Randolf has a YouTube channel and is the founding President of the Canadian atheists, which aims to normalize atheism in Canadian society (and hopefully the world), and to present atheism in the best possible ways.  He occasionally post videos, primarily where atheism is the subject matter, although he also cover other topics from time-to-time.  If you'd like to discuss atheism or religion, or some other topic of interest, please feel free to contact him as I'd be happy to engage with you in a conversation or interview, or participate in a live debate.Talking about how "people are more important than ideas" is an attitude he's been presenting from time-to-time in promoting atheism, and it's partly in response to the attitudes of some religious people who believe that all life should revolve around religious doctrine (which is a collection of ideas).Randolf also touches on leadership, and encourage people to "be their own leaders" because in many scenarios leaders, despite even the best intentions, don't/can't have everyone's best interests at heart.  While leaders do serve important functions, I feel that each person is ultimately in a potentially-better position to know what their own best interests actually are.★ Support this podcast ★

Tara Galeano, founder of Rediscovering My Body and Boulder Sex Therapy, is an Author, Retreat Host, Speaker, and  Sex Therapist who has worked with women for over two decades to get their sexy back.She knows that there is pleasure in the body, beyond our wildest dreams, and every woman can access it. In “Rediscovering My Body”, Tara teaches women how to show up for pleasure in their lives. She rediscovered her own body after leaving her twenty-five-year marriage. Realizing that she had given so much of herself away, she knew that she needed to come back to the inherent wisdom of the body. Through reconnecting with her body, Tara was able to know what was true for her, how best to proceed from this wisdom, what was true pleasure, and most importantly, how to teach these lessons to other women who are clamoring for the same truths so that they too can transform their lives and reclaim their sensuality. Now Tara has embodied this path and is moving forward to share this with women everywhere with her book, her online courses, and community, and her retreats.Tara's Website | https://rediscoveringmybody.com★ Support this podcast ★

Erik and I stand with the protesters and activists who are calling for broad sweeping changes in our communities to end state sanctioned harassment and murder of black people. This episode  is exactly 8 minutes and 46 seconds long. This is the amount of time George Floyd was slowly choked to death while a crowd of onlookers pleaded for his murderer to cease this brutal behavior. We ask you to take the rest of this episode, which will be silence, to honor George Floyd's memory, as well as the hundreds, if not thousands, of brutalized and murdered black people in our communities over the past 413 years. We hope you will feel the sense of heartache and shame that we do. Even more, we hope that feeling will spur you to action and allyship with our black community.We will include links in the show notes with resources and further reading, as well as ways to get involved and make a difference.Peace at any price is actually tyranny of the powerless. While peace is the goal, the path is justice. The brutalization of black people by the state is neither peace nor justice. Not standing against it is standing for it.

Galeano had dreams of becoming an educator as a child— literally dreams.  She would explain the etymology of the English language and teach Shakespeare, before she'd even read his work. After graduating from college, she taught Beowulf and Macbeth to adult education students working on their high school diplomas. They were grandmas who wanted to proudly tell their grandchildren that they too had completed their high school education. Teens who needed to work during the day to support their families. Girls who were pregnant and waiting to give birth. She found that the content of the classes got in the way of her knowing these hardworking folks. So she gave up Macbeth and started focusing on the conversations. Eagerly, she learned more about her students, heard their stories, taught less, and listened more.Galeano joined us to share stories of life in Coronavirus and how people are connecting in this time of social distance.Promo: Voices of Misery Twitter: @VoicesofMiseryYou can follow Galeano on FB: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderSexTherapyOr find her on her website: https://bouldersextherapy.com/about/★ Support this podcast ★

Erik and Aicila hope you will be inspired to dive into the rich cultural landscape that is Black History. Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The Black History Month 2020 theme, “African Americans and the Vote,” is in honor of the centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) granting women's suffrage and the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) giving black men the right to vote.Promo: Time Sensitive: http://bit.ly/2TqrTDjMember Big Heads Media NetworkThe undefeated 44 | http://bit.ly/2tUlGXjWikipedia Black firsts | http://bit.ly/2OQJT85Milestones in Black History | http://bit.ly/2w9TUH2The Black Origins of Punk Music | http://bit.ly/2uzYT3AHistory of Black History month | http://bit.ly/39y7enaASALH | http://bit.ly/2Hou705Why Feb for Black History Month? | http://bit.ly/39CtNal★ Support this podcast ★

Aicila & Erik are excited to share their conversation with Theo Wilson.

Rev Roger Wolsey spent some time talking with us about his efforts to meet people who come from different perspectives and get to know them. He identifies as a liberal man who wants to reach across the aisle and get to know the men he has spent time judging. We loved his article, Tough Guys Need Friends, and Cancel Cancel Culture (both are linked below). His wisdom, humor, and dedication to a better world were inspirational.

Erik & Aicila decided to be festively serious and look into the history of Christmas. It was a fun romp through Roman month long parties called Saturnalia and medieval attempts at economic justice with a Lord of Misrule leading peasants in tormenting the wealthy if they refused to share their abundance. Whatever you believe or however you celebrate, it's a time of year that has been about more than the traditions of modern America. We hope you enjoy this exploration of past to better understand the present. And we very much hope you have a holly jolly holiday, this year. ★ Support this podcast ★

We figured since we are kind of nerdy and into this stuff and we have been massively confused about what impeachment is and why it mostly looks like an adolescent popularity contest (turns out that's how it's designed), we thought we would dig into it and share what we discovered in case any of you are having similar confusion. First a HUGE thank you to Jessica and the BodyCountPod Crew! She put together this fabulously helpful and engaging overview of impeachment history- http://bit.ly/2KBCM1iWe reference a few news articles and the constitution linked below, as well as things we looked at but didn't actually quote on the show. In the end, our best advice is to realize that impeachment is unlike any other form of court process you have experienced. In a lot of ways, it is about whether or we as a country believe that what happened is right or wrong, there isn't much in terms of objective data to compare with. We hope this helps!What is Impeachment? (from the dictionary of course) the action of calling into question the integrity or validity of something. "the prosecutor's detailed impeachment of the character witness" BRITISH a charge of treason or another crime against the state. "the king cynically abandoned him, encouraging his impeachment" US a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public office. "the president is facing impeachment over the scandal"Articles and items we referred to for this show:What is impeachment and how does it work_ 10 facts to know_  https://nbcnews.to/2O4wB7XAn impeached and convicted Trump could still run in 2020.

Erik and I wanted to know how he balances that so well. And since we were lucky enough to sit down with Terry, we asked him questions about his music career; other comics; possible new genre options for Strangers in Paradise; and other interesting tidbits. Terry was an amazing guest who offered us a peek under the ink. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording! Strangers in Paradise has won 2 GLAAD Media Awards and Terry has been nominated more than any other comic book author for GLAAD Media Awards and was nominated again in 2019. His work has won him recognition in the comics industry, including the Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story in 1996 for Strangers in Paradise #1-8, which was collected in the trade paperback "I Dream of You".Check out his website: https://abstractstudiocomics.com/ for more info. Tags: bicurean, podcast, terry_moore, comics, SIP, Strangers_in_Paradise★ Support this podcast ★
