Beyond Our Bubble

Alas, it's time to wrap up Beyond Our Bubble. Thanks listeners for joining in the fun of the last few months. It's been a pleasure!

We're talking about race this week. It's a tough topic and there's a lot of different perspectives, so we're going for it for the first time this week. Let us know what you think, we love hearing from you. And let us know if you wanna join in the conversation!

In the second episode touching on feminism this week, we have Jackii on the show. We start with New York and Kesha, and then transition seamlessly into the Women's March, women's health, and abortion.

Lisa gets on the show today and discusses her view of feminism. She also talks us through her political development and came to view the world how she sees it today. Be forewarned, we recorded the episode in December so some of the content is a bit dated.

Ever wanna take a deep dive into tax policy for farmers? Maybe not, but seriously check this episode out. I chat with Kyle who if things worked out a certain way, his inheritance could end up being just a bill from the government...

On this week's episode Anna discusses the Common Core State Standards Initiative. We harken back to the last presidency a bit to hear about education reform then tie it into today's political realm and what may be come. Enjoy!

Alright here it is. The show you've all been waiting for. I've posted eight episodes and we've only brought the man up in passing: we're finally gonna talk about President Donald Trump.

Brooks discusses what it's like to be a Trump supporter. He tells about how he was warned to keep his political opinions quiet when he moved to a blue city. He shares what core issues drew him to Trump. And he takes on a number of Trump controversies.

In the second episode this week, Parker discusses his faith (see the connection to the last episode?). He shares how he feels his Christian faith motivates him to love on others and then he breaks down what he feels this looks like in his own life in the political realm. Enjoy!

These week we're doing something a little different: two friends wanted to share different perspectives on the intersection of Christianity and politics, so we're airing them both this week. The second episode on this theme drops Thursday.

In this first episode, Terry talks about his faith experience and how he feels it's less appropriate in today's culture for Christian beliefs to be shared in public spaces as compared to other religions. He also chats about how banking regulations brought on after the financial crisis have been a point of conflict for small banks who don't have the capacity to meet all the new requirements.

Mariam and I discuss the story of Brexit: what happened, what's happening, and how it impacts the UK. Mariam recounts watching the votes come in last year and considers how her EU experience might change. Oh...and we give a pretty good review of Get Out.
