Episode Summary
New here? Just jumping around? You’re in the right place.
In this quick guide, host Bella Goode breaks down how Surviving Trump is structured — and how to listen in a way that works for you.
You don’t have to go in order. Every episode stands on its own, but together they reveal a much bigger picture:
- What’s happening to our government
- Who’s driving the changes
- How democracy is being reshaped from the inside out
Bella walks through the full arc of the show — starting with what’s at stake, then diving into the major players, ideological blueprints, institutional breakdowns, and the real-world consequences playing out right now.
Why It Matters
Understanding what’s happening beyond legacy headlines gives you power — to think critically, push back effectively, and stay grounded in truth. This podcast helps you do that.
Final Word
You can’t fight what you don’t understand. So start where it matters most to you, and keep listening. When the dots start connecting — share it. Because more people need to see what’s really going on.
You don’t have to start at the beginning — just start. Every episode helps build a more complete picture of the crisis we’re living through… and what it will take to survive it.
