Dr. Corey Dolgon is a Professor of Sociology at Stonehill College. He's an expert in several areas of sociology and service learning and is the author of five books, including The End of the Hamptons: Scenes from the Class Struggle in American’s Paradise (2005) and Kill it to Save it: An Autopsy of Capitalism’s triumph Over Democracy (2017). He recently edited The Cambridge Handbook of Service Learning and Community Engagement. Corey joins Mike Palmer to talk about the history of service learning and social movements in America. In his view, for service learning to be truly effective it must be grounded in the history of social movements and social action in the community so that it can ultimately effect meaningful change. In addition to a rich and vibrant conversation about engaging with the community and leading through activism and engagement, we conclude with Dr. Dolgon regaling us with his rendition of the folk song Have You Been to Jail for Justice? by Anne Feeney. It's an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation that you won't want to miss.

Ash and Brian appeared together recently in episode 172, where the topic was Spiritual Bypassing. 7:53 “How can you go out and say that you’re this love and light person and then be involved with this group of people who are clamoring for public executions?” Ash gives an introduction to the discussion. 9:35 Vulnerability and the Authority Figure 13:20 “It’s a very interesting look at psychology, sociology, and something that we all need to understand as we start to open ourselves up to certain things, to learn to still be discerning, and to know where to draw the lines and how to think for ourselves.” Brian Smith reflects on Ash’s article. 15:14 Individualism, Prosperity Gospel, The Secret, Law of Attraction, The Power of Positive Thinking, Narcissism and how they’re linked to spirituality. 16:35 Authority, vulnerability, and being new to spirituality. 23:47 Spiritual abuse and holding people accountable. 26:20 How to reach the people sucked in by QAnon. 29:34 Denial, delusion, and unhealed trauma. 32:02 Racism, Proud Boys, and Nazis in the QAnon community. 34:55 “Evangelicals will deny the racism aspect of it. They’ll say, ‘Of course I’m not racist. I have nothing to do with that. This can’t have anything to do with race.’ And the racists like it because, it’s a way of taking back our country. It’s the whole blood and soil thing.” - Brian Smith 36:53 Racism rooted in narcissism. 38:04 Self awareness and the Narcissistic Personality Scale. 39:10 Believing their own lies. 41:55 Mental illness in the spiritual community. 42:50 “We are so quick to give up our power to someone else, whether it be a medium in the spiritual community or a pastor in a church, and we think that they have a special connection that we don’t have. And we need to learn to be more discerning that that person is just a human being, and they’ve got the same filters and biases and problems and things that we do.” - Brian Smith 46:42 Helping those who are grieving to open up spiritually, while also using discernment. 47:40 The 12 Step Program and why it works so well. 50:10 The need for critical thinking skills and the conspiracies that don’t make any sense. 53:45 Conspiracy theories as a subcategory of the paranormal community. 57:11 Magical thinking, Schizotypy, and Apophenia. 58:20 How to stop the bleeding.

Everest Base Camp Trek Tips The Everest Base Camp Trek: could you do it? Could you conquer it, on your own, independently and with two kids? That's what Ronnie and Any Jones have done. When most people attempt the Everest Base Camp hike, they buy loads of equipment and/or hire a tour company and guides to help them make it happen. Not the Jones family. In this episode, we talk to them about how they managed to do the Everest Base Camp Trek on their own, without porters or a travel agency. If you've ever dreamed of Everest Base Camp hike, then listen in. It's not for the faint of heart, but they loved it so much they've made new plan to hike the Himalayas again. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio.

Thank you! ::: The Everest Base Camp Trek - Independently & With Kids The Everest Base Camp Trek. AKA the "EBC." Many try it. Many fail. Hiking the Himalayas is a challenge for anyone. Hiking the Himalayas as a suburban family with no prior experience? That's another thing entirely. But that's what Ronnie and Any Jones decided to do. It was one of the most meaningful experiences their family's had thus far in their adventures. The Everest Base Camp Trek (a.k.a. the EBC) is no small feat, but once they decided to take on the challenge, they found a way to make it work. In this episode, I talk to Ronnie and Any about how they planned their Everest Base Camp Hike. We discuss why they chose to do the Everest Base Camp hike independently rather than going through a large and expensive travel agency. Looking for Backpacks & Other Travel Gear?

He describes it in more detail in the podcast. FIND THEM ON Where the Jones YOUTUBE channel! Hiking The Himalayas with Kids Meet the Jones family. Less than a year ago, they were living in the United States (St. Louis, MO.) with only a Canadian Stamp in their passport. Fast-forward to the present, and they've been on the road, traveling in Asia for nearly nine months. Most of that time was spent traveling in Southeast Asia, but they had one crazy idea: walk the Everest Base Camp Trek. Unlike many who do the Everest Base Camp Trek, they decided to do it on their own. They arranged flights, acquired gear and stayed in Nepalese tea houses along the way. They planned their Everest Base Camp hike as they traveled so that by the time they reached Nepal, they were ready. Here's how it went down. Before the Everest Base Camp Trek — a Prelude Long before the Everest Base Camp hike became a dream, the Jones family was living in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. Yet they had aspirations to see more of the world. Their first step was to sell their stuff, buy an RV and travel around the US, visiting National Parks. As they traveled, hiking and trekking became something their family loved to do. As travel in Southeast Asia became their focus, Ronnie looked online for potential places to hike. Of course, the mother of all treks appeared: the Everest Base Camp Trek. That's when Ronnie knew he wanted his family to see "The Big Guy." Mount Everest itself. They started their Southeast Asian travels in Bali, moving on to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other exotic locales. And as they traveled, they planned their Everest Base Camp hike from afar. They had around eight months to prepare for the climb to Everest Base Camp. Our Destinations Page Has Travel Tips for Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia, & More Why Attempt the Everest Base Camp Trek Independently? I ask Ronnie and Amy about why they chose to do the Everest Base Camp hike on their own. Why not hire guides? Why not go through a travel company. Ronnie says that he is not discouraging people who plan their Everest Base Camp Trek with professionals. Indeed, there are many benefits to going with them. For example, if you walk the Everest Base Camp Trek with a tour company, all your flights and accommodation are taken care of by them. In addition, you get porters, local sherpas who will carry your heaviest bags up the trail for you. According to Ronnie, there were many times along the EBC that they wished they had those porters. After all, the family has a Youtube channel to run. That means Ronnie was carrying a laptop, cameras and other electronics. Another benefit of doing the Everest Base Camp hike with a tour group is that most things are already paid for. Since they hiked the EBC independently, they had to carry lost of cash on them. When to Plan an Everest Base Camp Trek According to Ronnie, there are two main Himalaya hiking seasons. Most people do the Everest Base Camp hike between May and June or during a window in November. That way, you avoid hiking the Himalayas during the rainy season or in the coldest part of the year. Their entire trip needed to fit into one of these windows. The Benefits of Doing Everest Base Camp Hike Alone If you can hike the Himalayas with someone carrying your stuff, why wouldn't you? Well, money is one thing. Ronnie explains that it's cheaper to do the EBC on your own. The Everest Base Camp cost isn't as high as you might think it is, and we discuss how they prepared for that as well. That said, the real benefit of independent trekking was time. Most tours that do the Everest Base Camp hike are in and out very quickly. Ronnie and Amy wanted to give their kids — and themselves — enough time to adjust to the altitude. They wanted to be physically ready to do the EBC on their own schedule. That turned out to be the right solution for them. Altitude Sickness (& Other Obstacles) During an Everest Base Camp Trek Hiking in the Himalayas brings you to great heights. This is a potential hazard. One of the most dangerous aspects of hiking the Everest Base Camp trek is altitude sickness. It could come in the form of intense headaches. Or it could manifest itself as nausea. It could be both, or worse. For some, if they're not careful, hiking the Himalayas can be deadly. Ronnie and Amy wanted to make sure they had enough time to arrive acclimate before hitting the trail. "Our secret weapon was time," he says. This turned out to be true, as they needed that time. Perhaps it was partly due to altitude sickness, but there were other health problems as well. Murphy's Law struck. Amy and the boys both fell ill in the days and weeks leading up to their Everest Base Camp hike. They had just traveled through Thailand, Vietnam, and India with almost no health issues. Now they faced strep throat, an eye infection and digestive issues. Right as their dream of the hiking the Himalayas becomes reality. As a consequence, they postponed their hike to EBC for a week. But they had time. Therefore, they were able to rest and recover in Kathmandu and push back the EBC trek until everyone was feeling better. Kathmandu: The Gateway to the Everest Base Camp Trek While in Kathmandu, the Jones family bought or rented everything they needed for the Everest Base Camp hike. They had just been traveling in Southeast Asia. Of course, they didn't want to be lugging around boots, sleeping bags, and parkas. Instead, they found everything they needed in Thamel, an area of Kathmandu that Ronnie calls "the trekking supply capital of the world." Here they rented sleeping bags, backpacks and down coats. Everything else they bought. The total cost of gear for the Everest Base Camp hike? Less than USD $1,000, and that's for a family of four. According to Ronnie, it's completely possible to hire your own guides and porters from here. There were plenty of capable, certified guides and porters for hire. Just makes sure they're certified, he says. The Most Dangerous Airport in the World Ronnie describes flying into Lukla, which is often known as "the most dangerous airport in the world. There's a mountain on one side of the runway. There's a cliff on the other. Flying in on small prop-planes, the pilots have to get it right. It didn't help that there were still some rough bellies on the flight, but they made it. Training for the Everest Base Camp Trek Hiking the Himalayas requires strength and endurance. So how did this family from St Louis prepare to walk the EBC while on the road? Part of their training, Ronnie says, is simply finding as many hikes and treks as they traveled. Another crucial component was Insanity Max 30. The family did this high-intensity workout program every day for the two months leading up to flying to Nepal. Gear: What They Needed for the EBC (and What They Didn't) I asked Ronnie and Amy about specific hiking gear or other things that were essential to their Everest Base Camp Hike. Aside from boots and clothing, what did you need? And what didn't you need to hike the Himalayas? One of the most important items in their bags were supplements that they refer to as "stoppers" and "goers." And when I say "stoppers" and "goers," this is all about the toilet. Sometimes you need to go. Then there were other times where your body wants to go, but you're hiking the EBC and need to stop that urge quickly. When you're eating a steady diet of Dal Baht (lentils and rice), that can affect people differently. They used bentonite clay and supplements from Dr. Schulze's line to control this on the hike. Sunscreen and water were other essential items for hiking the Himalayas and other high-altitude places. The sun along the Everest Base Camp hike will scorch any exposed skin. By the same token, the thin, dry air can dehydrate someone much faster than they think. This goes double if you're hiking uphill for hours and hours each day. Another sun protector they mentioned is a buff. Somewhere between a scarf and a neck-warmer, a buff makes it easy to cover your neck, ears, and face when needed. Surprisingly, one thing Ronnie says he didn't need was a big, nice flashlight. The extra weight was a burden and they ended up using the light on their phones at night anyway. Go figure! Looking for Backpacks & Other Travel Gear? What's Next After Hiking the EBC? The Jones family is already planning their next big Himalaya hike. This time, they're going to K2 in Pakistan. And they're not going alone. Fellow family travel blogger (and friend of the show) Alyson Long and her family will be joining them. Would you like to hike K2 with them? If so, they're looking for a third family to round out their team. If your family is interested and up to the task, get in touch. This is no walk in the park, so serious applicants only! Have You Been to Everest Base Camp? Would You Want To? This is a serious question. To be honest, hiking the Himalayas is not at the top of my list. Keiko and I hate cold weather, and you would just have to enjoy winter to hike the Everest Base Camp trek. Then there's the Everest Base Camp cost. For that money, I'd rather be sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere. How about you? Are you up for hiking the Himalayas? Do you want to know how to go to Everest Base Camp? Tell us in the comments!

In that time, she has spent lots of time seeking out great places to visit in Germany with kids. And in this week's episode, we discuss a lot of them. From castles to waterparks, there are countless places to visit in Germany. According to Christine, you'll never run out of things to do in Germany with kids!

Hold passports from: Canada Type of travel: Living abroad (Germany) and short-term travel A few places they've been: Western & Eastern Europe IN THEIR BAGS Travel Essentials & Recommendations "I can’t go anywhere without my packing cubes. It makes the few suitcases we do travel with that much easier to pack strategically. And we know where everyone's things are. We also travel with a corkscrew; there is nothing better than blogging in the dark with a tall glass of wine after the kids have gone to bed. Lastly, we can’t forget our travel adapters. With all this technology in our backpacks, we want to make sure they are charged on proper cables that we can trust." Travel Gear for Kids "The kids always carry their own child-sized backpack. This holds their in-flight entertainment, a change of clothes, diapers for the baby and any snacks or toys they want to bring. We always take at least one small packet of crayons, a coloring book, and a new Crayola Colour Wonder package. If they go nuts and try to marker the walls in the hotel, it doesn’t leave a mark. We also always pack their swimsuits, regardless of destination. You never know when you will find yourself near a pool. In addition, we take a Travel Cot with the kids, now that they have outgrown a crib. When the kids are too big for a crib but still too young for a big bed without railings, a travel cot is a great way to go." Travel Gear for Babies "Surprisingly, we don’t bring that much extra for the baby than we do for the toddler/big boy. Yes, she still has her stroller, and we always take the carrier for those attractions that don’t allow for strollers (or cities that aren’t stroller-friendly). When flying, we only bring enough diapers for the first few days and buy the rest once we’ve settled in. There is always a grocery store nearby and we don’t want to waste the luggage space. Unless we are traveling to Disney, which is hard to make offsite purchases, or an expensive economy like U.K, then purchasing on the economy is generally the best way for us." Baby Strollers "Personally, we have used a handful of strollers in the past six years when our first was born. We have found that BOB Gear was the best for our traveling needs. It doesn’t fold the flattest, but the rugged wheels and added accessories more than make up for it. We were able to adapt the stroller to hold our car seat when our baby girl was born. That made for one less thing we had to buy new upon her arrival." Luggage "With the hundreds of types of luggage out there, it really is hard to decide which is the best. We prefer to use hiking backpacks. We can store 7 days’ worth of clothes and toiletry bags for two people in each backpack — plus purchases at the destination. This now leaves us hands-free to push a stroller, hold a child’s hand, navigate with our phones or simply enjoy a coffee. Tuck in the straps and most airlines will check these backs right at luggage drop off. Rarely have we been asked to visit Oversized luggage. While this is a minor inconvenience, there is no extra charge for this feature." Electronics "Even before we started blogging, we always took our fully loaded camera bag and cell phones. Now, we have added a GoPro and a handful more lenses for the camera. We still want to enjoy our vacation and can’t simply stop what we are doing in order to spend hours taking that perfect photo. Therefore we need the best gear possible and a little “this will do” attitude. We don’t claim to be professional photographers and while the kids are around, I don’t see that changing any time soon." FIND THEM ON Tapped Out Travelers | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest Travel In Germany with Kids: The Basics Before Christine detailed the things to do and places to visit in Germany with kids, I asked her to about a few practical questions about travel in Germany. For example, I wanted to know about a few nuts-and-bolts issues related to family travel in Germany. Topics like transportation in Germany, German food, the weather in Germany, and other issues. Here are a few points from our conversation. Planes, Trains & Automobiles Germany has three main international airports: Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich. Christine suggests flying into one of them and out of another. That way you don't have to backtrack the same area. Considering all the things to do in Germany with kids, she has a point. We discuss rental cars in Germany, as well as German train travel. She highly recommends taking the trains and explains the different train systems and how many of the train cards work. Rental cars in Germany are an option, but roads can be narrow. Eating in Germany & Expectations of Children Christine says you'll find plenty of good food in Germany — especially if you like sausages. Finding pork on the menu is not a challenge. There are some German restaurants that don't allow children or only allow them until a certain time in the evening. In fact, these restaurants don't hesitate to tell you this, either. This was not a big deal for Christine — she understands why some places would like to maintain a certain ambiance. And screaming kids would ruin that ambiance. Besides, there are plenty of restaurants in Germany that are great for families. We also discussed the German cultural norms around children. Christine explains that there is a very "It takes a village" type of mentality in Germany. Children go out on their own from a young age, she explains. Therefore, in German society, there’s an expectation that responsible adults around the child will take care of the child in your absence. For example, let's say that your child is misbehaving and you are not around to reprimand them. It's quite possible that a nearby adult will speak to the child, or bring it to your attention if you haven't seen it. It's never done with ill intent, Christine stresses. That's just how things are done. Weather in Germany / Getting Around Germany If you visit Germany, bring waterproof clothing. Christine says that the weather in Germany can turn rainy frequently, so be prepared. In addition, she also mentioned that many of German roads are cobblestone. This can be rough on small-wheeled strollers. It can also destroy certain wheeled luggage. More on this in the podcast. Places to Go & Things to Do in Germany with Kids There are loads of things to do and places to go in Germany, so I started my questions with a one-week itinerary. What are the top things to do in Germany if you only had seven days? Things to Do in Munich: Germany with Kids According to Christine, there are lots of things to do in Munich within a short distance. The southern German city has a Legoland, and a fantastic zoo. Just outside of town in the Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired the design of the Disney's castle. It's only a 90-minute drive from Munich towards the Austrian border. Things to Do in Berlin with Kids Looking for things to do in Berlin? Christine suggests Checkpoint Charlie. She also speaks highly of Tropical Islands, an indoor waterpark just outside of Berlin. At Tropical Islands Waterpark, the weather always stays warm and balmy even on a frosty January night. This is one of the best places to visit in Germany in winter.

If you're considering family travel in Europe, then make sure to visit Slovenia with kids. There are lots of fun things to do in Slovenia with kids: from fairy-tale castles to white water rafting. Whether you're traveling to Slovenia with toddlers or teens, you'll find plenty of fun. Today we talk all about the best experiences in Slovenia for kids. Family Friendly Slovenia — Things to Do in Slovenia with Kids Meet Inga. She is a native Slovenian and has lots of great travel tips and advice on the best experiences in Slovenia for kids. At the time of writing, her own kids are eight and five. Inga and her kids have traveled to Japan, Canada, Singapore and many places in Europe. However, one of their favorite places to explore is Slovenia, where they find loads of fun and educational experiences. Here are her tips for family-friendly Slovenia.

Why Slovenia with Kids? With Austria to the north and Croatia to the south, Slovenia sits next to Italy on the Adriatic sea. The Venice airport is less than three hours by car from Ljubljana the Slovenian capital. Only about the size of the US state of Rhode Island, Slovenia has both the beach and the mountains. Slovenian attractions include museums, castles, and festivals. In addition, you'll find lots of outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, rivers, and lakes. Slovenia is also very safe for family travelers. When to Visit Slovenia with Kids Summers are the busiest season in Slovenia, but there are lots more activities and warmer weather as well. Winter in Slovenia is very cold and "white," as Inga puts it, as fog often covers part of the capital. Inga suggests spring and fall to visit Slovenia, as there are fewer tourists and great nature opportunities. A 7-Day Slovenia Travel Itinerary Inga suggests starting in the capital, Ljubljana. After a few days, head north to the city of Bled and then onto Slovenia's smaller towns and the great outdoors. Ljubljana with Kids There are lots of things to do in Ljubljana with kids, says Inga. Ljubljana has great parks with playgrounds and a good zoo. There are also lots of museums and galleries, which she says are now quite family friendly (we like that). One of her top suggestions is the Saturday Morning Market, as well as taking a riverboat ride. More details in the podcast. Bled with Kids and Outdoor Activities in Slovenia After leaving Ljubljana, Inga suggests heading north to Bled. It's a beautiful town with a stunning lake and other opportunities to commune with nature. Then she explains some of the great places to hike, camp and swim in Slovenia. Rafting and canyoning too (we love canyoning!). Food in Slovenia for Kids Inga details some of the delicious food in Slovenia but also emphasizes that Slovenian food varies by region. For example, the area close to the Austrian border east more food like their northern neighbor (ie. sausages, schnitzels, etc). In contrast, the area near the Italian border might eat more pasta. That said, throughout Slovenia, you'll find lots of dairy (yogurt, cheese, etc) and locally-made honey. More detail about specific Slovenian foods and desserts in the podcast.

In this episode of Epic Education Radio, Jenny tells us all about traveling in India with kids. We talk about food in India, train travel in India and lots of other important travel tips regarding India for families. Listen in! And please share! Why Visit India? Why India with Kids? Travel in India is polarizing. After traveling to India, some people return home starry-eyed, waiting to return. Others leave early and never want to come back. When I ask Jenny about this, she says that she can relate to both sides. "India is a place of ups and downs," she explains, "but there's an energy here that gets under your skin." The Challenges of Traveling in India with Children India travel offers some unique challenges and rewards. The rewards are obvious: the privilege of experiencing one of the most fascinating cultures and histories in the world. The food, the colors, the spices, the architecture, and dance. And of course, the "energy" that Jenny speaks of. The challenges seem even more obvious: the poverty, the filth, the street-level desperation. Then there is the yawning gap between rich and poor, and the corruption that festers between them. There is the noise. And the chaos. Then there are the issues with food safety and overly "enthusiastic" touts, hawkers and panhandlers. It's a lot to take in. Jenny describes many of the issues she faces living in India, and what travelers should expect. When and Where: India Travel Tips Jenny talks about some of the best places to visit and the best time to visit India. In general, Jenny recommends visiting India with children in November through January. Otherwise, you may have to deal with a "hissing 40 degrees (Celcius / 104ºF)" and oppressive humidity. Know where to go in India? Know things to do in India? If not, then Jenny has lots of suggestions. We talk about the typical "Golden Triangle" route (Delhi, Taj Mahal & Jaipur) and how the suggests tackling it. Jenny also talks briefly about Kerala, Rishikesh, Hampi and other favorite India destinations. Then discuss exploring Goa with kids, India's famous beach getaway has lots of potential for family travelers. We also talk a lot about train travel in India and how to get the most out of it. Does Jenny recommend train travel in India? Absolutely. We discuss India train classes and their experience in India's sleeper class for overnight train trips. Apps, Food, and Safety in India Jenny gives great practical information about many aspects of Indian family travel. She talks about how to avoid spicy food in India. We also discuss real issues that Western women and fair-haired children face and how best to address them. Jenny also details several very useful apps to use in India.
