Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal

Season 2 · Episode 6

Thursday, October 29, 2026 • Duration 46:20

Washington State Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is one of the realest elected officials out there right now. Currently serving her fifth term, she’s an immigrant who came to the US at age 16 all by herself, and, when elected in 2016, became the first Indian American woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The congresswoman led the wave of progressive fighters 2 years ahead of AOC’s 2018 election, and is an OG member of The Squad. Japayal is a leader on immigration reform, Medicare for all, income equality, expanded labor/union rights, and LGBTQ+ equality. She’s been working with the survivors exposed by the Epstein Files, and she speaks to all of this with working class normalcy; she makes sense to the average American.

Join Ilana and the Congresswoman as they look at the meaning and spirit behind today’s democratic socialism movement, the trauma of the January 6th insurrection, and the incoming wave of progressive fighter candidates swelling across the United States. Rep. Jayapal is a true patriot who leads Americans to claim our power. The power is still in the hands of the people! Come on in - it’s open!

Erica Chidi

Season 2 · Episode 5

Thursday, October 22, 2026 • Duration 46:29

Today, Ilana sits down with her brilliant and dear friend, Erica Chidi. Erica lives, works, and creates at the intersections of human health, culture, and technology. She is a full-spectrum doula, the co-founder and former CEO of the digital sexual and reproductive health platform LOOM (acquired by Perelel Health in 2024), author of NURTURE: A MODERN GUIDE TO PREGNANCY, BIRTH, EARLY MOTHERHOOD—AND TRUSTING YOURSELF AND YOUR BODY, current SVP of Brand & Editorial Content at the digital media platform Refinery29, and the creator of her new YouTube series BODIED.

With great care, Erica and Ilana look at sexual violence in America, the neglect of our country’s mothers at the institutional level, the denial of postpartum mental health disorders, and the surging interest in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women. They also discuss sleep hygiene, the mistake of giving “basic bed”, the addictive malaise of context switching on TikTok and Instagram, and how AI-doomerism is misogynistic, uncreative, and just dumb! Come join the conversation, it’s open.

Miss Peppermint

Season 2 · Episode 4

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 01:00:06

Today on It’s Open, Ilana is joined by the sensational, the trailblazing, the thought leader and activist: Miss Peppermint. She was the first openly trans contestant on RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE, the first trans woman to originate a lead Broadway role for the musical HEAD OVER HEELS, is an Out Magazine’s Out100 honoree, and Pep is the biographical subject of the documentary film A DEEPER LOVE: THE STORY OF MISS PEPPERMINT. We are so proud of herrr.

Peppermint and Ilana get right into it, unpacking genocide as a framework and how the current power structure simultaneously oppresses the underprivileged and represses the privileged, leading to this universal state of deprivation. They confront the reality of the genocidal frameworks against Black Americans on which our country was built and that continue today and how, on the other side of the same structure, living beyond the gender binary is a common phenomenon across the world and one that empowers individuals and their communities, alike. Come join us, it’s open!

Jennifer Welch

Season 2 · Episode 3

Thursday, October 8, 2026 • Duration 58:16

Joining us today is the brilliant, noble, and hilarious Jennifer Welch — co-creator of the breakthrough political and cultural podcast I’VE HAD IT, which disrupted the political media landscape, amassing over 4.5 million followers across platforms with razor-sharp, unfiltered, anti-authoritarian critical commentary, first broadcast from the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, Oklahoma City!

Jennifer talks with Ilana about the Bible Belt’s disturbing obsession with sexual chastity and purity culture, the hypocrisy of evangelical atonement, and how these misguided patterns have led to morally corrupt, sexually repressed politicians. Jennifer unpacks the false narrative from the Right that un-learning capitalist conditioning and standing up for human rights is somehow political “radicalization”. They discuss Jennifer’s hit YouTube channel, brand new book NOT TODAY, FASCISTS, her triumphant move to New York City, and how we are actually winning the culture wars. Come on in, it’s open!

Bill Burr

Season 2 · Episode 2

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 41:21

Anointed by Rolling Stone in 2017 as one of the 20 greatest stand-up comedians of ALL TIME, our guest today has released 12 highly acclaimed stand-up comedy specials including his most recent Drop Dead Years in 2025, has trail-blazed the podcasting genre since the launch of his Monday Morning Podcast in 2007, continues to add outstanding TV and film performances to his credentials from roles in Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian, to this year’s highly anticipated The Social Reckoning, and made his Broadway debut in the 2025 revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. Please welcome the humble, the heroic, the brilliant: Bill Burr.

Ilana and Bill discuss his upcoming cinematic role as a fictional moral compass in The Social Reckoning, and how acting helps him to personally unlock emotions long since buried “way out in the Atlantic”. Further, Bill shares about returning to an analog way of life, letting go of anger as his primary emotional driver, and the sensibility of looking and acting one’s age. Come on in, it’s open.
