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.

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!

Best known for his ongoing role in the hit Bravo series, Summer House, Carl Radke also has a growing passion for the non-alcoholic space, with a desire to create an elevated environment where people can enjoy social beverages without alcohol. 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. We also discuss what he's learned in his role with Loverboy, along with what other NA brands he admires, the burgeoning functional and THC drinks space, and what he thinks of the trend of celebrity-driven brands entering the market.Mentioned in this episode:Soft Bar + CafeSummer HouseLoverboyAthletic BrewingWe'd love your feedback!

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_.
