After the Mic: Unlikely Allies

Four months later, the same conversation sounds different.

By Dr. Peter Verdin · October 22, 2026 · Video reflection

Four months ago, I sat down for a conversation on Unlikely Allies. Watching that recording back today gave me a perspective I didn’t have when we recorded it: I can see the progress I’ve made in the months since.

This isn’t the episode I originally planned. Instead of a written essay, this one is a video reflection on that distance—the person I was behind the microphone then, and what I notice looking back now.
