Hi everyone.  We are back and refreshed after a week off for the Memorial Day Holiday.  This episode is all about the good old days and what nostalgia is all about.  This was sparked by TikTok sensation Whiteyy18 and the onslaught of 80s nostalgia that caused women of a certain age to fly their cougar flags for the last two weeks (and it shows no signs of slowing down).  Marc and Kristina talk about what nostalgia is, has it always been a thing, and whether it is dangerous.  We also give you a crash course in what's going on with this 21 year old Canadian man on TikTok so that by the time it makes it to your Facebook feeds you will be in the know.

Thank you for supporting us each week and we would be grateful, if you like us, if you would share us with a friend.

In this episode we explore some theories for what happens after death.  This is not a discussion about ghosts or heaven, but simply a conversation about whether consciousness dies with the body or if it is instead able to somehow transcend death.  We discuss mediums, near death experience, and reincarnation using Leslie Kean's book Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates the afterlife and its companion Netflix Documentary called Surviving Death.  Please share us with a friend and follow us on social media (linktree below).  Thank you so much for coming to listen to us each week.

In this episode, Kristina and Mark discuss Sarah Berman's new book "Don't Call it a Cult" and revisit the NXIVM sex cult.  We explore concepts of consent, how and if Keith Raniere and Harvey Weinstein run parallel but are really quite different types of apex predators, and what the fuck was Keith doing that made these women believe his game.

The "Clips Episode" is a time-honored tradition on network television. Whenever the writers felt particularly creatively bankrupt, they would air a Clips Episode. Justified by a flimsy Frame Story, the show mostly featured short vignettes from past episodes. Marc, our intrepid hero, is struck in the head by a baseball hat and descends into a deamlike state from which he remembers his glorious past as a podcaster. Join us, if you will, as we take this very special journey down the halls of the Xtemporaneous archives.

In this episode we begin a multi episode arc about Death and Dying focusing here on what is death, personal experience with death and an exploration of the rituals that happen when people dispose of their dead.  As serious as it sounds, there are some very funny moments in this episode, including the death of a fly which freaks Kristina out.  We will be adding our sources tomorrow to the notes.

In this episode we look at a few different ways that entertainment powers that be have been engaging with problematic films, books, and fine art. They aren't really being cancelled but our eyes are not closed to the issues anymore, sneetches!!
