About the Podcast

Daily Dissent
Because democracy dies in confusion - not just darkness.
Daily Dissent is your unapologetically clear, truth-first civic news show for people who refuse to be gaslit by power.

Hosted by attorney Taylor Darcy, this daily livestream-turned-podcast makes sense of the chaos by connecting today’s headlines to the deeper systems shaping our rights, our votes, and our voices. Whether it’s a court ruling, a protest crackdown, a new wave of disinformation, or creeping authoritarianism, we pull back the curtain on how power is used — and misused — in America.

This isn’t left vs. right. It’s truth vs. manipulation. Civic courage vs. collapse.

We know what it feels like to be frustrated, overwhelmed, or just plain lost in the noise — especially in an era defined by the Trump regime’s assaults on truth, democracy, and civil rights. That’s why Daily Dissent is built to bring clarity without the clickbait, urgency without the panic, and hope without the spin.

Every weekday, we spend 60 minutes cutting through the confusion:
• A bold cold open to reframe the day’s biggest story so it actually makes sense
• Deep-dive story blocks (3–5 per episode) with legal, political, and historical context
• The “Civic Ticker” — rapid-fire threats and wins from around the country
• A big-picture recap connecting micro-events to the macro fight for democracy
• Q&A with engaged listeners like you, live or submitted

But this isn’t just news you listen to — it’s news you can use. You’ll hear:
• Who’s behind the power grabs — and who’s fighting back
• What’s happening in courts, legislatures, and communities across America
• How to take informed action and defend democracy where you live

If you’re disillusioned by partisan spin but still believe in truth… if you’re tired of watching rights get stripped away without understanding why… if you know democracy doesn’t defend itself — you’re our people.

Taylor Darcy

Taylor Darcy is a civic educator, entrepreneur, and podcast host dedicated to helping people navigate complex systems — from democracy and law to business and parenting. As the founder of We Dissent Independent Media, Taylor hosts multiple shows that speak to different dimensions of public life: justice, resistance, truth-telling, and family resilience.

A father of six and a former civil litigation attorney, Taylor brings both professional clarity and lived experience to the mic. Whether he’s breaking down the Supreme Court on Perfect Union Pending, amplifying unheard voices on We the Unheard, or sharing the chaos and joy of entrepreneurial parenting on From Tantrums to Triumphs, his mission remains the same: make power visible, make the personal political, and make people feel less alone.

With a voice that blends legal precision, real-life humor, and principled storytelling, Taylor’s shows offer a rare mix of systemic insight and everyday connection. Listeners tune in for civic depth, relatable truth, and a reminder that you can fight for a better world and laugh about the mess on your kitchen floor.

When he’s not behind the mic, Taylor is likely wrangling his kids, producing livestreams, or building tools to help creators and business owners protect what they’re building. His work lives at the intersection of education, resistance, and radical transparency.
