Wolves and Children is about how that happens. In this episode, I follow the money, the lobbying playbook, and the legal arguments that shape the laws parents are told will protect their children. It is about what stands between harm and public understanding, and how easily accountability can be rewritten before most people even know the fight is happening.
I’m incredibly grateful to Brody Mullins, Julia Duncan, Sarah Gardner, and Lennon Torres for being part of this episode. Their contributions gave it depth, credibility, and heart. Brody helped expose the machinery behind corporate influence. Julia helped illuminate what families lose when accountability is preempted or buried. Sarah brought a clear-eyed view of the broader system of tech complicity. And Lennon brought lived truth to a debate too often manipulated in the abstract.
I learned a lot from each of them, and I’m thankful they trusted this project enough to be part of it.
