The world can feel chaotic and out of control these days. Did you know that the key to dealing with it and finding a sense of well-being is actually something that is immediately accessible to you? Join me this week for an absolutely dynamic, deep dive conversation as we find the answer to this question with bestselling author, film producer, Taoist minister and Doctor of Oriental medicine, Pedram Shojai.

A Taoist monk for several years, Pedram decided his real place was back in the real world where he could really make a difference. Pedram will show you the way to find greater happiness, vitality, and learn how to stay focused in a world of chaos.

Meet Robin and Jaimie. They’re lesbian moms (NOT MARRIED TO EACH OTHER) who set out to find LGBTQ parenting stories and ended up starting a podcast—and, now, writing a book: If These Ovaries Could Talk: The Things We’ve Learned About Making an LGBTQ Family. It’s a great read based on a great show. It’s also an important one because stories about how LGBTQ folks become parents are as diverse as each letter of the acronym, yet rarely do they get the airtime they deserve.

Get ready to laugh and learn with the women behind If These Ovaries Could Talk!

We begin our series with Denver's own, and our friends, The Mazlows. The Mazlows are a pop punk powerhouse that hails from Denver, Colorado. Formed in 2017, the four-piece band released their debut album "Community Locker" in August 2020 after a year and a half in the making.

You might recognize The Mazlows as one of the acts that performed on The Hallow Stream, our Halloween streaming fundraiser we did back in October, and this episode comes from that session. Recorded and mixed at The Keep studios in Denver by engineer Nick Sullivan, The Mazlows were kind enough to perform several songs from their new album "Community Locker". Loudspeaker is also partnering with The Mazlows to bring "Community Locker" to vinyl through our ColoRadio Selects program. Pre-orders are now available with shipping in early 2021. Only 250 copies are being pressed, so make sure to secure your copy today.

On this episode, the crew discuss their plans for Thanksgiving in the face of COVID. We also discuss Friendsgiving and Priest D has 3 questions he would like to ask.

Light some candles and get cozy. This week, I’m featuring a guest who has had a profound personal influence on me: Dr. Kate Tomas, creator of the Spiritual Life Upgrade program and the Money Magic Manifestation course. Kate is a psychic, a witch, and a spiritual empowerment mentor who specializes in helping women and femmes activate their power. She’s also an anti-capitalist who’s ready to hex racists and burn it all to the ground!

Everything is an energy game, and I highly recommend you direct some of your energy toward Dr. Kate if you have questions about how to remove money blocks, set boundaries, say “no” to losers, or anything else, really. She’s literally magick!

Schizophrenia is often a misunderstood diagnosis, portrayed in movies and TV as something to be feared in others. But what if that "other" was your own son?

Our guest this week is mental health advocate, and author of the new book "Noah's Schizophrenia: A Mother's Search for Truth", Kartar Diamond. Kartar takes us on her journey as a mother and the often bumpy road she has been on with her son Noah.
