Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry

This is a special episode of Sorry Not Sorry, focused entirely on the developing military situation in Iran. It’s such an unnecessary mess—remember that three years ago, we had a working peace and nuclear disarmament treaty with that country. Now, we’re at the brink of war. We take the time to go in-depth into the situation both historically and politically, to help us all understand what’s happening and what we can do about it. Most importantly, we examine the human cost of generations of conflict and war in the region. CNN Senior International Correspondent Arwa Damon joins the show from Istanbul, and Senator Chris Murphy and Congressman Ro Khanna join from Washington. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

In Vermont in the 1970s, childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield started Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. They pioneered equitable business practices, fair trade, and championed local farms while fighting for social justice and building one of the most recognizable brands in American history. Ben and Jerry led the way in building an ethical and just business, and even managed to maintain the social justice mindset of the company when it was sold to Unilever. Now, they're turning their talents to the Bernie Sanders campaign. Listen in for a bit of ice cream history and a lot of front-line activism from two of the sweetest guys in business. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

He teaches children, adolescents, and adult about consent and healthy masculinity. In a wide-ranging discussion, Ted and Alyssa discuss the necessity of men taking responsibility for their actions and how to teach new ways for men to look at gender, power, and what it means to be a man. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Alyssa Milano sat down to talk with Ammar Campa-Najjar, a candidate for congress who nearly beat Duncan Hunter in 2018. Since the election, Hunter pleaded guilty to misuse of campaign funds, and it now looks like he'll be trading the halls of Congress for the halls of prison. Ammar is again running for the seat, and he shares his inspirational story of growing up poor with a single mother, working at low-wage jobs from a young age and learning the dignity of hard work, and his efforts to unseat a southern California political dynasty. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Heather Matarazzo (The Princess Diaries, Welcome to the Dollhouse) is a brilliant actor, an activist, and a mental health warrior. She and Alyssa both started their acting careers as children in very prominent productions and experienced a very different world than what most of their peers did. And it’s created some parallel successes and struggles in their lives. Heather’s passion for equality and justice for everyone in America has been an inspiration to me, and we're so happy to be able to share their conversation with you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

The great promise of success in America has been this: work hard, get an education, and there’s nothing you can’t do. That promise is no longer being kept for far too many of us. Student loan debt is eating away so much of our disposable income, keeping us from buying homes, starting families, and starting businesses. We’re now living in a nation with more than a trillion dollars in student loan debt—and much of that debt cannot be refinanced or even cleared via bankruptcy. Our guest Natalia Abrams is the Executive Director of Student Debt Crisis, where she advocates for student debt reform, affordable education, and smart lending solutions for everyone pursuing a degree. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message
