What The Chuck! — The Why Behind the Mic

IMG_1908.jpeg

What The Chuck! is a debate-style podcast moderated by Jimmie Chess—where conversations aren’t just heard, they’re challenged. We believe the best ideas often come from passionate, respectful disagreements.

What Makes Us Different

We’re not here to convince — we’re here to explore. What The Chuck! invites guests with radically different viewpoints on social, cultural, and economic issues. Jimmie Chess isn’t the voice of the show — he’s the steady hand behind the mic, guiding the conversation, not dominating it. His role is to keep debates honest, respectful, and rooted in real evidence.
What You Can Expect
  • Evidence-based debates — not just loud opinions
     
  • Topics that matter: housing, caste, unemployment, criminal justice, cultural bias, and more
     
  • Guests who challenge your thinking without attacking your character
     
  • A moderator who asks the hard questions but stays neutral
     
  • No scripts. No spin. Just real talk that pushes the conversation forward
