Not all heroes wear capes, so maybe answering advice questions (in the words of Goldfinger) makes us a Superman? Ok, probably not, but Eric and Jasper had a lot of fun answering more advice questions, such as helping an introvert at a LARP and recommending the best Pokemon game to hop on with. And Eric surprises Jasper with a Game Within a Game about unlockable Tony Hawk characters.

Defector's own Kelsey McKinney joins Drew and Roth to catch up all the news that they missed when they were on spriiiiing breaaaaak, like who we should root for in the NBA Playoffs and how Mavs decided to not make the NBA playoffs. But it wouldn't be a Kelsey episode without a Normal Gossip update and taking the temperature of Philadelphia's sports scene.

About The ShowFrom Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they'll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
This week, we learned via a leaked Supreme Court opinion that the Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade; given this news, we decided to release an episode on the topic of abortion from Season 4 of Adrienne's other podcast, https://feeds.captivate.fm/feminist-hotdog/ (Feminist Hotdog). We at REVA have always centered bodily autonomy in our recovery work and feel strongly that scaling back access to abortion institutionalizes body terrorism. We hope this episode inspires you as a human and inspires you to fight this decision if it comes to pass. ___ What do you feel when you hear the word abortion? What words do you associate with it? If you're Amanda Star Kingsley, those words might be fear or sadness but they might also be strength, purpose, and light. Amanda is a post-abortion life coach. Her mission is to help people achieve the vision for their lives that compelled them to choose abortion. Through her coaching and her podcast, Speaking Light Into Abortion, Amanda is smashing stigmas and asking critical—and sometimes messy—questions designed to help her clients embrace their agency and move forward in confidence. Regardless of your relationship to abortion, prepare to feel a paradigm shift during this powerful conversation.

Clubhouse has revealed itself to be a place where folks (like me) who have difficulty moderating will quickly run into trouble. Luckily, before I weaned myself off, I had the opportunity to meet Cynthia Wright, a self-described "queer writer and military brat" who also hosts the fabulous recovery podcast Getting Your Sh*t Together. Cynthia's pod offers a unique mix of storytelling, interviews, personal development, social commentary, and—of course—recovery tips. We had a great conversation about how podcasting can be a form of therapy, how intersectionality shows up in recovery spaces, and how self-compassion played a pivotal role in her own story. Enjoy!

Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation. When Sara and I first spoke about her appearance on Feminist Hotdog, I wasn't entirely clear on the connection between feminism and suicide prevention. However, after this conversation, I realized that suicide is a stigma-laden topic that—like addiction and abuse—often impacts women in unseen ways and must be talked about openly for anything to improve. In this episode, Sara explains how our medical and emergency response systems are falling short when it comes to suicide prevention and how we can become agents of change by using our voices to challenge cultural narratives about women and mental health. We also dig into some promising developments in policy and treatment and how you can get involved in spreading the word and smashing the stigma around suicide. If you've ever lost someone to suicide or know someone who has, I highly recommend you listen to this healing and inspiring episode.

Zillah Eisenstein is an influential scholar, writer, and activist who has engaged in feminist action and inquiry for over 40 years. Her book Abolitionist Socialist Feminism profoundly affected me when I read it last year, so I was thrilled when she agreed to come on the show to discuss her career and the state of the world. Among many other topics, we talked about being a white woman raised as an anti-racist, why protests of police brutality gained so much traction in 2020, the many social hierarchies COVID has exposed, and how she stays engaged and inspired after 40-plus years of feminist and progressive activism. One particular powerful mantra she shared: “Whatever you do, you don’t wait.” Stuff We Talked About on This Episode http://zillaheisenstein.wordpress.com/ (Zillaheisenstein.wordpress.com) https://zillaheisenstein.wordpress.com/2019/04/25/abolitionist-socialist-feminism-radicalizing-the-next-revolution/ (Abolitionist Socialist Feminism: Radicalizing the Next Revolution) "https://www.fromthesquare.org/the-new-us-while-calling-out-trump-white-women/ (The New US: While Calling Out Trump White Women)" "https://www.fromthesquare.org/the-misogyny-of-covid-and-white-supremacy/ (The Misogyny of COVID and White Supremacy)" "https://www.fromthesquare.org/a-letter-to-my-anti-racist-feminist-sisters-in-the-time-of-covid-19/ (A Letter to My Anti-racist Feminist Sisters in the Time of COVID-19)" Support this podcast

It's not every day you get to interview a woman who has inspired you for decades. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with feminist icon Loretta J. Ross, activist, writer, and scholar, and a critical voice who has helped shape many aspects of the Women's Movement and the ongoing struggle for human rights worldwide. Over the course of her career, she has worked to center Black women and girls in conversations about sexual and gender-based violence, sterilization abuse, violent extremism, and reproductive justice (a framework she co-created). Her more recent work focuses on helping activists hone the skills they need to hold each other accountable without undermining their humanity—an approach she refers to as "calling in," an alternative to "calling out." For anyone who needs a beautiful reminder of the benefits of treating each other more gently, this episode is for you. Stuff We Talked About on This Episode https://lorettajross.com (Loretta J.
