S2E1 Be Less Crazy About Your Body Chapter 1

This week we are talking about how bad it sucks that the Donald has us focused on such rinky-dink shit when we have GINORMOUS fish to fry -- namely climate change. Because solving it is just as much about reinventing human culture and society as it is technology.

S1E17 - We Won! Let Us Gloat, and Talk About How

This week we talk about self-caring ourselves out of the cycle of activism, exhaustion, depression, and guilt. We also talk about how rich white male rule of the planet is screwing us all, and how we might be able to spread some of that power around. Political reparations, maybe?

S1E15 - Down With Bullshit Made-Up Hierarchies

This week we talk about more false equivalency BS -- black bloc protesters are just as bad as those they are fighting against? Nah, I don't think so. We also talk about how it clearly behooves everyone to listen to the Hermione Grangers of the world.

S1E14 - Who Runs the World? Hermione

This week on the podcast I'm a little fired up about being asked to be tolerant of the moderate Trump voter instead of firing them into the sun (my preferred response). But where do we go from here?

S1E11 - We Will Not Go Away / Welcome To Your Every Day

This week we talk about a known bug in the human brain called the Fundamental Attribution error, and why insisting on ideological purity is a mistake. The answer to complexity isn’t to shut it out or deny it; it’s to develop our capacity for handling it:
