THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC

I’ve already started building a digital version of myself through my creative work and social media. But if I could create a biological clone, what kind of life would that person go on to live? In this session of THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC, I imagine two lives unfolding in parallel. In one, I get married, raise two children and a stepchild, and show up for the ordinary parts of being a dad. In the o...

This podcast was made with no studio. No production team. No polished panel of experts pretending they already know the answers. Today's session is about walking away from the traditional workforce, not because I don't want to work, but because I no longer want to spend my life working a regular job. I'm talking about moving full steam ahead into politics, pursuing something I genuinely want to bu...

I've been away from the mic for a bit focusing my attention on trying to find a new place to live and working quite a bit but I'm back now and here's a quick three month recap of the Los Angeles Primaries, World Cup, and much more.

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...

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...

Homelessness is not a mystery. It is the predictable outcome of fragmented systems that do not speak to one another.

Not charity. Not slogans. Policy with accountability. Built for California. A...
