  • EP 20: Genocide: The Hollow Word

    In this episode I read my Substack essay, Genocide: The Hollow Word. I speak about Aaron Bushnell and how purpose can be given to his vain death, the value of language and the need to preserve it, and the notion of 'genocide' in Israel/Palestine.

  • EP19: Dr. David Patterson: Judaism, Nazism, The Holocaust, Terrorism, and Islam

    In this episode I speak with Dr. David Patterson about the Jewish faith, the history of anti-semitism, the Nazis, and the moral relativism surrounding the conflict in Israel. Dr. David Patterson is well read on the subject and is an esteemed academic in the sector of Jewish studies. We reveal the linkage of ancient anti-semitism to the nazis and then to modern day terrorist sympathies. I hope to have more conversations like this and am grateful for the opportunity to learn.

  • EP18: Shirley Roper and Westboro Baptist: A Productive Conversation

    In this episode I have a difficult and stifling conversation with the daughter of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, Shirley Roper. The Westboro Baptist Church is infamous around the world, and though few in number, they manage to cause quite the controversy. Though interesting, this conversation is stifling, difficult, and quite circular. I hope to improve my craft with every episode. Thank you for sticking with me on this journey.

    Another year is upon us, and many of us have failed to account for the processes and capabilities of our minds. We need a radical transformation of our willingness to digest reality. Happy New Year.

As usual, thank you for listening.
