Just three months later she was able to incorporate an air walk at her first competition. Michael and James decide what type of pole would suit them. James is delighted to discover he possesses a genetic advantage to becoming a superior pole dancer.

Michael and James heal the nation. We chat about the storming of the U.S. Capitol with Rev. Catharine Clarenbach who is a Unitarian Universalist minister and an initiate in the Stone Circle Tradition of Wicca. The discussion moves to three words in Catharine's bio and the issue of reclaiming emotive/offensive words. It's a fascinating conversation and we ran out of time so look out for part two (and possibly three) in the near future.

If you don't have time to listen to the whole thing, please at least listen to 44:25 - 44:50 when Rev. Catharine eloquently says what we all need to hear and take to heart right now.
