Feminist Hotdog is back! In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking to writer Jessica Hoppe about her experience as a first-generation Latina woman with Indigenous roots navigating the recovery landscape. Jessica is using her storytelling skills—and what she learned from getting and staying sober during the Trump era, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent uprisings in defense of Black lives—to talk about why recovery communities must acknowledge and address racism in healing spaces. Whether recovery is part of your life or not, you won’t want to miss out on Jessica's wisdom or her inspiring story! (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
