CW: There is some talk about violence towards women in this episode, specifically about cases of Uber drivers drugging female passengers. Today, John and Shaun get real about attraction, ambiguity, and the old wounds that shape how we love. From body talk and gym-floor preferences to the deeper imprints left by early heartbreak, they explore what drives desire - and what quietly drives us away.They reflect on confusing signals, self-worth, and how our inner kids still shape our adult relationships - often in ways we don't notice until it's too late. It's funny, honest, and filled with the kind of conversations men don't usually have out loud.Leave a one-minute voicemail for John and Shaun at 657-549-1001Enjoying the show?

CW: There is some brief discussion of abusive familial relationships at several points within this episode.Two titanic figures in contemporary theory join us for two separate and strongly divergent episodes on the status of revolutionary thought in political philosophy today.Timothy Morton is one of the most outspoken and controversial voices in the discourse, someone whose impact punched hard into the artworld, defining a decade of new ecological and object-oriented aesthetics. For almost the entire 2010s and much of the 2020s it was hard to read a single exhibition text without recognizing Morton's impact.Timothy joins us for an expansive conversation that moves through Buddhism, Christianity, communism, trauma, poetry, and the question of whether “love your neighbor as yourself” might actually be a planetary-scale software instruction. Morton describes communism and Christianity as radically entangled modes of relation, both grounded in care and unknowing.We strongly recommend:Most people should already be familiar with Morton's most iconic concept and contribution: HyperobjectsTimothy's book Ecology Without Nature Their more recent Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology And we spend a lot of time talking about SpacecraftIn the episode, we also touch on the work of Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton, Thomas Merton, Raymond Williams, and Simone Weil.

We conclude our review of bad television series Locke & Key trying to figure out how a show that sacrificed all the character development of its sources material for plottiness could end up feeling so thin, so confusing, so contrived. We also talk about the pros and cons of a six-hour cunnilingus session* and Netflix's mass yassification of 'nerd culture' IP. CW: There is a brief discussion of transphobia at the beginning of the episode, specifically regarding something transphobic we said on a recent episode. On that subject, thanks again to those who articulated their concern and disappointment, and allowed us an opportunity to respond. If it wasn't clear from our message (hopefully it was) we stand in solidarity with the cause of trans liberation. Here's hoping our words better reflect this truth moving forward. *NOTE: This technique gets attributed to a certain D.C. political operative; however, the article screenshot Dan read is, upon further review, very clearly fake. The guy is still a piece of shit, though, so it's hard to feel too bad here.

CW: There is a brief mention of suicide and self-harm, in the context of discussing the harpies as described in Dante's Inferno. This happens at about the 8 minute mark, and lasts for about 20 seconds.   This week, we're talking about the human-bird hybrid creature from Greek mythology - the harpy! Join us as we discuss their description from mythology, how they've been presented in TTRPGs, and how to use them in new and interesting ways in your own home games. We also mentioned again the Solo But Not Alone 3 bundle on Itch, which is a solo game fundraiser bundle supporting Jasper's Game Day, a gaming suicide prevention charity. The bundle runs until the end of March, and you can find the bundle, which has a whopping 149 games for $10, here: https://itch.io/b/1692/solo-but-not-alone-3 If you're having suicidal thoughts and need to talk to someone, you can reach out to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing , or by visiting https://988lifeline.org.

Hello! In this episode we're discussing 3 Women, a 1977 film by Robert Altman starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Janice Rule as the aforementioned women. This movie is full of very awkward interactions that we relished talking about. Enjoy as we attempt to parse this fever dream of a movie and sort through Altman's attempt to define women by making them seem scary and weird (only some of us may claim that honour). CW: There is a scene in the film depicting a suicide/self-harm attempt that we mention here.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Island residents will most likely be paying a great deal more for their fire department this year. The Cortes Island Fire Department (CIFFA) is asking the SRD for about $127,000 more in 2023. CIFFA hopes to obtain $381,000 from property taxes. Their request was received as correspondence at the Wednesday, Feb 22, meeting of the SRD Board. Cortes Island Regional Director Mark Vonesch prefaced this submission by stating,  “CIFFA has submitted a budget that is significantly larger than previous years that will cost the average landowner on Cortes approximately $250 extra per year. This increase brings the department up to similar standards as other fire departments in the region, and is the cost of running a service that will meet the newly released provincial standards that the department needs to be in compliance with by the end of the year.” Earlier that morning, Cortes Currents asked Chris Walker, Vice President of CIFFA for an explanation. CW: “There are two main reasons our operating budget has to be larger, increased regulation and inflation.” “Increased regulation which affects training, our duty officers, and our Fire Chief. Every fire department in British Columbia has to meet provincial standards, even very small ones like ours. Recently, the province has come out with new training standards that fire departments must implement within the next year.” “The Cortes Island Firefighting Association agrees with these new regulations and the higher standards, but they are significantly increasing our operating costs in terms of training and salaries. In advance of March, 2024, we will be required to have completed new training for all drivers, team leaders and incident commanders.” “To meet the increasing training demands CIFFA proposes hiring a part-time Training Officer. In 2023, our costs for training are projected to increase 221% over last year in order to remain in compliance.” “Our fire department has to have a Duty Officer on call 24 hours a day, who is able to respond within five minutes to any emergency. This responsibility is normally shared between the Chief and qualified senior officers. This position requires significant extra training and experience and carries great responsibility. Most volunteer fire departments offer a daily honorarium for being on call, including ours. In 2022, we increased the honorarium from a hundred to $150 per day and are now proposing to increase that payment to $200 a day. Being a duty officer has an impact on the individual's regular employment. In recognition of this, we are working to offer an amount that makes this commitment worthwhile. We are hoping that this increase will help incentivize more members to take on the training responsibility and time commitment associated with this position.” “We are currently seeking a new Fire Chief and we may need to increase the salary offer in the area of $90,000 a year ,or more. In order to attract a qualified applicant and in order to match the Chief's salary being offered incomparable depart elsewhere. For comparison, a firefighter in Campbell River can now make upwards of $120,000 a year, and that's just a firefighter.”

Matt Gaetz is a US House Rep from Florida who responded to the backlash following the repeal of Roe v Wade by saying that the people who are fighting for abortion rights are mostly fat and unfuckable. He called out a woman on Twitter who then raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in his name to donate to various abortion funds. Our listener question this week is from a 29 year old woman about her cis/het couple who is struggling with sexual compatibility and negotiating the kind of sex they want to be having and figuring out what you want sexually in the first place. We have some great vegetable metaphors mixed in there. Then we have wins of the week!

[CW: There's discussion of the concepts of sex, birth control and abortion in this episode. If you're listening around smaller humans who haven't had *the talk* yet, prepare to do some explaining.]So if you've been following along and listening to #WeGotGoals this season, we've been diving deep into topics we care about and want to learn more about. We've talked about the history of fitness, mental health, diet culture and sustainability. This month, we were all set to talk about making the choice to grow your family or not. My husband and I are in the midst of making that decision. We got married not really knowing the answer, so I had big plans to talk through things like choosing not to have children, fertility, loss, cost of caring for a family and more.Cut to the recent revelation that the Supreme Court was close to overturning Roe v. Wade, which was the supreme court case that established a woman's right to an abortion based on a constitutional right to privacy in 1973. So suddenly the idea of focusing on making a reproductive choice felt like it required a better introduction. We regrouped for a couple of weeks, talked to a few experts and rearranged our interviews. Now you'll hear from experts on Fertility and Maternal nutrition, as well as experts in recovering postpartum.But we're starting with Dr. Sophia Yen. the CEO/Co-Founder of Pandia Health. She is Board Certified in Adolescent Medicine with more than 20 years of experience in medicine. She graduated from MIT, UCSF Medical School, and UC Berkeley with a MPH in Maternal Child Health. She serves as a Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford Medical School in the department of Pediatrics in the Division of Adolescent Medicine. She's also founded three non-profit organizations and has given a TEDx talk on making periods optional. She thinks a lot about birth control, prevention of STIs and access to education on those things.Dr. Yen and I discussed the step that many women who have access take way before ever thinking about a family - birth control. We also discuss the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade on reproductive rights in general and more. We also talk specifically through questions the community wanted answered about Roe V. Wade, IVF, about specific brands of birth control, about the impact of birth control on your ability to conceive (spoiler: your ability to conceive should returned to normal with all birth control types, the main difference is how long it takes to return to normal). Resources: Dr. Yen Created a video on YouTube about the topic of Roe v. Wade and how it impacts your access to emergency contraception.Learn more about Pandia Health and code "Asweatlife" gets you $5 off telemedicine (we aren't making a commission, they're just being nice)Follow Pandia health on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and TwitterLearn more about Plan C non profit that has all the info on medication abortion with legal/medical advice linesLearn more about NNAF: National Network of Abortion funds and donate to 80+ abortion fundsLearn more about Condom Depot that Dr. Yen talked aboutLearn more about PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)Dr. Yen also believes that Periods should be optional for anyone with a uterus. Welcome to her TED talk (but, actually). 

Welcome back to the next episode of Past Loves - the weekly history podcast that explores affection, infatuation and attachment across time.This week I am joined by Senior House and Collection Officer of Smallhythe Place, Susannah Mayor, to discuss the fascinating relationship between Edith Craig, Christopher St. John and Tony Atwood. Together Edy, Chris and Tony created a space to live freely, passionately and creatively. Now an oasis which celebrates the history of theatre, and particularly that of Dame Ellen Terry, their relationship lives at the heart of Smallhythe Place. Edy and Craig made a place for themselves in the suffrage movement with the Pioneer Players, with Tony providing props and painted scenery . Her work is a testament to the beauty and use of light. They designed their own lives, alongside many theatrical performances, but it is their relationship which now deserves to take centre stage.CW: There is a brief mention of overdose when discussing Edith's engagement from 19:53 mins to 20:07.  Where To Find UsBook tickets for Smallhythe Place: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/smallhythe-place Follow Smallhythe Place on Instagram: @smallhythe_placent Follow Smallhythe Place on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SmallhythePlaceNTFollow Smallhythe Place on Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallhythentFollow Past Loves on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pastlovespodcast/Listen To Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas episode with Matthew Sturgis: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/oscar-wilde-lord-alfred-douglas-love-on-trial-with/id1509195421?i=1000478174906 Join the Past Loves newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/d293dd27393a/past-loves-newsletterIf Past Loves has become your current love, you can email me at pastlovespodcast@gmail.com

CW: There are some swears, so please use headphones if you need to. Have you ever felt overwhelmed about or ashamed of being “behind” or “failing” at life basics like cooking, cleaning, household management, or hygiene? Why doesn't “just try harder” ever seem to work to get us organized and “together”? What if, instead of trying to fix ourselves, we could treat ourselves with more compassion and find systems that work for us? Episode 28 of Poised & Powerful Parenting Podcast is sharing the importance of establishing a foundation of care, with KC Davis of Struggle Care! Do you find yourself needing extra time to recover from your weekend or time to prepare your mind and body for the week ahead? Join me for a restorative practice where we'll release tension in our necks, back, and shoulders. Clear your mind so you'll feel reset and re-energized for yourself and your family. Drop into the online Sunday Scaries Support group class: https://poisedpowerfulparenthood.com/take-a-breakKC Davis is a licensed professional therapist, author, speaker, and the person behind the mental health platform Struggle Care. Struggle Care is about learning how to accomplish care tasks—and being kind to yourself—when you have functional barriers.In this episode of the Poised & Powerful Parenting Podcast, KC and I discuss the following:Why KC, who's a mental health advocate and Founder of Struggle Care, doesn't like the term “self care” and why she finds it completely unhelpful for the average person.Why care tasks are morally neutral; how you do care tasks has nothing to do with your character as a “good” or “worthy” person.Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how she makes systems that work for her while pandemic parenting. The importance of understanding that good enough is perfect - where we picked up our emotional baggage around perfectionism and how we can drop it. Establishing a foundation of care for yourself, and understanding that you deserve kindness and care no matter what, is more important than trying to “keep up” with what others show you their life looks like. Learn more about Poised & Powerful and Sarah at https://poisedpowerfulparenthood.com/interviewsCONNECT WITH KC Davis:FacebookInstagramWebsitePodcastWatch KC clean up: https://www.tiktok.com/@domesticblisters How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis, LPC (and on audiobook)CONNECT WITH SARAH MAYHAN:FacebookInstagramWork with Sarah! LINKS MENTIONED:Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin NeffThe F*ck It Diet Book by Caroline DoonerMaintenance Phase podcast

Risks of dying from a bariatric surgery: The most objective mortality data available (on actual deaths among all those who had all types of bariatric surgeries at Medicare-approved centers from 1997 to 2002) found that the first year death rate after surgery was 4.6%. Risks of dying from obesity: Actual mortality rates according to body mass index among a 40-year study of 1.8 million people, found the very fattest 0.2% of women at age 35 had an annual risk of dying of 0.18% (compared to 0.13% for "normal" weight women). So, by having a bariatric surgery even the heaviest woman increases her risk of dying about 45-fold.”

Jason takes the lead here, sharing what that conversation felt like to him and the ensuing journey of personal development that resulted.

How do I tell a powerful story where the protagonist cannot drive the plot? Stu and Chas are joined by Stephen Cleary following his exploration into Melodrama, and together they try to reclaim the word from its pejorative meaning. By examining powerful Melodramas - like THE HANDMAID’S TALE, LADIES IN BLACK and STRANGER THINGS… with many a tangent on MARRIAGE STORY, PETE’S DRAGON, MILDRED PIERCE, GAME OF THRONES, LOST, THE JOKER, THE KILLING, THE WITCHER, war movies and survival films - the three hosts try to unpick what makes Melodrama an alternate story paradigm to the Hero’s Journey. They delve into how Melodramas centre on characters that don’t have agency; where the plot happens to characters (as opposed to being driven by them); how Melodramas don’t end so much as close; and how all of the above delves into character questions more deeply than the Hero’s Journey. And to wrap it all up, the kind of techniques you use on the page to write effective melodramas. CW: There is a lot of discussion in this episode about melodrama being associated with “women’s stories” vs the “hero’s journey” - which is biased towards a ‘masculine’ mode of storytelling - and we fully acknowledge in the show and here that we are three cismen talking about these things.   This episode was edited by Christopher Walker.

This week of The Pleasure Podcast we welcome the award-winning comedian, actor and writer Richard Gadd. In 2016 he won the esteemed Edinburgh comedy award, with Monkey See Monkey Do, a raw, personal account about his sexual assault. It was a performance which pushed the boundaries of comedy and which felt monumentally cathartic for its win.In 2019 his first solo theatre show Baby Reindeer was the talk of Edinburgh. In it he relives his experience of being stalked by a woman with a dangerous obsession with him, about wrestling with his sexuality, and trying to come to terms with his assault.We speak about the effects of growing up in an uber masculine world where you thank God you're not gay, and sex ed was devoid of condoms. He speaks about the sexual abuse and grooming which threw his relationship with sex out of orbit. And of the erectile dysfunction that followed which destroyed relationships and his confidence.The dissociation that followed felt at odds with his happy teenage years and the cost was his loss of the ability to be vulnerable and intimate throughout this period of deep pain.Richard tells us how he has been able to approach sex and intimacy again. And how his deeply personal shows have been part of that healing process.He describes what drives a person to make a show about their trauma and what the effect is when you thought it might ruin you but in fact launched you into a whole new dazzling chapter of your career.The emotional and psychological honesty of Richard's work is astonishing. How he tackles the source of his trauma and his evolving understanding of his own masculinity is truly breath taking.CW: There are some subjects which we cover that listeners might find disturbing: Sexual Abuse, Stalking.Follow Richard on social media @MrRichardGadd for more information on his shows and upcoming dates.*We would love to continue the conversation and hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, we hear it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Naomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandRichard Gadd: @MrRichardGaddFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to episode 2 of The Pleasure Podcast. This week we speak to multi-award winning, plus size style blogger, journalist, and author Stephanie Yeboah. This year she was the cover girl on Glamour's self-love issue. And on Instagram she is making waves celebrating the bodies of plus size, black women. Her sexy, witty, and insightful posts redefine accepted beauty standards and challenge the co-option of body positivity by socially acceptable white bodies.Stephanie has experienced racism and fat-phobia from a young age, from being bullied at school to being fetishized and objectified in her romantic life. The way she flies in the face of these discriminations by creating a positive space for change is awe inspiring. Her Instagram page is testament to this. Check out her beautiful pictures HEREStephanie speaks to us about navigating life and dating as a black, plus-sized woman and how she and others can manage to find self-acceptance when judgement and discrimination are still so rife.Stephanie's book Fattily Ever After: The Black Girl's Guide To Living Unapologetically will be published by Hardie Grant Books on the 3rd of September.
