At Our Table Podcast
@atourtable.bsky.social
At Our Table is a podcast hosted by @jaimeharrison.bsky.social, inviting America to pull up a seat for honest, unfiltered conversations about our nation’s challenges and hopes. We're glad you're here.
The only people in America with a constitutionally guaranteed right to health care are prisoners. I asked Rachel Maddow why that is. She says how we treat that person becomes the story of our nation.
This week's Sit Your Ass Down Award goes to Elon Musk, courtesy of Roger Wolfson. Great potential, he says, gone afoul by a system that empowers him too much. Nobody can slap him down, not even Trump: https://youtu.be/v-iyueS5Qoc
Roger Wolfson: From the Senate Floor to Hollywood | At Our Table
We sit down with Roger Wolfson to talk about storytelling, leadership, and why facts alone rarely change minds. A former Senate staffer, speechwriter, and Emmy-winning Hollywood writer, Roger brings a unique perspective shaped by careers in both politics and entertainment. We discuss what leaders can learn from great storytellers, why Democrats often struggle to connect with voters, and how authentic personal stories can inspire action in ways statistics never will. The conversation also explores misinformation, social media, artificial intelligence, and the growing challenge of helping people feel connected in an increasingly fragmented world. Roger's message is ultimately about hope: if leaders learn to communicate from the heart, they can rebuild trust, strengthen communities, and inspire a new generation to engage in public life. 00:00 Introduction & Why Stories Matter 02:00 Roger Wolfson's Political Origin Story 06:00 Working for Joe Lieberman, John Kerry & Ted Kennedy 08:00 Lessons from the Senate & Lindsey Graham 10:00 Paul Wellstone's Influence & Life-Changing Loss 11:00 Leaving Politics & Sailing Around the World 12:00 From Washington to Hollywood 15:00 The Work Ethic That Built a Screenwriting Career 18:00 Why Stories Move People More Than Facts 21:00 Great Storytellers in Politics 24:00 Cory Booker, John Lewis & Joe Biden 29:00 Storytelling as a Leadership Skill 32:00 The First Rule of Great Storytelling 36:00 What Is Blue Heartbeat? 40:00 Fighting Disinformation Through Storytelling 43:00 Building Connection in a Divided America 46:00 Jaime Harrison on Hope, Cynicism & Leadership 52:00 Rapid Fire Questions 55:00 The Sit Your Ass Down Award: Elon Musk 57:00 Who Are the Main Characters in American Politics? 59:00 AI, Social Media & The Future of Democracy 1:01:00 Final Thoughts & Blue Heartbeat Mission 1:02:00 Closing Remarks SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW: 🔔 Subscribe to At Our Table on YouTube: / @atourtablepodcast 📩 Newsletter: https://jaimeharrison.substack.com 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qSQSDL... 🌐 Website: https://www.aotpodcast.com FOLLOW JAIME HARRISON: Instagram: / harrisonjaime Twitter/X: / harrisonjaime Threads: https://threads.net/@harrisonjaime FOLLOW AT OUR TABLE: Instagram: / atourtableshow Twitter/X: / atourtableshow Threads: https://threads.net/@atourtableshow TikTok: / at.our.table Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/atourtable.b...

I asked Roger Wolfson what scares him most about social media. His answer: disinformation, and a business model built to atomize us into smaller and smaller groups until the only person you interact with is yourself: https://youtu.be/v-iyueS5Qoc

HRC President Kelley Robinson: Our Rights Are Fragile and the Clock Is Ticking | At Our Table
We’re joined by Kelley Robinson to talk about LGBTQ+ rights and the fight to decide who belongs in America. As the first Black queer woman to lead the Human Rights Campaign, she brings an organizer’s view of power rooted in community and story. We discuss anti-trans attacks, the fragility of Bostock and marriage equality, and HRC’s midterm investment, while confronting a hard truth: rights many people thought were settled remain vulnerable.

There are some dates you never forget. June 17, 2015 is one of them. In honor of Clem and the Emanuel Nine, I'm resharing my conversation with his eldest daughter, Eliana. Her grace is part of their enduring legacy. Clem would be so proud of her. https://youtu.be/DBoDxwm2mIo
The Charleston Massacre: Memory, Loss, and Legacy with Eliana Pinckney
We’re joined by Eliana Pinckney, daughter of the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney, to reflect on the Charleston massacre’s lasting impact and her father’s legacy of love, service, and civic duty. Eliana takes us back to being 11 and honors her mother’s quiet strength. She then talks about what it’s like to be part of the 9/11 generation shaped by gun violence, living with vigilance and exhaustion while “thoughts and prayers” continue to replace policy. We also talk about civic education, performative politics, and how Eliana turns art into activism and community into change.

CBC Chair Yvette Clarke: The Supreme Court Is Gutting Black Voting Rights | At Our Table
Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York talks with us about the fight over representation and whether American democracy can withstand a coordinated effort to weaken voting rights. The chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and daughter of Jamaican immigrants reflects on an upbringing shaped by activism and argues that democracy is endangered both by those who undermine it and by those who lose faith in it.

DOGE Gave Your Private Data to Groups Trying to Steal Elections | At Our Table
We sit down with Skye Perryman to talk about what happens when democratic institutions are tested and ordinary citizens are forced to defend them. A lawyer who left corporate practice to help build Democracy Forward, she explains how her organization has challenged government actions in court while uncovering allegations involving DOGE, Social Security data, and election-related activities. We discuss voting rights and why legal victories alone are not enough. She says the future of American democracy will depend on whether people demand change rather than waiting for institutions to save them. 00:00 — Introduction: Who Is Skye Perryman & Democracy Forward 03:54 — How Democracy Forward Fights Back (And Wins) 09:17 — The DOGE/SSA Bombshell: Your Data, Their Election Scheme 14:08 — DOJ Misrepresentations & the Collapse of Court Trust 15:30 — Congress, the Courts & What Comes Next 21:42 — The Supreme Court, Voting Rights & the Callais Decision 23:16 — The People Are the Power: History, Hope & Direct Action 27:19 — SYAD Award 29:04 — Closing & Skye's Upcoming Book SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW: 🔔 Subscribe to At Our Table on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AtOurTablePodcast 📩 Newsletter: https://jaimeharrison.substack.com 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/at-our-table-with-jaime-harrison/id1826169382 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qSQSDL4yDCGVsKT3fFedA 🌐 Website: https://www.aotpodcast.com FOLLOW JAIME HARRISON: Instagram: https://instagram.com/HarrisonJaime Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HarrisonJaime Threads: https://threads.net/@harrisonjaime FOLLOW AT OUR TABLE: Instagram: https://instagram.com/AtOurTableShow Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/AtOurTableShow Threads: https://threads.net/@atourtableshow TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@At.Our.Table Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/atourtable.bsky.social FOLLOW DEMOCRACY FORWARD & SKYE PERRYMAN: LinkedIn: @SkyePerryman Bluesky: @skyeperryman.bsky.social Twitter/X: @DemocracyFwd / @SkyePerryman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/democracyforward Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DemocracyFwd/ #AtOurTable #JaimeHarrison #DOGE #SocialSecurity #VotingRights #Democracy #DemocracyForward #SkyePerryman #DOJ #ElectionIntegrity #DataPrivacy
