S1. Episode 01: Sacred Refusal in the Trump Era
Description
Lloyd Dobler returns! older, sharper, and trying to stay human in the Trump 2.0 era.
In this debut episode of The Tao of Lloyd, he explores sacred refusal as a survival strategy, weaving together Zen philosophy, Gen X perspective, and cultural critique. From ICE raids to Project 2025, WarGames nostalgia to Ram Dass reflections, Lloyd examines what resistance looks like when the world feels upside down.
Part meditation, part mixtape, and part political self-defense, this episode introduces the tone, humor, and defiant stillness that shape Season 1.
