THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC

The conversation moves through literary influence first, reflecting on the Beat generation and the restless, observational force of writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg . From there, it shifts into photography, examining the impact of William Klein — the New York street photographer whose raw, kinetic style helped redefine fashion imagery and visual storytelling — alongside Annie Leibovitz...

This episode of The PODCVST goes straight at power, contradiction, and the things polite people prefer not to say. Tyler starts with Karen Bass : a political figure whose story raises one of the most fascinating questions in Los Angeles politics. How do you go from revolutionary politics to City Hall? How do you go from the police watching you to the police shielding you? Tyler breaks down what th...

This is a session about the usual stuff. Complants about skidrow, drugs, homeslessness, politics, social media, and being too tired to actually care. But the Session got done so...yeah.

In this session of THE PODCVST , I address a distinction that has become increasingly difficult for people to make in public discourse: the difference between Islam as a religion, Muslims as individuals, and extremism as a political, cultural, and ideological problem. This episode is not an attack on all Muslims. It is a direct rejection of the lazy thinking that treats an entire faith community a...

In this episode, I recount the night I lost my apartment during the hurricane in New Jersey. From the early morning pounding at the door as neighbors came knocking, to wading through flood water in the dark, this is a personal reflection on fear, confusion, displacement, and survival. What began as one devastating night became a chain of events that carried me from New Jersey to New York, and even...

In this episode of THE PODCVST , I move through three interconnected subjects: the Financial Identity Photo Protection Act (FIPP) , the reality of Skid Row , and the question of mental health within unstable environments . I begin with a broader discussion of FIPP , the policy proposal and why identity, financial security, and institutional accountability deserve far more serious public attention....

Homelessness is not a mystery. It is the predictable outcome of fragmented systems that do not speak to one another. In this episode of The PODCVST, I lay out a structured solution for California: No nonsense drug rehabilitation, workforce reintegration, and a work-to-expungement framework coordinated at the state level. Not charity. Not slogans. Policy with accountability. Built for California. A...

The January 6th rioters are coming...for politics.

Jack Doohan’s quiet fall from Alpine raises questions about F1’s driver development. SailGP continues to deliver high-speed drama, but is anyone outside the water watching? In Gaza, a grotesque media moment unfolds as journalists eat in front of starving children. We wrap with a light dip into politics, measured, not militant.

Mickey 17 is the first Bong Joon-ho movie I’ve ever seen—and wow, what a way to start. Clones. Death. Space. Robert Pattinson.

This week on THE PODCVST , we’re diving deep into the flawed idea behind Jeff Nippard's “$10 vs $100 a Day” fitness challenge. 💥 We’ll break down why the $10/day fitness budget theory doesn’t work for everyone and why it's a bit of a stretch, especially for those who don’t have the luxury of high-end meal prep and gym memberships. But hey, I’ve managed to pull it off occasionally, so I’m sharing...

A DCA helicopter crash collides with an American Airlines plane , adding another layer of chaos to an already turbulent time. Meanwhile, as Gaza lies in ruins , the joke is on the so-called “pro-Hamas” protesters—turns out, they completely misread the situation.
