Welcome to the very first episode of the Blue Dot Dispatch Podcast—the political safe space for liberals stuck in conservative zip codes. Hosted by Micky Shearon, this inaugural episode features three unapologetic truth-tellers: Hood County Democratic Chair Adrienne Martin, retired investment banker and badass advocate Becky Heflin, and longtime local attorney and no-nonsense progressive George Freeman.
We dive straight into the deep end:
💥 How Texas turned from blue to crimson red
💥 Gerrymandering and voter suppression, the Texas way
💥 Why national Democrats often feel MIA (Spoiler: they are)
💥 Project 2025’s dystopian playbook—and how Texas got the preview
💥 The rise of cruelty as a political platform (yes, seriously)
💥 How hope still finds a way—and how we fight back
This episode is honest, irreverent, a little pissed off, and totally plugged in. If you’re a progressive looking for community, catharsis, and a plan to push back, you’ve found your people.
🗣️ “If you can be a liberal in Texas, you’re tough. You’ve got thick skin. And you’re not alone.”
