We need to have better conversations around technology and how to best move forward. Topics covered include AI, Neuralink putting chips in brains, and the dangers of a more digital world.
Travis Brown is a visiting fellow at Danube Institute, the president of a non-profit, and an international filmmaker and commentator known for his thought-provoking docuseries 'The Woke Reformation.' His current project investigates the contentious topic of gender identity in the upcoming docuseries Uncomfortable Truths: The Reality of Gender Identity Ideology.
The Topic of Gender is perhaps the most polarizing among the culture wars and that may be because it mirrors many elements of religious belief.

In this episide Will breaks down the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard to the Head of National Security. In his efforts to challenge his own bias, Will shares what a friend in the CIA had to say while also addressing why he believes she is an important person to have as a leader for America.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS STORY...
Diego Arellan shares his heart-wrenching story. From losing his father at a young age to emigrating to America- never feeling "normal" and rather believed he was born in the wrong body and of the wrong gender.
After surgeries and a transition to being a woman, he found himself feeling incredibly empty and hopeless. He had money, friends, and a lot of positive attention, but he was still in a very dark place. At rock bottom, he called out to God and asked to be saved... And he WAS!
His process of detransitioning was difficult but he knew it was to get him back to who he was meant to be. Now he is getting tremendous hate and criticism from BOTH the Trans community & many Christian conservatives.
Listen to this incredible story that is still unfolding at the time of recording.

In this episode Will covers the NJ (and other places) drone sightings and discusses topics like government transparency, possible threats, and how to earn trust back.
Two cases where individuals stepped in to kill someone they percieved as a threat to the weak & marginalized have divided America. When is taking justice into your own hands justified and when isn't it? How are these cases and individuals similar? What is being ignored and what is being highlighted? These are the topics Will dives into in this episode of Cylinder Radio
In this short podcast I break down the conundrum of how we simultaneously act in a way that provides extra resources to our own children while recognizing this is not how we want society to be run. I share a story of a former student and discuss Mark DeFriest as examples of the two-tiered justice system and how it is both a waste and a loss to our society.
In the chaotic post-George Floyd time in America, Fank McCormick, a widely recognized excellent teacher at a very low-income, high-risk school began to speak out when DEI, CRT, and other dangerous ideologies began being directly taught to his students.
Teachers that were willing to publicly speak out during that time were very rare, and in this conversation, Will & Frank discuss what led them to do that. Also, topics covered are: what good education looks like, dangerous "woke" ideas permeating schools, and how to foster an environment of curiosity and dialogue rather than obedience to an activist agenda.

Joe Rogan's podcast applies several elements of what Socrates promoted including questions and dialectic. This has led to the Joe Rogan Experience being a hub for learning and we all can apply this to our own journey of knowledge and the search for truth.
With the new Trump administration discussing radical changes to the Department of Education, perhaps even eliminating the department completely, it is important to dive into why that would be a popular thing to push for. Corey DeAngelis has been the primary voice for school choice for many years and he is very knowledgeable on the department, so he returns to Cylinder Radio to discuss!
Corey is a senior fellow at the American Culture Project. He has been labeled the “school choice evangelist” and called “the most effective school choice advocate since Milton Friedman.” He is a regular on Fox News and frequently appears in The Wall Street Journal.
With so much enthusiasm around Trump & his team of "Avengers", we must be careful not to hold double standards. Trump has a history of poor behavior and Elon Musk in undoubtedly self-serving.

In this episode, Will discusses Diddy, Jeffery Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and the trends we are seeing with more clarity about the ultra-powerful people on scoety and the way they use their lack of societal guardrails.
This is my nuanced take on the film that tackles the issues I have been discussing for years.
In this episode, Will and Angel discuss Angel's lifelong journey away from faith while Will has had a lifelong journey towards it. Angel lays out all of the reasons why he develops moral codes and an understanding of consciousness & the universe outside of Religion. The intention of Will, as a believer, is to better understand the reasoning that someone (he respects) has arrived at the opposite end of such a major element of the human experience- why/how we are here & how we are called to behave.

This is a conversation I had today with a frequent commenter on my Instagram account. While it was not as productive, as I would have hoped, I believe that a primary reason why it didn’t evolve into angry, personal attacks and ugliness is because I maintained a commitment to my “three pillars” of humility, genuine, curiosity, and grace .
The conversation was about politics and at the core of it, I believe that disagreements or misunderstandings about the difference between objectivity and subjectivity are the root of disagreement . Whether it be due to ego, ideological possession, or something else…
Applying the strategies that I breakdown in my free guide “Debate to Dialogue” helped maintain a sense of TRYING to be productive. Check it out at www.williamreusch.com/debatetodialogue

In episode #156 of Cylinder Radio, I speak with organisational educator and friend of mine, Tuli Skaist about how we can approach the Isreal-Palestine conflict with more nuance, empathy and understanding.
Tuli shares his personal story and perspective on the conflict, coming from an ultra-orthodox Jewish background and having spent many years of his life growing up and working in Isreal. We talk about the long and confusing history of the land as well as the conflicts and wars that have been fought for the last 100 years until the modern day. Despite the difficulty, we try to map out a way forward that is founded on grace, understanding and a desire for long-lasting peace.

In this solo episode of Cylinder Radio, I delve into a topic that I've been thinking about a lot lately: navigating comment sections on social media. I explore the different ways that I choose to actively engage with comments. I address the lack of humility and arrogance that people convey in comments as well as the insults and personal attacks that seem to be the norm for almost any online landscape today. Lastly, I dive into my strategies for dealing with these types of comments on my own content. Let me know your thoughts!!

In this episode, I speak with former CIA case officer Art Keller about conspiracy theories. Today, Art is a freelance journalist, commentator and author, being published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, CBS, and many more. There are few things that get as much attention on my social media platforms as conspiracy theories so I’m excited to have had the chance to pick Art’s brain on the topic.
During the episode, we speak about questions such as: What kind of people does the CIA look for? And how did Art end up in the CIA? He shares his personal experience with the Iraq invasion as well as his perspective on a variety of different “conspiracy theories” such as the deep state, Jeffrey Epstein, 9/11 and the JFK assassination. Lastly, we discuss what people can do to test conspiracy theories for themselves.

For this episode, I thought I would sit down and do a solo episode since that is what a lot of people seem to have been asking for. I want to take on current topics that are relevant or controversial and do a deep dive to highlight different perspectives and viewpoints on said topics.
For today, I thought I’d start with the concept of the deep state because that always gets people talking. In the episode, I covered questions like what or who is the deep state and whether the deep state is just normal human nature. I do a deep dive into Trump and how he has affected our nation’s perception of the deep state. I talk about how the anti-establishment has changed drastically over the last few decades and how we can move forward towards a less corrupt future.
Let me know what your thoughts are on these solo podcasts and if you have any topics that you’d like me to dive into in upcoming episodes!

On this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with Manu Meel, the CEO of BridgeUSA, a youth-led non-profit organization that creates spaces on college and high school campuses for open-minded and non-judgemental conversations on political issues.
I think it’s a really important challenge to take on and BridgeUSA is doing an awesome job at tackling it so I wanted to have him on the podcast to learn more and share his work with my platform.
During our conversation, we talk about how BridgeUSA started, why Manu felt called to insert himself into the culture wars and why he thinks he was able to “resist” the temptation of going after material success and external rewards over meaning.
We also discuss how to get young people to break out of their thought bubbles and if echo chambers are part of human nature or not. Lastly, we talk about what makes people actually take action to change something within our society and what you can do to start your own BridgeUSA chapter if you are at a high school or college in the US.

We talk about how I deal with online haters and troll who come after me for my behavior and opinions as well as how important it is to adopt a mindset that is not based on one single identity or belief.
We dive into detail on the importance of criticial thinking and the current problems in our school system. And last but not least, I share some personal reflections on why I decided to step into this social media/entrepreneur role, what my journey to faith has been like and what advice I would give to keep your relationship successful and healthy.

On this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with Calvin Lunt, a young man from the UK who formerly lived as a trans-woman and has since transitioned back to living as his birth gender. Calvin shares the story of how spirituality and self-discovery helped him come to terms with himself and finally break free from the masks he wore to escape from his own self-hatred.
He shares the story of his childhood, how we slowly stepped into the world of drag and with time, started identifying as transgender. He talks about desire to keep running from himself and taking his escapism to higher and higher extremes. He then touches on his experience with transitioning and how he finally realised that he wasn’t actually a trans woman , he was a gay man.
Lastly, we discuss the dangers of socially rewarding LGBTQ children, whether puberty blockers are really irreversible and if pushing transgenderism is actually an ingrained form of homophobia.

Today I’m talking to Ari David who is the founder of Upward News, a news organization that I use a lot to get good quality and quick news on social media.
During our conversation, we talk how how and why Ari started his independent news organization as well as how they research, write and publish their news. We discuss the corruption within mainstream media, why it’s so difficult to fund a media business without becoming corrupt and why mainstream media has become so left-leaning.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, my guest is Alice Crenshaw. Alice works for Equal Means Equal, an organization that is dedicated to the publication of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which I don’t think is talked about enough.
During our conversation, we talk about why the Equal Rights Amendment is needed today and how it would protect everyone’s rights regardless of gender. We explore various different viewpoints and arguments for and against the ERA, such as the abortion issue, men’s paternity cases, transgender issues and the gender pay gap. We also talk a lot about how the military is actually much more progressive and diverse than most people give it credit for.
Lastly, Alice shares a ton of resources that you can check out if you are interested in supporting the ERA. You’ll find all the links below!
Hope you enjoy the episode and get a deeper insight into the ERA,

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to a close friend of mine about her journey from being pro-choice and having abortions herself to being fully pro-life today.
In the episode, Michelle tells the story of how she went from being a passionate pro-choice advocate to changing her mind and being pro-life. She talks about her own experience with having multiple abortions, everything that she wasn’t told, what the procedures were like and how much of an emotional toll it took on her.
We discuss how her past/childhood contributed to her being “broken” and how faith helped her heal and arrive where she is today. We also get into the nuance of abortion in situations of disabilities and other genetic factors as well as explore what we can do to minimize abortions overall.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to Henry Brechter, the editor in-chief of All Sides, an incredible news organization aiming to shine light on media bias. I wanted to have Henry on because I believe their work is incredibly important and a lot of people would side with it if they knew about it.
During the episode we talk about the approach that All Sides takes to try to counter media bias, the overall media landscape and how biased journalism & reporting (even though bias is natural) impacts all of us in one way or another.
We also discuss how ownership can influence media coverage, how capitalism influences the making of news and the future of legacy media.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to Don Alexander, screenwriter and author of his new book The Shackles of a Freeman. The book is a thought-provoking historical fiction novel about Lewis Leary, a free black man who fought back against slavery in the 1850s.
During the episode, Don and I discuss the life of Lewis Leary, the history of Harpers Ferry and the anti-slavery movement. We talk about what we can learn from inspiring historical figures that we don’t often hear about and what it takes for people to choose to fight for social causes that they’re not personally affected by.
We also dive into the “idea” of America. We talk about how far we have come as a nation AND how far we still have to go. Plus we discuss the state of modern filmmaking and the future of modern storytelling.

During our conversation, we talked about Gary’s medical background and how we arrived at a place of using both a traditional medicine approach and what he calls “lifestyle medicine”. We discuss why the medical field can seem so misguided, why pharmaceuticals are so interconnected with medicine and our thoughts on the response to Covid-19. How can we scale good medicine? And what are the benefits and risks of psychedelic medicine? Listen to find out!

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to farmer, butcher, nutritionist and host of the Mind, Body and Soil podcast Kate Kavanaugh. I’ve been following Kate’s content for a long time and have previously been on her podcast so I knew I wanted to have her on Cylinder Radio to share her amazing knowledge and wisdom with all of us.
During the episode, we talk about how disconnected modern society has become from out food production and how this is strongly correlated with our general trend towards fragility. We discuss the horrors of factory farming and how regenerative agriculture is the way forward. How can we scale ethical farming to feed everyone? Does some animal life matter more than others? And what can we do to develop a mindset and lifestyle to be more connected and in tune with nature and reality?
I really enjoyed this episode and I hope you will as well!

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to Leah Scott. She is a student and a youth advocate who went through an impactful transition process or became “red-pilled” from her previous woke echo chamber.
We talk about how she started pushing back against the woke narrative and how voicing her own thoughts resulted in being called names and being ostracised from her social groups. We touch on the different nuances within the race debate and stress the importance of viewpoint diversity since both liberal and conservative ideas can be tremendously valuable to our society.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, Will talks to Johnny Elsasser. Johnny is a former army ranger turned men’s life strategist who now hosts The Art Of Masculinity Podcast.
During the conversation, Johnny shares how when he returned to “normal” society after 10 years of military service and hostile environments, he lacked a real sense of purpose and meaning that the army had provided before. He shares what it was that finally helped him take a look within and fundamentally changed the way he looked at himself and masculinity as a whole.
Johnny and Will talk about the important of authenticity, how to actually find your authentic self in simple and straightforward steps, what we can do to set our systems up to produce authentic men and why it’s so important for men to learn to open up and talk to each other.

During our conversation, we speak about a shared teaching project that Brittney and I did during the Covid-19 remote teaching time.

She tells her story of living and working in Kenya, the many misconceptions about African countries and what African immigrants think about American conceptualisations of “race”.
We also dive into the differences between African-American and African cultures, why it is important to remember that EVERYONE can have thoughts of racism and the crucial importance of travel to dispel such ignorance.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with medical student and pro-choice social media influencer Bronte Remsik. You might know Bronte when she joined Micheal Knowles in an interview to debate abortion. (Link to the interview below!)
In this interview, I wanted to speak with Bronte and attempt to cover the issue of abortion with more nuance and curiosity. We speak about what went wrong in her debate with Micheal Knowles and flesh out many different aspects of the pro-choice vs pro-life debate, such as having access to help, the impact of casual sex and our self-centred culture.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak to comedian, podcaster and writer Jamie Kilstein who has developed his thinking in a very public way over the last few years. Because his story aligns so closely with the mission of Cylinder Radio, I thought he would be the perfect guest to talk about his life and how we got to where he is today.
During the episode, we speak about Jamie’s story of being a liberal and how he slowly came to questions all of his beliefs. We talk about how his thinking process developed, where he thinks that change came from and how aspects of religion and psychedelics helped him open his mind to change.
