We are now standing on the precipice of history. Powerful political and cultural forces are seeking to upend western liberal democracies and the freedoms we so often take for granted. Few people understand what’s at stake quite like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

After a dramatic escape from a strict Islamic upbringing in Somalia, she found refuge in the Netherlands where she became an elected member of the Dutch Parliament. Now a celebrated author and activist, Ayaan has devoted her life to defending western values against threats from Islamic fundamentalism and more recently, far left progressive ideology.

Part of her Courage.Media platform, The Ayaan Hirsi Ali podcast explores how anti-western, anti-liberal movements are taking root in our politics, our schools, and our communities. On this podcast, Ayaan invites a variety of world-renowned guests to discuss these issues in great depth with her, and we hope you enjoy listening.

Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards and co-host Robin Rauzi talk about the fundamentals of the economy and how to build a better future one problem and solution at a time. Our premise is that the United States has remarkable economy — and yet for tens of millions of Americans it is not performing up to its potential. It could be more open to aspiring workers, less hostile to change, safer for workers, less risky for retirees, and so on.

Welcome to Blue Dog Radio, a podcast that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what really matters. Across the country, one honest conversation at a time.

This show is a traveling exploration of American values. Recorded in D.C. living rooms, front porches, union halls, and small-town diners with the people who still believe in doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. 

We sit down with current members of Congress, emerging candidates, and everyday Americans who carry the burden of common sense in an age of dysfunction.

At its core, Blue Dog Radio is about community, character, and commitment. 

We are rooted in the belief that politics should serve real people in real places, and that truth, decency, and good faith still matter.

Whether you're from the Gulf Coast, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest plains or the Maine woods, this is a show about finding common ground and reminding ourselves what we’re trying to build, together.
