Brainstorm Podcast

In this episode of the Skeptic Studio, Cory, Lisa, and Destin talk to Tom Curry. Tom is one of the co-hosts on the podcasts Cognitive Dissonance and Citation Needed. It was kind of a undirected conversation but it was a lot of fun and we touched on a lot of different topics.

In this episode of Brainstorm's Skeptic Studio Cory talks to Felicia Entwistle. Felicia is a co-host on the Utah Outcasts podcast and Youtube show.  She has moved closer and closer to socialism and communism over time until a little while ago she openly identified herself as a communist. This conversation is about that transformation and some of the ideas that she accepts because of it.

For Patrons there is an extra 30 minutes on the topic of sex work.
