The Dangerous Ones Podcast

The Dangerous Ones isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement. Spearheaded by veteran activists and award-winning creators, Jim & Tiffany Drastic of Eleven Films, and Nick Knudsen, executive director of DemCast USA, this weekly pro-democracy broadcast stands as a bold alternative to the typical mainstream media Sunday morning news carousel. Each episode ignites the airwaves with candid and uncensored discussions sparked by callers to their hotline, dubbed ’The People’s Hotline.’ It serves as a powerful conduit for the voices of everyday Americans to sound off on how the current administration and its policies are impacting their lives and often their mental wellbeing. Jim, Tiffany, and Nick take great pride in amplifying these stories and, whenever possible, provide actionable solutions that harness the power of organizing, protesting, digital activism, and creative content creation. Beyond the Sunday morning show, The Dangerous Ones create daily viral video content that focuses on breaking political and cultural news with their unique, hard-hitting style. They also craft in-depth articles for their successful Substack, ’The Teal and Orange Report’—named after the colors of their logo. Subscribers to The Teal and Orange Report enjoy exclusive access to videos, articles, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content. Produced by their company, TDO Media, in the creative district of Portland, Oregon, The Dangerous Ones is more than a podcast—it’s America’s people-driven, pro-democracy, alternative media powerhouse. ***** The Dangerous Ones Podcast: new episodes every Sunday, 5am PST on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all major podcast apps.

Democratic Prepping: Surviving the GOP
Sunday Mar 16, 2025
Sunday Mar 16, 2025
THE DANGEROUS ONES | EPISODE 10 | DEMOCRATIC PREPPING: SURVIVING THE GOP
America isn’t just bracing for another election—we’re preparing for survival
As the GOP slashes safety net programs, Americans across the country are being forced to “prep” for the fallout—not from war, not from natural disaster, but from Republican cruelty. This week on The Dangerous Ones, we’re exposing what’s at stake and what Americans are doing to prepare. Because the GOP isn’t just waging a political war—they’re waging war on the vulnerable.
The People's Hotline drives the conversation as we take call about:
📞 Blue Dots in Red states - You are NOT alone.
📞 What are YOU doing to prepare for the fallout of the Republican attack on safety net programs and resources? Callers from all around America sharing their tips and tricks on what to do now that the programs built to support The People are being decimated. We tell you what to put into a "Blue Out" bag
📞 The Tesla Boycotts - What say you?
📞 A survivor of sexual assault calls in to warn us: Her abuser now works in the White House.
📞 A veteran from a family that has served since the Civil War—is beside himself at Trump’s attacks on democracy.
This is real. This is happening now.
🎙️ Listen now. Stay informed. Stay prepared. And for the love of democracy—stay dangerous.

UNLEASHED: Trump & Musk’s CRUSADE Against Federal Workers
Thursday Mar 06, 2025
Thursday Mar 06, 2025
THE FIGHT FOR THE REAL DC
We premiere a new video from Forward Frame Media that challenges the common narrative surrounding Washington, D.C. This impactful piece highlights the stark contrast between the city’s political landscape, often criticized for its dysfunction, and the dedicated federal workers who tirelessly ensure the smooth running of everyday life for Americans. From safeguarding our food and ensuring timely social security checks to protecting workers and preventing financial scams, these civil servants are the unsung heroes of our nation. Yet, they now face extinction from Trump and DOGE who are cutting vital services.

The Dangerous Ones Podcast - Episode 005: Trump's Federal Purge
Donald Trump’s at it again—gutting the federal workforce like a corporate raider on a bender. Thousands of government workers are being shown the door, but why? Who benefits? And what the hell does Elon Musk have to do with it? We break it all down.
Meanwhile, while you were busy doomscrolling, scientists discovered nanoplastics in human organs. Yeah, you read that right. Tiny plastic particles—thanks to our polluted planet—are now floating around inside your body. What does that mean for your health? Can we even escape it?
And finally, The People’s Hotline is open for business! We’re taking your calls, your rants, your unfiltered thoughts on the state of the world. Buckle up, it’s gonna get rowdy.

Sunday Feb 16, 2025
Sunday Feb 16, 2025
The Dangerous Ones Podcast - Episode 004 - The People's Hotline
Welcome back to another hard-hitting episode of The Dangerous Ones! The People's Hotline is on fire with raw, unfiltered voicemails from listeners across the globe—calling out injustice, demanding change, and refusing to stay silent. We’re keeping the heat on and making sure these voices are heard.
But it’s not just politics—there’s chaos on the home front too. Nick’s week took a turn for the worse when a flood wrecked his place, turning podcast prep into a dishwashing disaster. Lucky for him, The Dangerous Ones crew knows how to handle a crisis. And the calls? They do not hold back. Bailey brings the fire, David rallies the troops in Kansas, and Debbie from Colorado keeps hope alive in the post-election aftermath. Oh, and federal workers? They are pissed. Trump’s legacy and the DOGE debacle have them sounding off like never before.
The Dangerous Ones isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement. So pour a drink, strap in, and let’s tear into the highs, the lows, and all the madness in between. Let’s get dangerous.
