{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Stories From The Cold Dead Hands","slug":"thecolddeadhands","podcastDescription":"For as long as American media has reported on mass shooting events, their reports focus on the perpetrators of these events – their lives, families, motivations, even what foods they’ve dined on after apprehension. In sharp contrast, The Cold Dead Hands is changing the way we talk about these tragic and horrifying stories. Every Monday from 9-11pm EST, your hosts Dr. Benjamin Dowd-Arrow and Activist Brett Cross bring you stories from the families and survivors of these tragic events, finally shining a light on those lost to gun violence and sharing their lives, surviving family member stories, passions, dreams, and more. (If you’d like to help Ben and Brett, along with the other American families affected by these tragedies, to convince our politicians to put an end to gun violence, please visit TheShotline.org for more information on how to take action.)\n\n\nAbout the hosts:\nDr. Benjamin Dowd-Arrow:\nDr. Dowd-Arrow is a passionate advocate for widespread gun reform in America. A sociologist and researcher with a focus on gun ownership and gun violence, Dr. Dowd-Arrow has appeared in The New York Times, The Economist, ABC, NBC, and more. Currently a professor of Public Health at Florida State University, Dr. Dowd-Arrow focuses on gun-related topics, health inequalities, and how those inequalities show up when thinking about race, religion, and ethnicity. A dedicated friend and advocate, Ben is proud and passionate to bring you The Cold Dead Hands with his co-host, Brett Cross.\nWhen The Cold Dead Hands isn’t airing, you can find Ben anywhere on the internet at twxtter, tiktok, instagram, threads, twitch, and cameo. His handles are @dowdarrow on all social media (except twitch where he is @bendowdarrow).\n\nBrett Cross:\nBrett Cross is a father and a firebrand. A deeply committed husband, Brett and his family lived the colloquial regular life in Texas until May 24th, 2022 when their lovely son, Uziyah Garcia (who Brett sometimes calls Uzi), was murdered during the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Brett’s passion to save other children and families was activated in that moment, and since then, he has been a vocal and visible activist. Cross is unafraid to speak truth to power, confronting gun lobbyists and even American politicians who, in his words, “show the world that guns mean more to them than children.” Brett Cross is proud to make waves, having organized protests, sit-ins, and facing arrests done in an attempt to silence him. He will not stop and is proud to bring you a desperately needed view of the other side of this hot-button issue on The Cold Dead Hands with his co-host, Dr. Benjamin Dowd-Arrow.\nWhen The Cold Dead Hands isn’t airing, you can find Brett on tiktok, twxtter, instagram, threads, and twitch.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19002124/Untitled_designafg43.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19002124/Untitled_designafg43_1200x628.jpg?s=a5a19276b490e59574a14653c651fa88&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://thecolddeadhands.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thecolddeadhands/feed.xml","theme":"waves","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-ngiji-121f30c","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":9,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Benjamin Dowd-Arrow","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-ngiji-121f30c-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stories-from-the-cold-dead-hands/id1755653103","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fthecolddeadhands.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog19002124%26podcastIdTag%3Dngiji&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fthecolddeadhands.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7nEGH6XA7aXU1WbPVNzLG1","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/97d9ff1f-bb97-4ae7-b747-2c54a29c49f6","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/192350957","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3584507","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Samsung","link":null,"image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Samsung.png","title":"Search the podcast title on Samsung Podcast app."},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/stories-from-the-cold-dead-han-5782072","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/101367","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#3A61B9"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
