Oregon Voices Podcast

Eric McGuire and Katherine Watkins investigate the gap between Oregon's progressive reputation and lived reality. We elevate unheard voices across the state and ask hard questions about education, politics, economics, and who actually benefits when institutions refuse accountability.

This is where Oregonians tell the truth about how policy and power shape their daily lives. No performative progressivism. No status quo protection. Just accountability demanding real change.

Eric McGuire: White, educator and Oregon native. 30+ years in public education. His 2025 school board campaign exposed how voices outside the status quo get systematically ignored and how decisions affecting thousands are made in closed rooms.

Katherine Watkins: Black, Indigenous, and white educator, writer, guide. 28 years teaching. Founder of Shadows & Syncopation serving neurodivergent and mixed-race communities. Her work centers institutional analysis and unfiltered truth.
