About Matters of Consequence

It's hard to act when the stakes are high. Matters of Consequence talks to those who did anyway. The result: raw, emotional conversations with those who act when it matters; whether their choices are ambitious and visible or small, local, and quietly radical. We don’t talk about polished success stories or easy answers. We talk about what it feels like to care, to struggle, and to take responsibility in situations that are complex and unresolved. This is a space for real voices, real tension, and the uncomfortable places where growth lives. No fixed format. No frameworks. Just lived experience in all its honesty, letting conversations unfold as they need to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

episode How can you hate me when you don’t even know me? artwork

How can you hate me when you don’t even know me?

In this episode of Matters of Consequence, host Michael Hanf speaks with Daryl Davis, a blues musician who has spent decades engaging with members of the Ku Klux Klan. His approach is not to confront or condemn, but to listen. Through these conversations, Daryl has convinced over 200 Klansmen to leave the organization and renounce their hatred. What does it take to sit across from someone who sees the world so differently? How does a single conversation challenge deeply held beliefs? And what happens when the person you are trying to understand is the one who ends up changing you? This is a conversation about the power of dialogue, the weight of history, and the quiet, persistent work of unlearning hatred one conversation at a time. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Cost of Unconditional Trust and How It Breaks

In this episode of Matters of Consequence, host Michael Hanf speaks with River Selby about their seven years as a wildland firefighter, a job that demanded absolute trust in a system that often failed to protect its people. They talk about the physical and emotional toll of the Fireline, where exhaustion and fear are suppressed for survival, and where the culture of silence leaves little room for reckoning. They talk about the moments when trust in your crew becomes a matter of life or death, and what happens when that trust is betrayed. And they talk about the quiet aftermath, when the adrenaline fades and the weight of what was carried finally surfaces. A conversation about responsibility, the cost of silence, and the unresolved questions of doing work that demands everything but gives little in return. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Story Behind the Story

In 2019, after 22 years in for-profit political media, David Myers left his role at CQ Roll Call to launch The Fulcrum, a nonprofit media platform focused on democracy reform. In 2025, he joined OpenSecrets, where he now leads media and communications, exposing the role of money in U.S. politics. In this conversation, we talk about the shift from ad-driven journalism to impact-driven work. We talk about the challenges of building transparency in a system where money often dictates narratives, the practical work of collecting and analyzing data, and the future of journalism in an era of declining local news and rising dark money. A conversation about responsibility, the cost of integrity, and the unresolved questions of building journalism that serves democracy. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
