BRC & Friends

Today on BRC and Friends, Bruce is back with a minisode summer check-in with co-hosts Jorge Bautista and Laura Mariko Cheifetz. As usual, they riff off of a few prompts from Bruce. While they take on the January 6th hearings, Britney Griner, and the Supreme court, they also share about having covid and counting popsicles; who has the best tacos, Northern or Southern California, and how we keep at it in a time of so much political crappiness. This episode also gives you new theme music from Merissa Magdael-Lauron. Thanks for being here! Grab a beverage, pull up a chair, and welcome to BRC & Friends and our Summer Check-in Minisode!

Welcome to The BRC & Friends Podcast where you will get to know activists, artists, academics, and adventurers who are committed to making the world a better place. In Episode 52, Bruce (he/him), along with co-host Laura Mariko Cheifetz (she/her) speaks with guest John Edgerton, lead pastor at First United Church of Oak Park, Illinois, and also the first white guest on the podcast since its reboot. Bruce begins by asking John and Laura, “What is something that you have no control over, but brings you joy.” But first, Bruce shares a personal update: he's completed his tenure as pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Palo Alto. Thanks to long Covid, he's taking a break but will still continue to podcast. John's church in Oak Park recently became a target of right-wing ire when the congregation launched a Lenten program called ‘fasting from whiteness' where they decided to only going to music composed by non-white composers. The news travelled far and wide — including to the UK, where it was covered by The Daily Mail — and John was at the receiving end of accusations of ‘reverse racism' and the decision was called ‘wokeness run amok'. You'll find out how Bruce got embroiled in all of this, waking up to a bunch of alerts on Google for his name. The hosts and guest also speak about Chicago's history of segregation and anti-racist activism, and how white-centredness can be extricated from Christian culture. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to The BRC & Friends Podcast where you will get to know activists, artists, academics, and adventurers who are committed to making the world a better place. In Episode 50 you get to meet the other two co-hosts of the show: Jorge Bautista (he/him) and Micky Scottbey Jones (she/her). Jorge is a pastor at a United Church of Christ congregation in San Mateo, California. Micky is a coach and justice doula, currently based in Nashville, Tennessee and she sees her work as a doula being translated to other avenues of life — where she accompanies people who are birthing something into the world. Bruce chats with his co-hosts to get to know them a bit better, starting with figuring out how he met both of them. Did he meet Micky at a conference and walk up to her after realizing they were the only two people of color in the room? He can't remember, but this sounds quite realistic. Bruce and Jorge chat about how they met at a protest event in support of migrants crossing the border to the US, and about being handcuffed together in a police vehicle. You can expect chats about childhood memories evoked by scents (peach turnovers, microwaved popcorn) and why our hosts don't fully understand why the NFL, horror movies, and beer are as widely liked as they are.
