Podcast appearances and mentions of alex garner

A discussion of Jeff Vandermeer's novel Annihilation, in which the Spiders can't help comparing it to Alex Garner's film adaptation, in particular the ways in which one character's arc turns her outward while the other's turns her inward.

This episode was livestreamed on October 14, 2023.

Alex Garner tweets as Alexander the Great. It's a fitting name, because he reminds me of a roman legion commander, perhaps the modern Miami version. A former Coca Cola employee and founder of the mixed-cocktail brand Yumix, he's obsessed with the notions of tribes in today's online/offline world. How do you evaluate someone's character if you can't see them in person? But how do you meet anyone interesting if everyone interesting is on Twitter? As Indian Bronson pointed out, and as I have personally experienced (with Indian Bronson himself), is that people in our world all have two names.Alex and I discuss his project Guild of Greats (formerly Based Brotherhood), an attempt to build a tribe of high quality men manifested outside the mainstream. Designed to bring about a new sort of greatness.The mission echoes other similar projects like Palestra Society and Exit Group, the latter of which I discussed with founder on an earlier episode. There is an overwhelming craving for war bands that can form and occupy islands outside the polluted mainstream. Then to use those islands to build both alternative economies and to use as launching points for raiding missions against the seemingly unassailable forces of globalism. This project necessarily implicates capitalism itself, as entrepreneurships is one of the few areas where genuinely dissident activities are still allowed (just ask Dissident Soaps). The only way to beat them is to outsell them.A defector from the corporatocracy—a CPG cowboy, if you will—Alex sees tribal formation as the only way out. He talks about how to build both groups of men and the pipelines we need to support them.

Join us as we talk about the nature of man in contrast with our previous episode on the holiness of God. I'm joined again by Alex Garner, who was with us in our last episode on Sharing the Gospel 005.

We are joined by Alex Garner from Intents Offroad to discuss the famous Gibb River Road in the Kimberley. Stretching 660km between Derby and Kununurra, this old stock route explores some beautiful country including Windjana Gorge, Mitchell Falls, El Questro and Purnululu National Park.

 AIDS 2018 - Part II The International AIDS Conference occurs every two years somewhere around the globe. This year AIDS 2018 is held in Amsterdam. Many people may recall Melbourne hosting the event just four years ago – AIDS 2014. Our latest episode marks the closing of AIDS 2018 in Amsterdam, and Michael and Cal wrap up on some highlights from the conference. The conference offers an opportunity for the international HIV and AIDS community to gather to find out the latest developments in the global response to the epidemic. Well, Well, Well's Cal was at the conference to adsorb the community mobilisation, and key findings from research which informs the way we look at and respond to the changing landscape of HIV in Australia and abroad. With the help of Michael back in the JOY 94.9 studios we were able to unpack just some of the highlights from the course of AIDS 2018 including: Three distinct stories highlighting Indigenous voices from across the globe Peter Waples-Crowe from Thorne Harbour Health speaks to the lack of Australian indigenous representation on a global scale, and what we can learn from other indigenous communities in our own work in health promotion Paula Simonsen, a Sami woman from Northern Norway speaks to the state of HIV, stigma, and barriers to testing and treatment for HIV in northern Europe for first nations peoples. Trevor Stratton, A Coordinator for International Indigenous Working Group on HIV and AIDS, speaks about three distinct local indigenous peoples in Canada - and the film Strong Medicine which targets those populations in an authentic way. Pron4PrEP, an innovative way to contexualise the use of PrEP, and U=U in an adult film setting using stark and explicit imagery juxtaposed with talking heads validating and confirming the stories told through an (often explicit) pronographic setting. Cal talks with Jason Domino from The Porn4PrEP website which contains explicit and non-explicit versions of the video mentioned in this podcast. How social networking app Hornet is responding to global LGBTI criminalisation through their campaign #DecriminalizeLGBT. Cal talks with Alex Garner from Hornet Finally, Cal touches base with George Ayala from M-PACT (formerly MSMGF) about the potential barriers to AIDS2020 being held in San Francisco & Oakland, California. What does that mean for those unable to travel to the U.S.A under restrictive travel bans, and how does that mirror what has happened at the International AIDS Conference in histroy?   This show, Episode #630 originally aired Thursday 2nd August, 2018.

On this session of the Roundtable, the panel discusses when you should stick with your current project and when to start over.  This can be an emotionally difficult decision.  The group gives their thoughts on the decision making process.  On the Overland Roundtable panel this session we have:   Brandon Libby - https://www.instagram.com/overland_kitted/ and https://www.facebook.com/OverlandKitted/  Ben Allreed - https://www.instagram.com/offroadpodcast/ and https://www.facebook.com/OffRoadPodcast/  Adam Schalow - https://www.facebook.com/overlandhistory/ and https://www.instagram.com/overland_history/  - Also at Blue Ridge Overland Gear https://www.instagram.com/blueridgeoverlandgear/  Alex Garner - https://www.instagram.com/intentsoffroad/, https://www.facebook.com/IntentsOffroad/, and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Pw9gbXhykd0xXHKYyV83g          What do you guys think about AEV’s concept camper?

On session 5 of the Overland Roundtable, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various camp setups that are popular amongst overland travelers. The rooftop tend is a trendy, and expensive, accessory but it may not be right for you.  The ground tent is widely accessible but has some characteristics that may not be well suited a long trips or wet environments.  We had the pleasure of having Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland join us to discuss his expertise with Four Wheel pop-up campers.  Four Wheel Campers slide into a pickup bed and transform your truck into an offroad ready camper with all the creature comforts you can imagine.    Guest Panelist: Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland Matt Henwood serves as MLO's President, and has a deep passion for overlanding since it blends two loves: motor sports and the great outdoors. An SCCA enduro race driver, off-road rally enthusiast, and motorcyclist, Matt also enjoys rowing, hunting, fly fishing, hiking with his wife Kristen and their dog Gunner, and exploring new areas of the world whenever possible. Expeditions in various modes of travel include: Utah, Colorado, Vermont, Maine, Alaska, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Iceland, Europe, and South Africa. He has a rich automotive background, from restoring English classics, German sports cars, and American hot rods, to classic and modern 4×4s and motorcycles. He's also an experienced welder and fabricator of many of MLO’s custom products. Matt holds an MBA in marketing. Matt works closely with customers to help make their overland dream vehicles come to life, and is also in charge of Four Wheel Campers and Adventure Trailers sales for MLO.
