In this episode of Quakers Today, we ask, How do you process memories, experiences, and feelings? In this special episode of Quakers Today, you will learn about what we have in store for you in Season Three. We also look back to share highlights from Season Two. These include: An episode featuring actress and environmental activist Darryl Hannah as she discusses a bold campaign against the use of plastics in toys—a campaign that turned out to be an elaborate hoax designed to provoke real change. Hannah and the mischief-making group The Yes Men organized the elaborate hoax on the Mattel Corporation. One of the hoaxsters grew up Quaker and shares how his group uses lies to get corporations to admit that they mislead the public.  Timothy Tarkelli, a Kansas-based Quaker who finds spiritual resonance in the silence of nature and the practice of hunting—raising questions about the intersection of faith and lifestyle. Linda Seger discusses “Circle Thinking, a Quaker Model of Leadership.”  With her insights on circle thinking, Linda Sager challenges the traditional corporate hierarchy, proposing a more inclusive and collaborative approach to leadership that resonates with Quaker values. A conversation between two Quakers who draw on unexpected sources for inspiration. Sara Wolcott talks about paganism, witchcraft, and Quakers. Andy Stanton-Henry considers how Charismatic worship gets him to think deeply about his faith and practice.  One of the season's gems is an original short story, “Sabbatical,” by Vicki Winslow, who brings her narrative to life with a reading accompanied by sound effects and music, creating an immersive experience for the listener. Hear the entire episode, Quakers, Fiction, and Virginia Woolf.  After the show notes, you will find a complete transcript of this episode below. Question for next month How do you process memories, experiences, and feelings?  For some people, they chat with a friend, or they write in a journal. What about you? Leave a voice memo with your name and the town where you live.

It's a surprisingly disco-themed episode, because Kevin, Kornflake, the Mayor of Chickentown, and Ed from Sponge Awareness Foundation all met in the middle of New Hampshire for a spectacular ABBA tribute show. We were there because our old pal (and occasional SAF guitarist) Mike was onstage in the band, delivering killer guitar solos like you never heard back in the disco era. We followed the show with a visit to the Red Arrow Diner, where we hadn't been since Kornflake's notorious tooth incident a decade ago.

Some examples provided by my new nonprofit, The Free Association about how DAS KAPITALISM IS DEAD as a Doornail, man! ... & hell, why not!! I'm starting to see a bright future post-Kapitalism. KKKapitalism was killing us all, anyway. So DOWN W/KKKAPITALISM; & Let Kapitalism be Dead! Let Kapitalism die not a slow, prolonged death like our grandparents did; before they died enmasse. In nursing homes from covid19! Because Nazi ass-clown & his minions don't give a rats arse about our old people! They want ‘em to ‘sacrifice themselves for the economy'??! Somebody tell these arse holes to stick it up their man!! CALL CONGRESS 202 224 3121 & tell ‘em: GFY!!! Let Kapitalism die a quick, painless death- cuz it sure has strangled us all out, hasn't it?!?!? Like Republican Governor Doug Ducey sending all of us democrats to the polls —sites of mass infections- instead of delaying the primaries! Kapitalism can GFI! If Nietzsche were alive, that's what he'd say & report. In this podcast, I cite many examples from nature & current events to show ways COMPETITION CAN KILL. To be sure, KAPITALISM IS KILLING US SOFTLY— from withheld PPE for our nation's first responders; Benny White's dirty GOP tricks to block my ballot access & this attacking civil liberties; to Sheriff Napier suppressing my podcast series; these criminals in power all want to SHUT US UP, silence our voices, kill us with their incompetence & criminal neglect of their duties. It's not even just a partisan thing; #DNCisCorrupt, too. When we had a media, it reported student vote purges in Ohio; The #IowaFiasco was #electionfraud, plain as the nose on yer face! And it produced a FRAUDULENT ‘Winner' that night & in #NewHampshire, too. If somebody -ANYBODY — called the DNC on their sh*t from the start, maybe it would've stopped, & we'd actually have FEEE AND DAIRE AND SfeRlections. But noooo, #Mayorcheat. Then there's HEALTH ‘insurance' companies competing with each other to get us to throw money at them every month so they can bankrupt & kill patients; Other points of interest in this podcast: I announce a few of cabinet appointments for when I'm PRESIDENT :). But for now at least, ‘SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF UNITED'; I cite examples from nature and me pets: My pet peacock Zaphod nearly pecked to death my silver pheasant, Mr Fezzie cuz Fez was fryin to bang his gf. They are MALES, and Males kill each other over competition. Fezzie stuffed himself in between two fences tryin to escape, would've died of fright alone if I hadn't intervened. Zaphod trying to eliminate competition for his Lady, Eccentricca2; Let's use a Native American context: indigenous peoples were destroyed when Andrew Jackson wanted to implement the White Man's Manifest Destiny.

This episode is sponsored by Jamie Sands. Jamie is a non-binary kiwi who’s always been wondering ‘what if’? They write stories about ghosts, monsters, love, and how the world could be. Jamie grew up in Wellington but now lives in Auckland with a wonderful woman and a round cat. The Suburban Book of the Dead No one expected the last night of the Summer holidays to be deadly. Rain and her best friends Rachel and Jackie head to the carnival. Rain's plan was to chat up Jake, who runs the Ferris Wheel, and maybe get a kiss or two. But then Rachel's killed in mysterious circumstances, and none of them will ever be the same again. When Rachel returns as a ghost insisting Rain find out who killed her and why, she turns to Jake, who knows more than he seems to. In fact, he's encountered weird stuff like ghosts and monsters before.

Kornflake braved the subzero temperatures of winter in Minnesota, and now she's back with her annual report from MarsCon! It's the science fiction convention that also has a whole track of comedy music, and this year's performers included old and new Flopcast friends like Insane Ian, Cutesylvania, TV's Kyle and Linzilla, Power Salad, the great Luke Ski, Devo Spice, Jeff Whitmire, Michael Hunter, Carrie Dahlby, the Library Bards, and more! Plus: Airport security adventures, vermin at the Mall of America, Dementia Smackdown wrestling, the Logan Awards, scary Klingon drinks, scary Ikea breakfasts, a million mustaches, and of course, Kornflake's Dementia Water Aerobics. In the Upper Midwest, they fight the cold with silliness, and it works.

Meanwhile, Kornflake and Doornail celebrate Thanksgiving, on the beach, in August. (Peppermint Patty was aghast... but at least the menu didn't consist of popcorn and toast.) And Kevin's summer of goofy retro concerts reaches its finale with three shows in a week: Rick Springfield (who introduced the word "moot" to pop music), The Go-Go's (on their farewell tour -- be sure to catch them before they stop-stop), and Belly (Boston's mid-90s alt-pop heroes, back after a quick 20 year break). Now before we make our final preparations for FumpFest and DragonCon, we just have to launch our new fashion line for golfing rodents.

Kevin, Kornflake, and The Mayor have abandoned Chickentown to record this week's show from a secret undisclosed location! But we'll be back in our regular studio next week (the chickens are getting restless), and all will be revealed. This week, however, we're looking back at the 4th of July weekend (which took place in early July, according to scientists). Kevin and The Mayor journeyed west to Minnesota for CONvergence, where they encountered a giant walking milkshake, Disco Boba Fett, bellydancers, Trek Bunnies, rat puppets, Feng Shui Ninjas, School House Rock singalongs, and Buzzed Aldrins in the Skepchick party room. Meanwhile, Kornflake and Doornail headed north to New Hampshire, where they started their own weird new convention called FlopFest. And if you suspect that FlopFest largely consists of flopping in hammocks, giggling, napping, and looking for Vodka... yeah, that just about covers it! Also: It's National Drive-Thru Day, so talk to the clown and keep moving.

Topics of discussion include: Doornail and Alyssa's college days (breakfast was a rare event; being stared at creepily was not), Mad Mike's wine, Seamonkey's beer, dating Amish women, saying hello in Klingon, wearing a Snuggie at an Arrogant Worms concert, and an insane phone call with Insane Ian. (Plus lots of immature giggling about boobs, because we're so classy.) Note: This episode was recorded in the hallway just outside the main FuMPFeST concert room, so expect a little background noise here and there.
