Ep2: Homelessness Unscripted: Common Ground in a Divided America | Billy Baldwin and Robert Marbut

In this episode of Bombardened, Eric and Amy sit down with two seemingly unlikely allies: Hollywood actor and activist Billy Baldwin and homelessness and addiction expert Dr. Robert Marbut.

Billy Baldwin, best known for his roles on screen, found himself drawn into the world of homelessness advocacy after preparing for a role in a film about life on the streets. That journey led to No Address, a feature film, and the subsequent documentary Americans With No Address.

Dr. Robert Marbut has spent decades advising cities and administrations—including the first Trump administration—on homelessness policy.  Despite their starkly different backgrounds and political identities, Billy and Robert forged a surprising friendship rooted in mutual respect and a shared desire to tackle America's homelessness and addiction crises head-on.

In this conversation, the four discuss how they met, their collaborative projects, and the critical importance of bridging political divides to create real solutions. It’s a rare, inspiring glimpse into what happens when compassion meets pragmatism—and when people actually listen to each other.
