Ep 212212. Derek from Mythvision
Today’s episode is an absolute classic, because our guest Derek Lambert is just so candid and emotional as he tells his quite incredible story. Derek grew up with an alcoholic father in a religious household. As you’ll hear, he goes through some incredible highs and lows – mostly lows – in his adolescence, falling into addictive use of opiates and becoming addicted to heroin. He also became devoutly religious between episodes of intense drug use.

Ep 201201. Debating the Mexican ‘Barrio Nazi’ Pedro Gonzalez
The Barrio Nazi is a reference to Pedro Gonzalez’s twitter description, and it’s evidently something that has been thrown at him. Barrio because he is Mexican-American, and Nazi because he holds pretty right-wing views. As many of you know, I see myself as a centrist, or a moderate, and online I’m often insulted as a centrist dad despite having no children, or enlightened centrist, which is supposed to suggest people in the middle are arrogant or know-it-alls, or whatever. I hold that I’ll talk to people on all sides of the political spectrum and try to find agreement and understanding as much as possible with whoever I’m talking to. Today, I do this with Pedro Gonzalez, whose views are a little to the Right for me.

Ep 170From Revisionist History: The Relative Age Effect
bonusI'm sharing a bonus episode from a podcast I love, Revisionist History. Revisionist History is bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast about things misunderstood and overlooked. This season, Malcolm’s obsessed with experiments – natural experiments, scientific experiments, thought experiments. In this episode, Revisionist History explores a category of privilege that’s often ignored: age. He heads to the University of Pennsylvania to examine how this overlooked privilege plays out in the classroom.

Ep 170170. How to leave your Psychopath
Today, writer comedian and actor Maddy Anholt talks to us about how to leave your psychopath. That’s also the name of the book, which I would thoroughly recommend as it is really funny while also being quite daunting, sad and informative.

Ep 168168. The Murders of the Vatican Church | Kevin Annett
Kevin Annett is a former minister of the United Church of Canada, he holds masters in Political Science and Divinity. After exposing the murder of children at his church’s Alberni Indian Residential School, he was unceremoniously fired and expelled from the ministry. My Saturday episodes are usually plucked from the livestream that I do on Wednesdays on the Shaun Attwood channel. That means that these episodes are a little different – they’re live, so not edited as smoothly, and I field some questions from the viewers.
