This week I welcome back Dr. Mark Horowitz, professor of sociology, to discuss the pros and cons and shortcomings of intersectionality, a feminist model of how the various minority groups in our culture can experience oppression across overlapping group boundaries. This has become a difficult and often heated topic for many and some have even gone to an extremist end to enforce these ideas. Enjoy!

This week I’m joined by Owen Morgan (Telltale Atheist) to discuss a little theory I have as to why it can be so difficult to talk about religion with people; we discuss how real religions are distinct from cults and how to be a more moderating influence in these troubled times. Enjoy!

This week I’m joined by Gary LeLeux, a career soldier who has some fascinating stories and views to share on his time in Afghanistan and Iraq and where we stand now, including thoughts about whether the military is a kind of cult and which movies get it right when it comes to showing what combat is really like. Enjoy!

Ever since I had John P Capitalist on a few months ago to discuss the “sovereign citizens” movement and some of the legal chicanery they get up to, I’ve had questions about how they misunderstand the law and why. This week I have Ciprian Ivanof on to answer questions about how the legal system works and most importantly, what we all should know about it to better understand how not to be taken advantage of and to know your rights. Enjoy!
