Welcome to Through the Keyhole. I am your humble host, Jeremy Kee. On this episode of The Keyhole I had the distinct pleasure to talk to Ms. Happy Madden. Happy is a fellow counselor here in Dallas, a former colleague of mine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, and a friend. We discussed, among other things:

The list of things we were not able to talk about far surpasses the list of things we did, so find Happy and hound her to become a regular on the show.

On this episode of Through the Keyhole, Jeremy is joined by Dr. James Hanink, the former California gubernatorial candidate for the American Solidarity Party (ASP). Dr. Hanink and Jeremy discuss:

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to talk to Dr. Hanink. It was so refreshing to speak to a politician who is honest and relatable. Case in point: you will have to remind yourself that Dr. Hanink is, technically, a politician!

**If you are bothered by the corruption of the contemporary two-party system here in the US**, whether you are a Republican or Democrat, "conservative", liberal, progressive, woke - whatever you are, there is something to grab onto on the platform of the American Solidarity Party. Give them a look!

In this episode of Through the Keyhole, I speak with Adam Lane Smith, a coach, former therapist, and expert on Attachment Theory. What is attachment theory, you may ask? What a great question! Attachment theory, in short, is the way we view ourselves and the way we think others view us. This influences *every* aspect of your life - romantic relationships, friendships, work, everything. In this episode, Adam and I discuss:

On this episode of The Keyhole it was my distinct privilege to talk to Dr. Brad Birzer, a historian and professor at Hillsdale College, a biographer of such men as J.R.R. Tolkien, Russell Kirk, and Christopher Dawson among others. He is also the editor of The Imaginative Conservative, an online journal for those who seek the True, the Good, and the Beautiful in the tradition of Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot, Edmund Burke and other leaders of so called 'Imaginative Conservatism.' Dr. Birzer and I discuss:

For Ch. 3 I was joined by Ms. Kaitlyn Facista, founder and proprietor of the Tea with Tolkien online community. As I am sure you can imagine, or focus for the episode was the life, works, and faith of the English author, J.R.R. Tolkien. In particular, Kaitlyn and I discussed:

This was such a fun conversation. I cannot wait to have Kaitlyn back on for more. We referenced a lot of different books in this one, so be sure to check out the works cited below.

On this episode of The Keyhole I was given the honor to speak with Ms. Noelle Mering, a wife, mother, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and author of the recently released Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology. We discuss:

At the end of the episode, we turn our attention toward Ms. Mering's other work as the co-author and editor of the Theology of Home series of books. In these books, Mering and her co-author, Carrie Gress, discuss the importance of making one's home or other living space somewhere that is warm, welcoming, and fostering of ones values and beliefs. 

It was a very good conversation. If you enjoyed it, please consider liking, following, sharing, subscribing, etc. It helps the show grow and reach a wider audience. Please note, also, that this was the first recorded episode, so apologies if it's a bit rough.

Can anything good come from Twitter? Can pain and suffering ever lead to redemption? How does one address the cynicism and nihilism of our time? These are just a few of the topics covered in this, the inaugural episode of Through the Keyhole, a new podcast that seeks to shed light on the good, the beautiful, and the true in an otherwise darkening age.
