Debunking Christian Nationalism w/ Andrew Seidel

Apr 19 2024 55 mins  
“As we recognize that humans are human, and worthy of human rights, conservative white america is dying this slow demographic death and rebelling.” Why is it that the exact arguments used against trans people and DEI were being used in defense of slavery in pre emancipation America? I reached out to Andrew Seidel to discuss this patter because he wrote about and debunked all th

Skills for Building Resilience w/ Andre Henry! 💥

Apr 12 2024 67 mins  
CW ⚠️: this episode contains references to suicide and diets. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis in the US or Canada you can dial 988 to get support. Fan fave Andre Henry is back to talk about the practice of building resilience in the context of supremacist culture. Honestly, this conversation had me tearing up in places, and yet left me completely inspired and gro

Evangelical Racism Keeps Repeating 🔂 w/ Corey Leak

Apr 05 2024 47 mins  
Why is it that the same arguments used to defend slavery are being used to dehumanize trans people? Why is it that there's no way for most white evangelicals to separate their faith and their nationalism? Why is the Constitution conflated with the Bible? Corey and Tori try to disentangle Christianity from Americanism You can find Corey on IG: @existentialpodcast Existential Po

Debunking That One Prager Meme w/ Benjamin Faye

Mar 29 2024 53 mins  
Today we are taking a crack at ye olde Prager "University" meme about the first Black US representatives, which correctly points out that they were all Republicans and incorrectly implies that their party affiliation mattered for much, then or now. Turns out, they were woke too! Don't tell Dennis! LINKS Benji's Insta: ⁠@heythereBenji⁠ Benji's Twitter: ⁠

Mary Richards Bowser w/ Janice Lagata

Mar 22 2024 57 mins  
I've been wanting to try a new format for the show for a while so I took a stab at it this week with Janice Lagata of God Has Not Given. We talk about the fascinating true story of Mary Richards Bowser, a Union spy who was also enslaved. I would LOVE to know what you think about this format, mainly because if you all hate it, I don't want to keep trying to make it happen! �

Resilience Isn't An Unlimited Resource with Benjamin Faye

Mar 15 2024 55 mins  
Benjamin Faye joins the show to talk about how grit and resilience mean different things depending on your position in society. Resilience isn't an unlimited resource. The science and experience tell us that is an impossible demand to make on people, doubly so for those who do not have their basic needs met.

Black & Homeschooled with Jessica Dulaney

Apr 18 2022 36 mins  
This episode I'm talking to Jessica Dulaney  who is the communications director for the Coalition for Responsible Home Education. Being Black and homeschooled felt incredibly isolating to me. Growing up, I never once met another Black child who was being homeschooled that I wasn't biologically related to, so being able to connect with Jessica online has been amazing. Protectin

Who Gets To Define Violence?

Apr 11 2022 16 mins  
Personal and political violence are nothing new but examining who is allowed to engage in violence and who isn't is essential to understanding the power dynamics we've built the world on. "They do it so we should to" is colonizer logic and I think we can do better than that when it comes to race, racism, and understanding why people feel threatened by the prospect of losing power.&

Whiteness Also Hurts White People

Apr 04 2022 26 mins  
We spend a lot of time talking about the effects of whiteness on people of color but it's important to talk about the impact whiteness has on white people. As a construct, whiteness can only benefit some white people. And even the people who benefit materially are harmed in terms of connection, sympathy, and the demand that you reject your own culture for the monoculture of whitene

Give Reverse Racism A Chance

Mar 28 2022 21 mins  
What does it look like when we start dismantling systems of oppression that benefit a small number of people at the expense of everyone else? Black and Indigenous folks are regularly accused of reverse racism for things that are merely offenses, not systematic harm. But to your nervous system, the opposite of systemic racism is probably going to feel bad. In fact, it's probably goi
