On this episode, I chat with Tom Stevens, a Canadian actor who is best known for his role as Jason Higgins on Fox TV’s Wayward Pines. He has also appeared in Moonshine, The 100, The Good Doctor, Supernatural, Deadly Class, Cedar Cove, Falling Skies, and Arrow. We chat about his early life, career and what fame means to him.

The Superficial Spirit is a podcast that explores how pop culture affects our spiritual experiences and seeks to uncover unconventional ways people experience the divine…Every episode explores a different area of spirituality including tarot, crystals, psychics, manifesting, plant medicine and modern new-age trends. In the podcast, we ask questions like is modern spirituality a cult? Is Ayahuasca really that profound? Are psychics and tarot even real? What about fame, money, sex and social media? How do they affect our spirituality? Can the superficial really be profound? Ultimately, we believe in one thing: spirituality is real but the tools we use to define it may not be magical at all.

The Superficial Spirit is hosted by Peter Breeze, a former club kid and underground pop star who found success in queer clubs across Canada and America. He believes that his time as a fame-obsessed, hard-partying club-kid was a conduit for his spirituality and is passionate to connect with people who've also had unconventional or scandalous experiences exploring their own spirituality. Peter shamelessly explores the spiritual power of celebrities like Britney Spears, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton and The Real Housewives.

Guests include RuPaul's Drag Race Superstars, Reality TV stars, Scientists, witches, psychics, tarot readers, naturopathic doctors and regular people who've been affected by modern Spirituality.

It’s time we take a deeper look at the people, projects, and moments in pop culture that have used spirituality, religion, or the occult as a vehicle for creativity. And who better to start with than Madonna and her song “Like A Prayer”? What kind of symbolism did this song use? What were her motives? And what kind of effect did it have on her fans? We also chat about her connection to Kabala and how it seemed to inspire a wave of celebrity support in the early 2000s. Remember that little red string? So, we ask the question, can religion be fashionable?

Ok so Kim Petras released a new song called If Jesus Was A Rockstar and I thought it was a nice example of spirituality/religion making a cameo in a pop song and wondered if it could provide an opportunity for Kim’s fans to consider or re-conceptualize Jesus/religion/spirituality. Let’s just say we did not come to a consensus.

Ok, so I was accused of hating all wealthy people this week when I shared my opinions about the way personal boundaries manifest in reality tv. I think there is a certain level of personal accountability when you knowingly open your personal life up to be consumed by entertainment.

Other topics discussed

* Kathy Hilton VS Lisa Rinna

* All Billionaires Are B******s

* Vancouver’s recent election

I saw the movie Bro’s and it made me feel a whole bunch of things: pride that there is a gay rom-com out there in the mainstream, excitement and jealousy for the next generation who gets to grow up in a world with more visibility to queer stories and also a sense of longing for the young, fearless performer I used to be.

Other topics discussed:

* Dating and loneliness in gay men

* Grindr and sex
