Permission to Speak: Allison Gill’s Courage Under Fire
Monday, 15 June, 2026
listener discretion advised. this episode contains discussion of sexual assault. — allison gill was one of the first four enlisted women in the navy's nuclear program. she was sexually assaulted. she reported it. it was mishandled. she got PTSD. and then she went on camera for an oscar-nominated documentary and said it out loud anyway — because someone had to. that was before the podcast. she started mueller, she wrote which became one of the most listened-to independent political shows in the country by doing one thing really well: making the mueller report make sense to regular people, every single day, while allison was still inside the federal government, with no safety net, threading legal parameters she could not afford to get wrong. the show blew up. she got fired. she kept going. she has stood up — in very different rooms, against very different odds — more times than most people ever have to. and every time, the cost was real. and every single time, allison never backed down. so we got into it. what it actually feels like to keep going when the institution fails you. how she learned to manage tough challenges when you feel overwhelmed. and she learned what changes the moment you stop feeling alone in something. and where the courage to do it again comes from when you already know what it costs. i wanted to know where that comes from. turns out, the answer is not what i expected — and i don't think it'll be what you expect either. so, let's go. — listen on apple podcasts · spotify · everywhere you listen follow @reppin_podcast allison's show: the daily beans · dailybeanspod.com Learn more about your ad choices.
