Welcome to The Hicks Files: Stories That Teach—a podcast where truth speaks through stories, and stories shape our culture.

I’m Jeffrey T. Hicks, and I invite you to join me on a journey through time, culture, and memory. From the windswept trails of the American West to ancient villages across the globe, we explore tales that do more than entertain—they carry meaning, mold character, and offer guiding principles for how to live.

Each episode uncovers legends, life stories, and true accounts—some long forgotten, others newly told—all chosen for the timeless lessons they offer. These are stories with roots deep in human experience and branches that reach every listener, no matter where they are.

So pull up a chair, lend an ear, and let’s explore the stories that teach us how to be wiser, braver, and more grounded than we were yesterday.

Because in a world full of noise, the stories that last… are the ones that teach.

  • A Closer Look at What's Happening with U.S. and Global Healthcare

    A Closer Look at What's Happening with U.S. and Global Healthcare
    May 22 2025

    Here in the U.S., post-pandemic fatigue, political distrust, and institutional missteps have led to serious conversations about defunding, restructuring, or outright eliminating key health organizations like the CDC, the NIH, and even our global health partnerships through the WHO. But here’s the problem: you don’t tear down a clinic before the hospital’s been built—and you certainly don’t pull the plug on global aid while communities across the world still rely on that lifeline.

    From rural Alabama to remote Uganda, the ripple effects of U.S. health decisions are already being felt.

    In today’s episode, we’ll unpack the real-world consequences of these policy shifts, highlight the sharp funding cuts impacting HIV, TB, and maternal health programs worldwide, and offer a few hard questions worth asking before we hit the proverbial kill switch on systems that—though imperfect—have saved millions of lives.

    Because healthcare isn’t just politics. It’s personal. It’s global. And it’s about more than slogans.

    So stick with me—because today on The Hicks Files, we’re pulling back the curtain on what happens when the safety net starts to fray… and what we can do to fix it before it’s gone.
