Power in Numbers will explore the political, economic, and cultural forces shaping Native and non-Native communities in the U.S., blending data, polling, and research with human stories to make complex trends meaningful and personal. Through conversations with experts and community voices, the podcast turns insight into collective understanding by offering connection, clarity, and hopeful paths forward in uncertain times.

Throughout the season, Crystal will be joined by two powerhouse researchers — Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners and Charlene Polite Corley of Nielsen — to break down their latest research into Native power and visibility. Drawing from the Indigenous Futures Survey – which captures the voices of nearly three thousand Indigenous registered voters representing over 240 unique Tribal affiliations – and focus groups, as well as an online survey of over five thousand non-Native adults in the U.S., the study provides insights into the priorities of Native peoples today and non-Native peoples’ perceptions.

Each episode will feature today’s hottest comedians unpacking the toughest topics surrounding our current political and cultural climate. From Naomi Ekperigin, Chris Gethard, Jackie Keliia, Corey Ryan Forrester, Jana Schmieding, Suzanne Lambert, Alise Morales, and Milly Tamarez, these entertainers will step into the “Pop Culture Corner” and offer a comedic monologue in response to the episode’s central theme.
