Crayon Box Weekly is hitting pause—but not for long. In this special update episode, hosts Carl and Avery announce a temporary hiatus to focus on personal matters and major updates to the Crayon Box Politics platform. The podcast will return in September with brand-new political content, including an exclusive interview with Alexander Moss, author of The De Federalized Democrat.

Carl and Avery reflect on the state of American politics, identity politics, and the critical role voters play in shaping democracy. They also share thoughts on Pride Month and offer support for the LGBTQ+ community during this important time.

Listeners are invited to stay engaged during the break by joining Crayon Box Politics’ online communities and participating in upcoming discussions and projects.

Subscribe to stay informed, stay engaged, and—as always—color outside the lines.
