We've all encountered it in one form or a thousand, in this episode we tackle the heavy subject of death, loss and grief with our usual informative, light-hearted and inquisitive style. Tune in and see how much you think you know about death and burial in the Hot Seat quiz, hear some book/movie and podcast recommendations and then expand and deepen with us through some good pod fodder from "It Just Happens" from the podcast "Terrible, Thanks for Asking." If you're looking for a great resource on your grief, I've written a review of the book "It's OK that you're not OK" by Megan Devine, which can be found here: https://becoming-anew.blogspot.com/2018/08/ok-youre-not-ok.html

This episode we tackle the void of the oft ostracized emotion of anger--what gets to you and why, how do you respond and calm down, etc. For fun we dig into a couple of songs that have baffled us for years, "Come On Eileen" and one of MJ's classics. Our Pod Fodder unpacks Hidden Brain's "Screaming into the Void" about some teenagers being confronted on the Washington mall from January 2019 and the role that social media played in firing people up and what we can do differently to prevent our emotions from getting the best of us moving forward. Thanks for your ears!

What does it mean to be free? We likely answer that question differently based on the color of our skin, gender, where we live, etc. In honor of Juneteenth and July 4th, this week we tackle the tough conversation around freedom from the perspective of our whiteness and how this "unwillful blindness" affects not only our neighbors of color but ultimately, ourselves and our interaction in the world.
