Podcasts about bad people

Keith Rosson's 2019 novel Smoke City is a supernatural character study that somehow makes the road trip adventure shared by a loose-cannon pop artist, a reluctant immortal, and a would-be ghost hunter into something much more poignant that one might expect. Jack and Kate hitch a ride with this motley crew and learn whether or not the real treasure is, in fact, the friends we make along the way. Why does absolutely everyone in LA have a doorman? What is it that makes a dive bar truly magical? Is it ever wise to start a fight with a headbutt? All these questions and more will be explored in this episode of Bad Books for Bad People.

Chad Myers and I talk about the latest piece from The Embassy - The Good People and The Bad People.Here is an excerpt:About four or five years ago, a friend gave me a copy of Richard Beck's book Unclean: Meditations on Purity, Hospitality, and Mortality. In this book, Beck explores how we view concepts like purity and contamination in our culture (and other cultures) and how that transfers to our view of people. Often, the people we tend to reject are those who move us to disgust. Our rejection of them is partly a reflection of that disgust. Beck asks us to imagine a glass of juice into which he drops a cockroach and stirs it around. After removing the bug, do we want the juice? Almost everyone would say no. But Beck, citing the work of Psychologists Paul Rozin and April Fallon, shares that after the juice is filtered in a way that ensures all traces of the cockroach have been removed - even if the juice is boiled after filtering - most people refuse to drink the juice. It has been contaminated for us, it has failed the purity test in a way that is permanent. It is an example of a kind of fear of contamination that comes from a reaction of disgust. Disgust and fear can be related - we fear coming into contact with what disgusts us. It is also an example of what is called negativity dominance. A small amount of the negative dominates and contaminates the larger amount. It doesn't matter if it is a 12 ounce glass of juice or a gallon, or if it is a small or a large bug, the result is the same. The clean juice doesn't counteract the bug, instead, it is contaminated in its entirety.As I said, I read Beck's book about four or five years ago but pulled it off my shelf to take another look after receiving a text from another friend. He sent me a link to an interview of comedian Tim Dillon by CNN's Elle Reeve. In his text, he described as the hour and ten minute long interview as “one of the more painful interviews I've ever witnessed.” Of course I watched the whole thing. Painful is not a bad description, I thought it had a bit of a train-wreck quality. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I found it fascinating.Dillon is a successful and popular comedian with a successful and popular podcast. He is a bit hard to pin down. I think that is a good thing, more of us should be a bit hard to pin down. I'll come back to that. Dillon is gay, irreverent, irreligious (I believe), a liberal of sorts politically, but heterodox, eclectic in his thinking. As such, he has been critical of positions taken by the right and the left, politically and culturally. He has been critical of positions I hold. I forgive him this indiscretion because he is very funny.I know nothing about Reeve aside from this interview. On the other hand, the interview was an hour and ten minutes long and I watched all of it. In my reading, Reeve represented a stance that is all too familiar in our culture - and I don't just mean it is reflected in the media, though it is prominent there. It seems to be an assumption underlying many of our interactions, social media or conversations or whatever, regarding any number of topics related to the culture and politics.Reeve's assumption, underlying far more than half of her questions, is that there are good people and bad people. She repeatedly asked Dillon about trends in comedy, in the podcast universe, in politics that had a very similar theme. There are good people and bad people, Reeve clearly assumed herself to be one of the good people, and assumed it is the job of the good people - be they comedians, podcasters, journalists, or politicians, to expose the bad people as bad. She never attempted to make the case for this assumption, she never argued for it, it was, to her, unquestioned. This assumption manifested itself in many ways, but most prominently, Reeve considered some of Dillon's podcast guests to be bad and wanted Dillon to do more to expose their badness. She also seemed to bemoan the reality of podcasters in general talking to politicians without asking them “are you bad?”I don't have an opinion about the podcasts that she asked about - I haven't heard any of them. But I think this good people / bad people assumption is behind much of our cultural division and, quite frankly, makes us dumber. As Dillon was pushing back on her assumption, Reeve said, “these are not my ‘are you bad?' questions”, to which Dillon replied, “we are all bad.” Reeve then attempted to make a soft case that Dillon was bad, in a ‘if I was going to make the case, it would look like this' sort of way. I think she thought, and wanted it to be clear to us, that she thought Dillon was one of the bad people (and she was doing her good people duty by pointing it out).Dillon's response that we are all bad, though probably he is not aware of it, has a grounding in Christian theology. We are all flawed, we are all broken, we all need redemption. We should not sit in judgment, certainly not in condemnation, of others.The good people / bad people assumption (again, it is not argued for, it is simply assumed) generally means that I assume the good people position. I am joined by the people who are “like me”, the other “good people.” I or we are in a position to judge, to condemn, the badness of others. But I don't need to be too self-critical. I am one of the good people.I'm not naive, I am aware that some people seem to do a higher percentage of bad things than others. However, the proposition that my own percentage is 0 or so low that it has no real effect in the world is worse than naive. Moreover, even people who allegedly fit into the bad category may be right in this or that particular case, they may say something true that I should hear. Which I won't if I make it the hallmark of the good person never to listen to the bad people. Which I also won't if I think any contact with the bad people contaminates me permanently. I must stay away, I must not platform, I must condemn - in order to maintain my purity as one of the good people. After all, the smallest exposure to the impurity of the bad people threatens to contaminate me entirely.One of the results of this assumption, painfully obvious in the interview, is a lack of genuine curiosity about other people - especially if we have already classified them as good or bad. Reeve lacked curiosity about what Dillon would say in response to her and, therefore, seemed to miss much of what he was saying. Or she didn't interact with it, choosing instead to pursue the good/bad dichotomy. As I said, Dillon is a bit hard to pin down, a bit of a contradiction or mystery that I find interesting, but that is lost on Reeve, or on anyone else who is only interested in the moral classification. When we put ourselves in this position, we stop listening, we stop being challenged, we stop refining our own thinking. We are far poorer for it and so is our culture. Just to be clear, I find myself agreeing with Dillon sometimes and disagreeing with him maybe a bit more of the time. But if I allow myself to listen, I get to know something about someone else, I learn something about what they think, and, with Dillon, I often laugh.Check out the whole piece.

Send us a textYou wouldn't think that the Kingdom of Heaven would have bad people in it but it has good "and" bad people. That's because the Kingdom of Heaven is God's authority n the earth and the Kingdom of God is His throne room in Heaven.Jesus told a story about wheat and tares sown in a field. the field is the church, the wheat is the believers and tares or weeds the false Christians. Listen carefully to learn how to tell the difference and not be deceived by the wolves in sheep's clothing.

True crime series are hugely popular around the world. These are non-fiction TV shows and podcasts which look at victims of crimes and investigate the motives of the perpetrator, often covering grim topics like assault and murder. You might have heard of some of them like Serial, American Manhunt: OJ Simpson, The Menendez Brothers, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes and My Lover My Killer. Why are they so popular? And what positive and negative effects can they have on the cases they're covering - and the people involved? Jacqui Wakefield from the BBC's Global Disinformation Unit explains. And Dr Julia Shaw, criminal psychologist and host of the BBC podcast Bad People, talks to us about how true crime might affect our brain and behaviour.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: William Lee-Adams Producers: Emily Horler, Josh Jenkins and Benita Barden Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde

How is it possible for someone who doesn't have faith in Jesus to do something more Christ-like than a Christian? This is what we discuss through one of the most popular parables Jesus ever told. We also discuss the book of Daniel and how the proper understanding might be different than we've ever heard. 

Happy Monday girlies! We don't like to admit it, but sometimes comparison feels justified—especially when it seems like people who don't even believe in God are thriving. In this episode, I'm diving into the tension we feel when life seems unfair and non-believers are flourishing and successful. We'll explore what Scripture says about this kind of comparison, how to reframe our perspective, and why trusting God's timeline matters more than ever. If you've ever wondered “why not me?”—this episode is for you.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pastor Harvey closes the Face-to-Face series with the story of Zacchaeus, showing how Jesus brings good news even to those we often overlook or write off.

Have you ever asked yourself why good things happen to bad people? Why does it seem like the wicked get to experience and enjoy money, rewards and prosperity while the righteous suffer and always seem to be enduring some sort of hardship or struggle? Many people believe that once you become a Christian, your life is perfect and everything always goes well with you. That is just simply not the reality! Check out this episode of THE INDOUBT SHOW with host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author Jim Osman where they unpack the realities of life and how worldly prosperity that the wicked enjoy could be a part of their very judgement! 

When you grew up neglected, abandoned, and with none of your needs met – you may be likely to fall in love with people who are unable to provide the solid, caring love that you need and crave. And at the same time, the wounds of neglect drive you to cling to them, even after it's clear they're unstable, emotionally unavailable, or not safe to be near you. This is the critical juncture where trauma in one generation, can HOP over into the next – when your own trauma BINDS you to people who make you FEEL like something is happening, but who will bring nothing but grief into your life. Now as you know, I'm not a therapist. I'm someone who healed from my own destructive relationship patterns, and here to help you when magical thinking has convinced you that the terrible pain you're in because of someone you've dated is a SIGN that they are the one for you.

“‘Have you come across the writings of our wisest men, which say that like must always be friend to like? These are, of course, the men who discuss and write about nature and the universe.'‘That's true,' he said.‘Well,' I said, ‘are they right?'‘Possibly,' he replied. …[But] ‘We think that the closer one wicked man gets to another wicked man and the more he associates with him, the more he becomes hated by him, because he wrongs him; and it is, of course, impossible for wronger and wronged to be friends, isn't it?'‘Yes,' he replied. …‘Well then, in my opinion, Lysis, this is what people mean when they say, in their cryptic way, that like is friend to like: friendship exists only between good men, whereas the bad man never achieves true friendship with either a good or a bad man. Do you agree?'He nodded assent.”(Lysis, 214b-214d)The Philosophy Garden: Stoicism and Beyond is a reader-supported publication.

You've been there—you thought you knew someone and then you found out WHO or WHAT they voted for. Now you wonder if you completely misjudged them. You thought you had more in common; that they saw the world as clearly as you do. You assumed they were a person of good character, values, & morals. But I guess not. God's opinions are obvious, aren't they? How can a person of faith come to completely different conclusions than you? You know YOU'RE not wrong. That must mean they're not a real Christian. Which is disappointing and confusing because sometimes they seem Christlike. What do we do with these discrepancies?
