Hartglass & De Mattei, No Soft Serving the Truth

This episode features Caryn Hartglass and Gary De Mattei covering three big cultural flashpoints through an uncompromising, no-nonsense lens. Billie Eilish’s viral callout of meat-eaters — her blunt Instagram post, the predictable backlash, and what the ugly comments reveal about where we are as a society. A look at Suffs, the Broadway musical bringing the women’s suffrage movement back into the spotlight, and the hard-fought history behind the 19th Amendment and its connection to the animal rights movement. From there, the conversation shifts to the Equal Rights Amendment — still not enshrined in the Constitution over a century after it was first introduced, despite hitting the 38-state ratification threshold. After a discussion on rejuvenation and recharging when tired and frustrated with the long game of activism, they conclude with a segment on addiction, culture, and marketing. No softening, no sponsors to protect, just honest talk.
