America’s story is much more than a collection of facts and dates found in history books. It’s also told through the songs we sing, the movies we watch, the books we read, the ideas we debate, and the voices that shape our national conversation. That’s What We’re Talking About explores the dynamic intersection of pop culture, politics, power, and the American experience, revealing how each influences the others—and together define who we are as a people. Our mission is to provide historical perspective, thoughtful analysis, compelling storytelling, and meaningful conversation that inform, challenge, and inspire a deeper understanding of America and its ever-evolving voice.
The That’s What We’re Talking About network is organized around three distinct but interconnected divisions with each offering a unique perspective on the American story.
Talking ‘Bout My Generation: The Baby Boomer Experience examines the generation that witnessed—and often helped create—many of the defining moments of modern America. From rock and roll, television, and the space race to civil rights, Vietnam, Watergate, and the digital revolution, this division explores the music, memories, history, and cultural legacy of the Baby Boom generation while asking what its experiences can still teach us today.
Welcome to the Trumpocalypse is our home for thoughtful coverage of the extraordinary current political era threatening American democracy. Through reporting, historical perspective, media analysis, and commentary, this division explores the Trump presidency and its continuing impact on government, institutions, public discourse, elections, protest movements, and the future of the American experiment. Our focus is on understanding not only what is happening, but why it matters and what we should do about it.
The DC Communications Collective examines the powerful intersection of communications, media, politics, advocacy, public affairs, and influence in Washington, D.C. Drawing on decades of personal and professional experience, the Collective also offers practical guidance on becoming a better reader, listener, viewer, writer, speaker, and creator—skills that are essential for effective communication and informed citizenship. In an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the Collective champions critical thinking, media literacy, ethical communication, and the pursuit of truth while helping individuals use AI as a powerful tool without surrendering their own judgment, creativity, authenticity, or voice.
Because America’s culture doesn’t merely reflect the nation, but also helps shape its future, we believe understanding the forces that influence our national conversation is vital. That shared conviction is why we created That’s What We’re Talking About. Our network is dedicated to informing, challenging, inspiring, and encouraging thoughtful conversations about America through the lenses of pop culture, politics, power, and the enduring American voice. We hope you’ll find our work both informative and engaging—and if you do, we invite you to become part of the conversation and share what you find on our network with others
