Just because they are there doesn't mean they are right - or that what they say is true. But you have the power to change that dialogue! In this podcast, Michelle will share with you the methods she uses to reprogram her 'loop tapes' - by acknowledging them, listening to them and yes even arguing with them. YOU have the power to change what that little voice says and when you don't like it - Shut your 'But'!Michelle BudiwskiImportant topics, real dialogues, rational debate, sense of humour - that's the content on FUN - The FU_Network!

In the wake of civil unrest stemming from police-involved violence against minorities and tactics in suppressing protests, the notion of 'Defunding' police has gained traction. Some want to abolish police altogether, others believe diverting money from police budgets to social services will see an increase in positive outcomes. Is either side right? Is either side wrong? Will diverting police funding be a panacea or a pitfall?Stephen Lautens (@stephenlautens) and Steven Kerzner (@stevenjkerzner) weight into this fractious debate and, even they can't fully agree with each other. Engaging and maybe enraging. Have a listen, then comment and share/Like the podcast.FU_Politics brings you real opinions of real people. Informed dialogue without paid pundits or political proxies.

Broken Clock: Is Defunding The Police Logical?There's a lot of chatter on social media about defunding police departments, eith reducing and re-allocating fuding or abolishing police completely, replaced by citizen patrols. The emotion behind it can be seen in the unrest in the US and parts of Canada, but where's the logic?? This question's the starting point for a wide-ranging dialogue between Liana Kerzner (@redlianak) and Maus Merryjest about just how deep and messy the issues are that manifest in police brutality.At FU_Politics we take essential conversations and bring them down-to-earth. No paid pundits or poilitics proxies, no jargon or textbook terminology, just clever, insightful takes on today's most pressing issues.
