Chronically Illing OutChronically Illing Out | E33 - Bridging the Gaps, Unifying the CommunitiesChronic Illness In ReviewThis week’s Chronically Illing Out lands on an uncomfortable truth: the disability community is fracturing itself from the inside. Nick Paro opens by naming the divisions playing out on Substack right now — people attacking each other, misrepresenting each other — and frames the whole hour around a single question: how do we bridge the gaps within our own ranks before we lose the ability to fight anything else? Guest Nieta Greene, CEO and founder of Disability Community for Democracy, arrives with the credentials to push the conversation past venting and into accountability. What follow...

Diogenes ClubDiogenes Club | E17 - Confronting BurnoutDiogenes In ReviewWith Walter resting, Nick Paro, Dr. Eric Lullove, and a returning Evan Fields spend an hour and fifteen minutes arguing that burnout is the operating system of this political moment, not an unfortunate side effect. The conversation moves across three registers — Evan’s recent divorce, Eric’s medical and economic forecasting, and Nick’s call to build personal infrastructure for resistance — and at each level the diagnosis is the same. Exhaustion is being manufactured upstream. The defense has to be built before the wave hits, not after.Actions You Can Take* Check...

Notes of the WeekNotes of the Week | E34 - Pushing ForwardNotes In ReviewThis episode lands one week after Dr. Melissa Bird, a Shivwits Band of Southern Paiutes descendant, social worker, lay preacher in the Episcopal Church, and first-time congressional candidate, lost her Oregon primary — and immediately committed to running again. Nick Paro, Walter Rhein, and Margaret Williams host. Bird ran in Oregon’s second-largest congressional district (six counties, nearly the full Oregon coast), pulled “almost 21,000 votes” and 21% of the vote against the incumbent, and raised over $75,000 from more than 800 donations while refusing corporate money. Her opening point is the one the rest of the conversation orbits: a workin...

Diogenes ClubDiogenes Club | E16 - Replace, Reclaim, RebuildDiogenes In ReviewThis was supposed to be the episode where the panel — Nick Paro, Walter Rhein, Dr. Eric Lullove, and (briefly) Evan Fields — sat down to plan how the resistance replaces, reclaims, and rebuilds. Instead the conversation walked through the doors marked “personal,” “procedural,” and “religious” in that order, and by the end Eric was naming the drift on-air: “we literally got away from the whole point of the title of our show… and somehow we got caught up in this — in our own little religious war over syntax.” It would be easy to read that as the episode losing th...

Chronically Illing OutChronically Illing Out | E32 - Get Out The GuiltChronic Illness In ReviewDr. Greeley Miklashek is 80, recovering from long COVID and a second round of prostate-cancer radiation, and unwilling to apologize for any of it. He’s also a retired neuropsychiatrist who treated 25,000 people, wrote Stress R Us, and spent a career arguing that what most of his colleagues called “disease” was, more often than not, a body trying to survive chronic stress. In a wandering, generous hour, he gives Soso, Beth, and Nick a working definition of guilt — self-punishment for breaking the rules of a group — and then complicates it by pointing out that most of us...

Chronically Illing OutChronically Illing Out | E31 - Mother's Day MondayChronic Illness In ReviewThe Monday after Mother’s Day begins with a head cold, a missing co-host, and a discussion on grief. Beth is out sick — appropriately, on a show about chronic illness — so Nick Paro, Soso, and Stephanie Wilson, PhD, hold the morning between them. The heart of today’s show is all about the chronically ill body keeping track of loss whether the dishes are done or not, and it’s important to say that out loud. Mother’s Day gives us the conversation opener into some unexpected tangents where we talk surveillance capitalism, isolation wi...

And I still have that raging fire to help the people of this country get a better life.”~ Angry Male Vet ~Masculinity In ReviewNick Paro sits back down with Angry Male Vet — retired Air Force intelligence officer, 23-year combat veteran, and one of the sharpest voices connecting military reality to civilian political life — for the follow-up conversation they couldn’t finish at E26. What begins as a news-desk reckoning with the Strait of Hormuz, the firing of the Secretary of the Navy, and the structural gutting of Pentagon leadership...

Chronically Illing OutChronically Illing Out | E30 - Functioning With Compounding ConditionsChronic Illness In ReviewThis week’s discussion pulls a single thread — what does it actually take to function when your diagnoses keep stacking? Mack Devlin, a former journalist now medically retired, joins Nick, Beth, Soso, and Stephanie with one of the most compounding stacks the show has hosted: Becker’s muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 LADA diabetes, hypertension, depression, AFib, and chimerism — the rare condition where Mack absorbed his twin in utero and inherited a second set of genes. The conversation traces how someone twice told he should already be dead arrives at 46 with a non-profit in the w...

Diogenes ClubDiogenes Club | E13 - Rights, What Are They Good For?Diogenes In ReviewThe thirteenth episode of the Diogenes Club opens on a title that sounds like a joke and lands like a thesis. Nick Paro has been working all night on the line — “What are they good for?” — and Eric Lullove walks straight into it: “I just know that they’re gonna take my vote away next week.” Within two minutes, Walter Rhein has named the moment as a finger-counting exercise — “Can we count from 10 to 0 on the 10 list of rights that they are going to take away?” — and Nick has refused the premise. “I’m done letting them take any...

Notes of the WeekNotes of the Week | E31 - Religious PatriarchyNotes In ReviewThis episode argues that the central failure of the political left in the United States is asking permission to defend itself. Nick Paro and Walter Rhein open with the asymmetry that has defined the Trump era: Republicans wield power to its maximum reach, Democrats wield it to the minimum out of fear of overreach, and the public has been conditioned to victim-shame the candidates and movements who try to push back. Walter’s framing — quoted later in his Substack note — applies the same logic to sexual violence: “Let’s hunt down all the men in the Rap...

Nieta is a self-described sibling, niece, daughter, and granddaughter of veterans. Her grandfather served in Korea; her uncle was stationed there in the 80s; her brother did four years in the Marines, four more in the Army National Guard, and a tour in Iraq in t...

Notes of the WeekNotes of the Week | E30 - What is Conscientious Emigration?Notes In ReviewThis episode centers on a profound, practical question: if you’re going to leave the United States, what does it mean to do that well? Attorney and emigration consultant Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq., joins Nick Paro and Walter Rhein to define conscientious emigration — the discipline of leaving with intentionality about the environmental, cultural, and economic impact you have on the country you move to. Elizabeth founded Conscientious Emigration in January 2024, originally as a side project born from decades of environmental justice work, but after November 2025 gutted all nonprofit funding in that space, she pivo...

She carries CPTSD, ADHD, and anxiety — and a background in sexual abuse and human trafficking that she describes with a precision that only comes from having finally named it. She was a director of operations in tech. She was a high performer who stayed up twelve-hour stretches alongside Nick. She was also, for most of he...

Diogenes ClubDiogenes Club | E11 - Belief and Calling Out The BullshitIn this 11th installment of the Diogenes Club — Nick Paro, Walter Rhein, and Evan Fields welcome special guest Frederic Poag — essayist and masculinity guru — with “The Ballad of Frederick Poag,” an epic poem Walter composed in Frederic’s honor. The ballad sets the episode’s emotional mood: this is a room of men who have chosen humor and solidarity as survival tools while the world outside burns. The poem is funny, yes — and it is also a form of life and love — the care of men for each other, for women as a whole, for the next generation — is ultimately what this...

Notes of the WeekNotes of the Week | E29 - Nat-Cs and the Micro MenNotes In ReviewThis episode dissects nationalist Christian ideology and its role in normalizing male sexual violence. Hosts Nick Paro and Walter Rhein engage guests Andra Watkins and Frederic Poag in hard conversations about Christian nationalist theology that treats dominion over women as biblical mandate. The core argument: America’s crisis of male accountability stems from theological permission structures combined with feminization anxieties. Watkins, a survivor of Christian nationalist upbringing, argues that without institutional accountability systems — DNA testing for officials, rape kit processing, belief of accusers — abusers operate with impunity. Fred Poag speaks from military experience on why in...

Notes of the WeekNotes of the Week | E28 - Toning It UpNotes In ReviewThis episode reframes the current administration as a “second Confederacy” rather than a Nazi revival, and treats the 2026 primaries as the lever to pry power back from corporate Democrats. Nick Paro lays out a tooling-and-volunteer strategy for Broad Banner — using Lev Parnas’s network and a planned all-day candidate-interview marathon to give grassroots progressives the oxygen national media won’t. Walter Rhein presses the case that Democrats had full power in 2020, failed to stop fascism’s rise, and have to be primaried out rather than defended. The two also walk through emotional-intelligence parenting (“I’m sorry I made y...

The problem with ego-driven masculinity is that it’s loud but fragile. Discipline is quiet, but it compounds. It shows up every day. It doesn’t need applause. And it doesn’t collapse when someone disagrees with you.”~ Nick Paro ~Masculinity In ReviewI have had the distinct pleasure of working with them for the majority of my time here on Substack.

Through recorded evidence, past testimony, and live reporting, there is a consistent pattern of intimidation, deflection, and “cleanup” work that calls into question Cohen’s credibility and motives. Central to our discussion is the unresolved Katie Johnson allegation and Cohen’s contradictory references to a supposed “Jane Doe,” the Palm Beach Mansion sale which triggered the public end to the Trump/Epstein friendship, and the growing suspicio...
