown, and inmates have no access to phones, email, or even visits.
