His current project investigates the contentious topic of gender identity in the upcoming docuseries Uncomfortable Truths: The Reality of Gender Identity Ideology.

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 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.

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.   Keep up with Frank on Substack: https://chalkboardheresy.substack.com/   And on X: https://x.com/CBHeresy?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.   — LEARN MORE ABOUT MANU AND BRIDGEUSA —  Manu's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manumeel_/  BridgeUSA: https://www.bridgeusa.org/  Start Your Own Chapter: https://www.bridgeusa.org/start-a-chapter/  Bridge USA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BridgeUSA1  BridgeUSA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgeusa_/    — LISTEN TO CYLINDER RADIO — Podcast: https://cylinderradio.libsyn.com/  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cylinder-radio/id1448662116  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ACgZ7hMoBuuC1cmc9oLoP    — CHECK OUT MY FREEBIES — Debate To Dialogue: https://www.williamreusch.com/debatetodialogue The Social Solution: https://www.williamreusch.com/socialsolution Free Critical Thinking Curriculum: https://www.williamreusch.com/criticalthinking   — SUPPORT MY WORK — My Website: https://www.williamreusch.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/willreusch Instagram: https://instagram.com/willreusch

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.   — LEARN MORE ABOUT CALVIN —  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvinlunt/  Calvin's Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5SYWRgcEvFnO0IHw5PBLFW    — CHECK OUT MY FREEBIES — Debate To Dialogue: https://www.cylinderradio.com/debatetodialogue The Social Solution: https://www.cylinderradio.com/socialsolution   — TIMESTAMPS —  0:00 Intro 4:58 Calvin's childhood 10:46 Introduction to Drag 13:50 Beginning to play with gender 18:24 Beginning to transition  22:38 Medical transition 24:54 The complexity of identification   27:16 The dangers of socially rewarding LGBTQ children 34:17 Puberty Blockers 39:46 Calvin's experience with hormones 45:24 Is pushing transgenderism actually homophobic?  52:12 Outro   — LISTEN TO CYLINDER RADIO — Podcast: https://cylinderradio.libsyn.com/  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cylinder-radio/id1448662116  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ACgZ7hMoBuuC1cmc9oLoP    — SUPPORT MY WORK — My Website: https://www.cylinderradio.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/willreusch Instagram: https://instagram.com/willreusch
