One is a theologian, the other an attorney and former professor. Both are educated, articulate, lifelong friends of mine. We discuss a normally taboo topic for the podcast: politics. Is political violence - or the threat of it - ever a good thing? Do or should politicians use fear-mongering as a device for courting votes? Where should we get our news? We tackle these and other issues in this special two part episode.

The daughter of famed philosopher and Zen giant Alan Watts describes what it was like to grow up listening to the live lectures of Krishnamurti and Aldous Huxley; the counterculture movement in the 60s; what Alan Watts thought of her first husband; and her observations of his final years battling alcoholism.

She and her sister Anne Watts are the co-editors of The Collected Letters of Alan Watts. They have also very recently republished The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity by Alan Watts, as well as an amazing children's book based on a parable he wrote entitled The Fish Who Found the Sea (illustrated by award-winning artist Khoa Le).
