On this episode of Now You Know, Knowa chops it up with Matt Frederick and Ben Bowlin from Stuff They Don't Want You to Know.

Together they get into conspiracies that proved true, why the U.S. electoral system makes no sense, and whether capitalism functions more like a faith than an economy. They also break down who "they" really are when we say they don't want you to know - and why that matters for politics, power, and the next generation learning to think for themselves.

In Episode 06 of Now You Know, we're trying something new: we're going to just jump right in to the conversation. But before we drop you in, here’s a little context. We are joined by Congresswoman Sarah McBride, a daughter of Delaware through and through, and someone who grew up believing her small state could make a big impact. From local organizing as a teenager to breaking barriers on the national stage, McBride has carried that same sense of community and conviction into every role she’s taken on.

In this episode, host Knowa de Baraso sits down with her to explore Delaware’s overlooked vibrancy—its beaches, art, and neighborly spirit—and the lessons she’s carried from the statehouse to Congress. McBride opens up about navigating the drama of national politics, her relentless fight for healthcare equity, and the personal loss that fuels her public service. Together, they paint a picture of a leader who proves that even the smallest state can carry the biggest stories.

In this episode of Now You Know, we meet Isaiah Martin, a 26-year-old congressional candidate from Houston who’s blending livestreams and legislation to power a community-first campaign—one that refuses to play by the old rules.

Isaiah’s story pushes the boundaries of what a modern campaign can look like—unfolding across social media, community meetings, and even a night behind bars. Recently jailed for what he describes as political retaliation, Isaiah turned the experience into a moment of community organizing—hosting a town hall in the jailhouse chapel.

In this episode, Knowa asks Isaiah how next-gen leadership holds up—when it’s digital by design, personal by nature, and everything’s on the line. Isaiah breaks down the strategy behind his TikTok presence and block-by-block organizing.

Episode 03 of Now You Know with Knowa de Baraso pulls up a chair with Roy Wood Jr. — one of the most deliberate, unflinching, and flat-out essential voices in political comedy. Roy doesn’t chase easy laughs; and is never afraid to take aim where it matters.

In this episode, Knowa and Roy strip comedy down to the studs, breaking apart the mechanics of satire in politics — how it works, why it matters, and the responsibility of wielding it well. They dig into the cost of telling the truth in public, how to call out power without losing the room, and why the setup is just as important as the punchline. From military and police corruption to the White House Juneteenth celebration, no subject is off-limits.

With the Hulu special Lonely Flowers, the forthcoming book The Man of Many Fathers, Roy shows how to work the laugh line and the fault line at the same time — proving comedy can shake the room and shift the ground under it.

In this episode, Knowa links up with music legend Macy Gray while she's on tour—and yes, Knowa’s riding with her.

They get into what it really means to be yourself in public, how that kind of honesty becomes a magnet, and why giving people even a few minutes of relief through music is a responsibility, not just a job.

They talk touring, legacy, the politics of performance, and how entertainment can move people the way policy does—just through a different door. Macy also clears the air on past headlines and explains why she still believes in physical CDs and showing up with intention.
