About

Politics, and Activism, and Parody, Oh My! Join progressive performer and activist Alyson Rodriguez Orenstein as she uses her passion for politics, performance, and pastiche to discuss

- state of our nation's democracy
- who we are as a people 

- how we communicate

- and what we each can actually DO in the face of potential disaster

​

Last Rants is a weekly discussion about America's need for true systemic change that also offers up suggestions for actions we can take at an individual level, and recognizes the need to laugh a bit at our ridiculous world. Will our democracy fall off a cliff?  Let’s talk about it! Every Sunday, the last day of the week, brings another episode of Last Rants: Musings From an Empire on the Edge!  

​

To better understand the lens we look at the news and current events through, we encourage you to start off by listening to our first episode, Prologue: Our Naked Empire.  In it we talk about what an Empire in decline looks like, if the US really is one, and what we hope we can do.
