Christina Buttons is an investigative reporter at the Manhattan Institute and a contributor to City Journal. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, her work focuses on pediatric gender medicine, child welfare policies, youth mental-health treatment, and immigration. She recently co-authored a piece titled, “Transgender Brain Studies are Fatally Flawed,” looking at the wide-ranging and harmful impact of bunk claims that there is such a thing as a “transgender brain” or that one can be “born in the wrong body,” with a “female brain” in a male body.In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Christina about the origins of this concept and the pseudoscience behind it.The Same Drugs is fully independent and fully listener supported.

Roadside Theater is a professional ensemble of storytellers and theater makers hailing from the mountains of central Appalachia. In its decades since its founding in 1975, the ensemble has taken on the task of people's theater, engaging social issues and abandoning the ‘fourth wall' concept in order to bring audiences into the process of cultural production. Roadside Theater reflects Appalachian culture, but it has also worked over decades to build theater in solidarity with social struggles across social constructs, including in close connection with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and their associated theater troupes, Free Southern Theater and Junebug Productions. On today's show, we're joined by editors and contributors to a new book that documents that history, called Art In A Democracy. We're joined by the book's editor, Ben Fink, who worked with Roadside Theater from 2015 until 2020, and co-founded the East Kentucky–Western Massachusetts cross-partisan dialogue project Hands Across the Hills. We're also joined by Donna Porterfield, the Managing Director of Roadside Theater from 1979 to 2019, with oversight responsibility for all of the theater's personnel and financial matters; as well as AB Spellman, a poet and essayist as well as a jazz critic and enthusiast, and a figure in the Black Arts Movement who worked for about 30 years at the National Endowment of the Arts.

Modern day students have a great debt of gratitude to the Vedic masters who have captured and preserved Vedic wisdom for millennia, making it available for us to apply to our lives today.One of the most prolific of these masters is Veda Vyasa, who is recognized as being responsible for documenting as much as three quarters of the Vedic literature, and organizing, or “sequencing” it, in such as way that we are still able to access and apply the wisdom even today.In this episode, which includes questions from audience members, Thom gives as a brief insight into the life and work of Veda Vyasa, the Cosmic storyteller.It's a fitting prelude to Thom's upcoming residential course, Vedanta Vyasa, to be held in Sedona this coming July.

The boys try and fail to do a police interogation bit, and get meta wit it. Then Dave asks Breht what the shape of the universe is, leading to an extended conversation about cosmology, including whether the universe is infinite or finite, what leading scientists deduce from the curvature of space time, the size of the observable universe, the speed of light, and whether or not our entire universe is actually inside a black hole... Then they explore the psychology of crowds - at sports games, protests, concerts, etc. - before finally launching into a discussion on the philosophy of Existentialism and the question of Free Will.
In this not-episode, Madelyn and Emma talk about games that include the player in its story and pick up the concept of the magic circle. Also featuring tutorial talk, deep invasions of privacy, and save data as a diary.

Lionel Shriver is an incredibly prolific, best-selling author. She is also a thought-criminal. Her recent book, Mania, imagines a world wherein calling someone stupid is a crime, and “discrimination based on intelligence is 'the last great civil rights fight.'” Her next book, available in January, takes on the topic of immigration. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about her recent health struggles, climate change hysteria, her views on Trump, the fanaticism of the left, the glorious return of “retard,” and more.The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Holy moly, how is everyone? Great to hear! This week, my guest is my good buddy and brilliant author, Joshua Cutchin! I'm a massive fan of every book he's written, and he has really outdone himself with his newest offering, Fourth Wall Phantoms. Josh and I have a deep discussion about his latest book, without spoiling anything (I promise!). We get into the concept of fictional incursions, the non-physicality of the UFO phenomenon, and why we might just need better stories. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book so much. I truly can't recommend it enough, my friends. If you were to read one Fortean book this year, this is the one. That's a Bergantee!

In our conversation, Carl shares his perspective on why the category is in dire need of proper places to enjoy these drinks in the social setting for which they're intended, and how that led to the development of Soft Bar + Cafe, opening later this summer in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn.

While other countries have changed course in their approach to "gender medicine" for minors, Canada forges on. Countless reports have shown that the “science” behind “gender medicine” for youth is bunk, and that these treatments are destructive, experimental, and cause permanent harm—leading to sterilization and numerous other health impacts. This all continues to be ignored by the media and the government. Why?In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mia Hughes, the author of The WPATH Files, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, director of Genspect Canada, and co-host of the Beyond Gender podcast. Read Mia's piece, “How gender activists stole the media, distorted medicine, and hurt Canadian kids,” at The Macdonald-Laurier Institute.The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

NEW FORMAT TEST!YO! AJ HERE! It's been a while! I've been thinking about ways to utilize the Directly to You channels in a way that will help grow Re:Direct as a whole and one of the ways I landed on was to start to upload them on the podcast feed & see if it resonates with people while HOPEFULLY not cannibalizing the main bread & butter.HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING! Every week I (mostly) I upload scripted videos to YouTube in a video essay format - these videos are definitely enhanced with the visual context but they don't necessarily NEED to be consumed in this way so they would be a good fit here.In addition to that, I stream (at least) 3 times a week on Twitch. These streams vary in format and in topic & to be fully transparent in use case. Namely, I started a retrospective series where I am playing through the main series Pokemon games on stream to see if they aged well enough to validate the notion of "Game Freak getting lazy) with the end goal of consolidating that experience and my thoughts on each game into a hybrid format of a stream cutdown, a video review, & a standard Re:Direct video essay. THESE STREAMS do not make sense to upload here because it's a mix of me talking about the game(s) and a bunch of other stuff you need the video and the chat to have context to AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY paid members get access to that sort of ancillary content for main channel videos. These streams don't fit here. HOWEVER there are streams that I do and that I plan to do that are MUCH more podcast-like. Tier Lists, Reactions, Discussions, & things of that ilk will happen on stream as we enter the Switch 2 era & those will show up here.LET ME KNOW THOUGHTS Either in comments of platforms that have them, or on socials, or in the RD Discord. All of which will be link in the shownotes for THIS video/audio log thing below. As far as that is concerned, I'm just gonna copy and paste the description lol.Support Re:Direct through our Memberships &/or Merch!

Are mental health diagnoses real? Does anyone really need psychiatric drugs as "treatment"? Is psychiatry a sham? In this episode, I speak with Laura Delano, author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, about her experience being diagnosed as "bipolar" (among other things) as a teen and how she began to see things differently (and get off of the drugs prescribed to her to "treat" her).The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Mike Brown is the winner of the FOX Nation game show "What Did I Miss?" hosted by Greg Gutfeld. For 90 days, starting on President Trump's inauguration day, he was isolated with other contestants in upstate New York. During this time, they were allowed no TV, internet, or newspapers. After their release, the game was to guess which news stories actually happened while they were gone and which were made up. Michael Brown recently spoke with host Chris Foster on the FOX News Rundown about his isolation and competing on this unique show. Michael's wife, Ashley, also joined the conversation and shared her perspective on living without Michael and watching the news cycle unfold while he was gone. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Michael and Ashley Brown, allowing you to learn more about their unique experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to discuss why this ceremony is an astonishing example of breaking the Fourth Wall and talking to God directly. Why do we sacrifice our own decision-making power?
