This episode of Marti Oakley's TS Radio features guest David Deighton, creator of the Triptych Dialogue project — a thoughtful exploration of human connection, deep listening, and meaningful conversation in an increasingly fractured world.

While TS Radio continues to expose the harsh realities faced by victims of guardianship and systemic abuse, this conversation offers an important counterbalance. David's work reminds us that even in the midst of loss of rights, isolation, and injustice, there is still beauty in meeting others, engaging in honest dialogue, and reclaiming our humanity through connection.

David shares how intentional conversation can cut through division, restore empathy, and create moments of understanding — even between strangers with very different life experiences. His approach challenges us to slow down, listen more deeply, and recognize the power of presence in a time when so many voices are silenced.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on resilience, dignity, and the healing potential of genuine human engagement.

Tonight, TS Radio Network brings you a powerful and deeply revealing conversation. Our guest is author Jean Widener, joined by Coz Skaife and Marcel Reid—three voices unafraid to confront the truths others refuse to speak aloud.

Jean's book, The Adoption Paradox, tears away the polished veneer surrounding adoption and exposes the hidden realities that shape the lives of adoptees and their families. This episode goes beyond the familiar narratives and ventures into the shadows—where identity, secrecy, and systemic failure collide.

Together, Jean, Coz, and Marcel challenge long-held assumptions, reveal the human cost of silence, and ignite a conversation that demands to be heard.
If you think you understand adoption… think again.

Tonight's episode pulls back the curtain on a shocking fight for freedom.

David Riley joins us to share how his husband was pulled into an abusive guardianship—triggered by something as simple as having an IEP in the Madison, Wisconsin public school system. What starts as a legal technicality quickly unravels into something far more disturbing.

As David digs deeper, a chilling pattern begins to emerge: a growing “parasitoid” industry targeting young people and funneling them into lifelong guardianships based on school records most families barely ever think about again.

But the most harrowing part unfolds inside the Dane County courtroom. The judge has forbidden David's husband from testifying. Forbidden him from even being present at his own hearings. And in a stunning move—annulled their marriage altogether.

And that's not the end of the story.
It's only the beginning.

Tune in tonight for an explosive conversation you won't soon forget.
