'Welcome to the Studio B Podcast. We are beyond excited to share this experience with you. In today's episode, we are tackling critical race theory. We explore whether critical race theory is a way of understanding how American racism has shaped public policy, or a divisive discourse that pits people of color against white people. Liberals and conservatives are in sharp disagreement. The topic has exploded in the public arena this spring—especially in K-12, where numerous state legislatures are debating bills seeking to ban its use in the classroom. We also discuss how critical race theory got its origins and how its modern day tenets differ greatly from the original.

Hate speech and speech we hate aren't necessarily one in the same. Unfortunately, this isn't recognized in the era of social media and off-the-cuff opinion forming. How are we to operate in this environment? One can't tiptoe forever. Freedom of speech is a birthright. Society would not progress, if not for uncomfortable discourse.

Happy New Year! With a new year comes new goals, resolutions and possibilities! This year can be anything you want it to be! Maybe you're looking to switch genres, try a new style or vibe, make some new music you've always wanted to, go solo or start a new project? HUGE thank you to Patrick Kordyback for being our guest on this episode! He is the lead singer of the band STEREOS, which after an eight year hiatus is back and they dropped their new single Sunset Gold in February of 2020. They're also known for the bops, "Summer Girl," "Throw Your Hands Up" and "Turn It Up!"  After appearing on a Much Music show called disBand that had unknown bands perform for industry judges and then get told whether they had what it took or if they should disband, their careers took off and they were one of the top bands in Canada. They're still together and going strong by the way! Patrick has decided to take another journey with his music (while also staying with STEREOS of course) and work on another project in the country genre - solo. He's been working alongside some top notch talent and industry to get things rolling. He's sharing advice and experience on all things new - when it comes to a new you (musically speaking), new project or new gig in the music industry.Fun fact - I've seen STEREOS in concert twice. Once at The Gateway (SAIT) in 2009 and at The Den (University of Calgary) in 2011. You can follow him on Instagram at @kordybacktothefuture and STEREOS at @wearestereos and of course on Facebook.You can follow Studio B Podcast @__Studio_B__ on Instagram and on Facebook under "Studio B Podcast." SONG: Summer Girl by STEREOS

Welcome to the Studio B Podcast. We are beyond excited to share this experience with you. This week, Pastor MDH is in the studio solo. We're breaking down the intricacies of our faith and exactly how we are to respond when believers and non-believers alike ask, "Why do you believe?" It's not enough to assert that "I believe what I believe and that's that." The Word tells us that we must have an answer for our faith. Faith isn't completely blind. It works in tandem with knowledge and evidence.
