Dara Starr Tucker sits down with political commentator and digital creator Cory Bradford for a wide-ranging conversation on history, media, and the rapidly shifting political landscape.

Cory shares how he built a following by turning complex historical events into engaging, accessible content through humor and storytelling—and why that approach is resonating with younger audiences. The conversation then shifts to current events, including the Supreme Court’s decision on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and what it could mean for Black political representation moving forward.

They also discuss redistricting battles across the country, the real-world impact of the U.S.–Iran conflict on everyday Americans, and the role rising gas prices could play in upcoming elections. Along the way, Dara and Cory unpack the challenges of political commentary in a divided media environment, including the tension around “both sides” narratives and accountability.

The interview closes with a look toward the future—how younger generations are engaging with history and politics, and why storytelling may be one of the most powerful tools we have right now.
