  • S2 E8: When the Beer Gets Warm
    2020/04/23

    Guest: Daniel Hennessy from Extinction Rebellion Oakland

    Hot goss about Extinction Rebellion America. Fighting fires. NGOs. Filling jails and working with police. Jem Bendell‘s Deep Adaptation paper. Arctic sea ice. Social collapse. Alien archaeologists.

    “If it’s the truth, you have to say it.”

    Note: Daniel speaks on behalf of Daniel. His opinions do not, and are not intended to, represent XR America. This isn’t a friggin press release, just two dudes chatting about their own feels.

  • S2 E7: Enlightened AF, Part 2
    2020/03/21

    Guest: Jody from Guruphiliac, @Kalieezchild on Twitter

    In part 2, Jody gets personal about his history with gurus. The significance of significance and the red herring of ego dissolution. Magick and imaginal spirituality. Psychedelics. Jody’s path to realization. Oprah. The Aquarian Age. Climate change anxiety. The Church of the Subgenius. And burnt almonds: the secret of life, the universe, and everything.

    The Alan Watts talk I reference is on YouTube, or you can read the transcript at AlanWatts.org.

    Closing track is “For R & S” by Density & Time.

  • S2 E3: Cult of Ilúvatar
    2020/02/08

    One airbrushed wizard van short of a new religion. Mike Jones is back once again. Can we build a bewildering manifesto-inscribed labyrinth and spiritual movement around J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion? What cult LARPing lessons can we learn from Kurt Anderson’s Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire? Is America the BoJack Horseman of countries? All this plus a Denny’s kids’ menu and a pack of crayons.

    Yeah, it’s one of the more pop culture-heavy episodes.

    Intro music by Martin H Emes and “Rah” by Uncle Milk (CC BY 4.0). Closing track is “Soft Rain” by Glass Boy (CC BY-ND 3.0).
