    Are We Sleeping on Buffalo's Spoken Word Scene?
    2026/05/01
    April is National Poetry Month, and here in Buffalo, we’re closing it out by celebrating the voices and stories behind the poetry. This week on Group Chat, we sit down with local poets for a real conversation about their journey, what inspired them to start writing, and how poetry became their outlet. We also explore the creative process, the difference between writing and performing, and what it takes to share something so personal out loud. Whether you’re someone who writes, listens, or is just curious about the art form, this conversation is about connection, creativity, and understanding the power of poetry through a Buffalo lens.

    This week on Group Chat, we’re diving into the drama that keeps us all watching reality TV. In the wake of the recent headlines surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul, we take a step back and ask a bigger question: why are we so drawn to chaos, conflict, and controversy on our screens? From dating shows to docuseries, reality TV has blurred the line between entertainment and real life. But is it all just harmless fun, or are we watching something deeper unfold?

  • The State of Media and the Future of Storytelling

    The State of Media and the Future of Storytelling
    2026/03/20
    Something bigger than awards happened at this year’s Academy Awards. Multiple winners used their speeches to call out censorship, defend free speech, and warn about where media may be headed. At the same time, massive industry shifts from layoffs to potential mergers involving Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery are raising serious questions about control and influence. So what is really going on? In this episode, we break down whether media is actually in danger or simply evolving, who really controls what we see, and whether audiences have real choice or just the illusion of it. We also explore why storytelling matters now more than ever and what is at stake if those voices are limited. This conversation goes beyond Hollywood and gets to the core of how information, truth, and narratives are shaped today.
