Description

Reality and unscripted television are often anything but that. Join us in demanding that producers add a mandatory disclaimer before and after each episode, underscoring that episodes are for entertainment purposes only, and the content can be edited, manipulated, and presented in any order for storyline purposes. https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/add-a-disclaimer-to-all-reality-television-programming    On part two of our interview with comedian and musician Danny LoPriore, we're going to veer away from mental health and focus on the realm of politics.   During the “Ask Me Anything” section of our last episode, Danny asked me my thoughts on the Libertarian Party. This led to an unexpected discussion about the American political system, capitalism, and our strengths and weaknesses as a country. It is a very nuanced conversation about politics that manifested into its own episode.    Our conversation was not about right versus left. It's not about Libertarians, Democrats, Republicans, the Green Party, etc. It's about the issues that have stemmed from our political system from the perspective of two people who are living it every single day here in the United States, and I hope it helps you view the world of politics with your eyes wide open.

Are you going through life blind? This is Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson. On this show, we share knowledge and stories that build human connection while elevating stigmatized societal issues, including mental health, holistic wellness, culture, free speech, and more, all to ensure we show up in the world with our Eyes Wide Open. You may know Nick Thompson from his appearance on season two of Netflix’s hit reality show Love is Blind, but there’s a side of him you may not know: The Storyteller. Nick firmly believes that everyone has a story to tell, and is building a forum for people to share theirs openly and honestly. Nick doesn’t shy away from the hardball questions but facilitates a space where even people who disagree are comfortable sharing and learning from each other. Don't go through life blind.
