Journalist Roundtable

Charlie Brenneman

This episode brings together policy, protest, and personal purpose.

(00:00:00)

WITF’s Jordan Wilkie joins us to discuss his reporting on a group of activist Mennonites calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, and how their faith-driven activism also centers on supporting immigrants in the United States.

Emily Previti of the PA Capitol Star breaks down new Pennsylvania legislation aimed at cracking down on human trafficking, what’s in the bills, why they matter, and what comes next.

(00:23:01)

We also sit down with Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman for a straightforward look at his unlikely path. From high school wrestler to Spanish teacher, Pros vs. Joes winner, UFC fighter, and now speaker, podcaster, and coach. He talks about chasing dreams, finding purpose beyond competition, and his personal mission to speak at every State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania.

Three conversations, one episode. Focused on justice, conviction, and what drives people to act.
