Some Sunday nights don’t just spark conversation — they challenge the stories we tell about who we are and where we’re headed.
This week’sSHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE! brings two authors who confront the state of the nation from opposite angles: one fighting to restore its foundations, the other imagining what redemption might look like when the world turns dark.
It’s a two‑hour dive into conviction, consequence, and the courage to rethink the future.
Hour 1: Michael Bedenbaugh — Author, Reviving Our Republic
We open with the return of Michael Bedenbaugh, whose work blends historical insight with a call to civic renewal. In Reviving Our Republic, he examines the forces that have frayed America’s democratic fabric — and the practical steps he believes can stitch it back together.
Expect a conversation rooted in passion, preservation, and the belief that a nation’s strength comes from the people willing to fight for it.
Hour 2: Diana Colleen — Author, They Could Be Saviors
Then we shift into the realm of speculative possibility with Diana Colleen, whose new novel They Could Be Saviors explores what happens when ordinary people are thrust into extraordinary moral choices. Colleen’s storytelling blends suspense, empathy, and a sharp eye for the human condition.
This hour promises imagination with stakes — a look at how hope, fear, and responsibility collide when the world demands more from us than we expect.
