In this eye-opening episode of Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian take a deep dive into the rise of American Christian Nationalism. Using a Wisecrack video as their launch point, they unpack how evangelicalism transformed into a political force more concerned with power, performance, and prosperity than with the teachings of Jesus.

What good is a good sense of humour especially when the humour may be ethically questionable? Although humour seems a valuable part of a good conversation and indeed a good life, jokes have never seemed more morally problematic than they do now. How can we then evaluate quips, gibes, pranks, teasing, light mockery, sarcasm when they can all too often be mean, deceitful, disrespectful, humiliating, cruel? And how is a moral philosopher to evaluate such dilemmas without taking himself and morality too seriously or too lightly?  In Wisecracks: Humor and Morality in Everyday Life (University of Chicago Press, 2024), David W. Shoemaker considers the interplay between humor and morality. With wit and evident joy, Shoemaker considers how "wisecracks" between family and friends are of ethical value despite how morally suspect they may appear. In arguing for the moral status of a wisecrack or a joke as partly resting on the wisecracker's intentions and motives, Shoemaker goes on to show just how complicated and sometimes unwarranted the moral complaints against humor are, despite what many may think. Wisecracks may remain, at the book's end, far from benign or an unalloyed good, but unlike in Plato's ideal republic, Shoemaker is convinced we need to keep them coming.  Damian Maher is a fellow by examination at All Souls College, University of Oxford.

Our first cage match! Austin and Raymond have chosen LONGLEGS (dir. Oz Perkins) and THE SUBSTANCE (dir. Coralie Fargeat) to battle it out. Join the crew as they break down these films, from the different ways each director relies on genre expectation, to the iconography within both films - and, of course, a dash of philosophy sprinkled in to cover the "gaze" in these pieces.

The Pink Opaque! Raymond and Austin are joined by Mallory Blair to talk Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW. Listen along as they peel apart the many layers in this film, from the nuanced trans experience of "cracking open the egg" in the character's self-discovery, to the specificity of Schoenbrun's direction, to the philosophical metaphors we can use to get the most meaning out of this film.

Cornell philosopher David Shoemaker joins us for a long winding journey up to the Overlook Hotel, a DEEP dive on Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. We tackle all the big questions - is the hotel truly haunted? What if anything does it symbolize? Why are there two Gradys and two sets of daughters?  How does the filmmaking – and the Steadicam in particular - amplify our sense of dread?  Does Jack shine too? How does he get out of the storage closet? Is Shelly Duval's performance actually brilliant? What the fuck is up with Bill? Should the Overlook have included a land acknowledgment? And lots more. Come listen to us, forever and ever and ever….

Pranks, Joshing, Deception, Practical Jokes ... Humor takes shape in many forms. But can a joke go too far? Should a joke's funniness be measured by the reactions it elicits, the intentions of the joke, or none of the above? Cornell Professor David Shoemaker is a philosopher and author. He joins the podcast to discuss his latest book, 'Wisecracks: Humor and Morality in Everyday Life'. Wisecracks - https://www.amazon.ca/Wisecracks-Humor-Morality-Everyday-Life/dp/0226832988 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sweat-drenched tales from Taiwan and math mishaps set the stage as Joey Callahan, the Philly comic with a penchant for storytelling, joins me for a whirlwind of laughs and poignant musings. Our banter dances between Joey's family legacy, steeped in the history of Nazi Germany, and the warmth of a Philadelphia pub.  We confront the stark reality of mortality, the haunting thought of dying alone, and the solace found in cultural rites like the Irish wake. Our conversation, stitched with humor, traverses the highs and lows of life, from the stereotype of the 'big Irish head' to the deeper connections we forge through shared stories and experiences. From life on the road to adapting our acts for the ever-evolving taste of stand-up connoisseurs, Joey and I unpack the craft's nuanced layers. We contemplate the aspirations that drive a comedian and the rich tapestry of human connection laughter weaves, regardless of the stage or spotlight. So tune in for an episode that promises not only a good laugh but also a candid look at the comedy of life itself.The Big C*nty CouchHosts That Girl Gina & Mike Fails invite queers and peers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

When you think about it, being a YouTuber isn't so different from being a singer-songwriter.  In each case, you need to dig deep, be original, authentic and often get incredibly vulnerable – all while the world is looking on.  Canadian singer/songwriter Haley Blais has proven truly brilliant in both fields! This hit-YouTuber-turned-award-winning-musician shows us exactly why that is on her new album Wisecrack, and furthermore with the performance she shared with CKUA in this beautifully candid Hidden Track Session.  Haley has experienced a unique artistic evolution, to say the very least. Originally from Kelowna, BC, she started off her involvement in the arts as a classically trained opera singer, eventually making the move to Vancouver and cultivating a fruitful career as a content creator. But music has always been with her, and homespun musical performances proved to be hugely successful on her YouTube channel, including one ukulele-accompanied performance of an old pop song from the 1920s - which has received millions of views in the 2020s!  She has continued branching out into new adventures in music and her career as a singer, songwriter and recording artist kicked into high gear with her debut EP in 2016. In late 2023, she released her sophomore full-length album Wisecrack on Arts & Crafts. The album release tour saw her take a spin through Alberta in early 2024 and brought her to CKUA's live performance space for an intimate, funny, heartbreaking and occasionally expletive-laden session on the Hidden Track Podcast.  Hidden Track is a CKUA production made possible by the generosity of our donor community.
