Money—the last standing taboo in our society and the number one cause of divorce—takes center stage in this candid conversation between Sabrina Soto and Pattie Ehsaei, the "Duchess of Decorum" on TikTok. Raw, unedited, and refreshingly honest, this discussion dives deep into why financial independence remains non-negotiable for creating balanced power dynamics in relationships.The conversation tackles Pattie's viral advice to "never date a broke dude"—clarifying that it's less about someone's bank balance and more about matching "hustle for hustle." Financial compatibility means aligning ambition, responsibility, and mindset rather than dollar amounts. They discuss practical strategies for maintaining financial independence, tactical advice for improving credit scores, and five crucial questions everyone should ask before marriage. Ready to break the money taboo in your own life?

Following an early Spring hiatus, we're pleased to bring the Departures podcast back with a very special guest, the Canadian author and Adjunct Fellow at the Manhattan Institute Eric Kaufmann. Eric joins Robert Amsterdam  to discuss his interesting new book "Taboo: How Making Race Sacred Produced a Cultural Revolution." Kaufmann argues that the anti-racism taboo established in the mid-1960s became the "Big Bang of our moral universe," giving immense power to those who wield it. The conversation explores how progressive moral foundations focused solely on equality and care have created policy failures, how expanding definitions of racism have failed to protect minorities but instead serve to silence debate, and why self-censorship today exceeds that of the McCarthy era. Kaufmann's work examines the implications of these cultural shifts on institutions, free speech, and political discourse while offering thoughts on potential solutions, including recent American political developments.

Femicide is not just a word. It's a tragedy, and a manifestation of the deep-rooted inequality women face in every corner of society. It's not just the tragic end of a life; it's the culmination of years of violence, abuse, and power imbalances that have been allowed to fester unchecked.Unfortunately, despite legal advancements, femicides remain a persistent issue across Europe. Some countries have introduced comprehensive laws to combat gender-based violence. But others still lack legal recognition of femicide as a distinct crime. In turn, the lack of official data about femicides in several countries further obscures the true scale of the problem. So, why, then, is the legal recognition of femicides a taboo? And, beyond that, are we doing enough as societies to respond effectively to femicides? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We were joined by Pastor Mike Novotny for a candid and thought-provoking discussion about the topics many Christians shy away from—pornography, sexuality, mental health, and more. In this episode, we explore why avoiding these conversations can cause more harm than good and how approaching them with humility, empathy, and biblical truth can transform lives and relationships. Pastor Mike shares his own story of healing through vulnerability, offers practical insights on addressing tough topics with family and community, and explains why boldness in faith often begins with uncomfortable honesty.

I am delighted to connect with Dr. Nicky Keay today. She is a medical doctor specializing in exercise endocrinology and the author of The Myths of Menopause.  In our conversation, we explore the taboos surrounding menopause, menstruation, and periods, looking at the narratives, trends, and language that shape our understanding of those phases in a woman's life. We dive into the perimenopause and menopause symptoms Dr. Keay refers to as Pandora's box, the neuro-endocrine regulation of eating behaviors, and the relative energy deficiency associated with restriction, over-fasting, and over-exercising. We also discuss how lab testing during these transitions can lead to uncertainty, the impact of smoking on ovarian senescence, and menopausal hormone therapy.  This conversation is invaluable, and I look forward to inviting Dr. Keay back for a follow-up discussion later this year. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The discomfort that exists around menopause  The negative connotations associated with aging and the importance of changing the narrative How oral contraceptives have led to a disconnection from natural hormone rhythms  The positive changes in body composition and the potential for wisdom and knowledge gained during menopause What are the initial signs of perimenopause? The role estrogen and growth hormones play in body composition and appetite The challenges of over-restricting and why balanced nutrition is essential to support hormonal changes The benefits of blood tests in cases of uncertainty or relative energy deficiency What is the impact of smoking and excessive alcohol intake?

In 15th and 16th century Scotland, in the highest courts of the land, you'd find esteemed poets hurling insults at each other. This was flyting, a sort of medieval equivalent of battle rap, and it was so popular at the time that the King himself wrote instructions for how to do it well. Writer and Scots language campaigner Ishbel McFarlane and historical linguist Joanna Kopaczyk explain the art of flyting, where an insult becomes slander, what's going on within the speech act of performative diss-trading, and what the legal consequences could be of being accused of witchcraft. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/flyting.  Content note: this episode contains brief references to historical capital and corporal punishments, and discussion of insults and slurs; there is also a derogatory term for sex workers, and category A and B swears.
