Falling Off the Wagon - Spider-Man and Buddha Part 2

Foreplay Aura - Pornography Part 5

We’re still talking about porn, everyone! This week we get into how the Western idea of individualism permeates the culture of sexuality and porn, and how certain aspects of capitalism keep people in a loop of porn usage. When did sex stop being fun and start being this super serious concept that you can’t joke with your partner about? Find out our ideas on this episode of Deep Lore of the Mind.

Botox Mommies - Topic Roulette Part 3

Well, originally this was a topic roulette episode with multiple topics, but it turns out we had a lot more to say on this topic than we thought. This week we talk about plastic surgery, children in makeup, the implications of those ideas and where they may come from. Also, Doc had an adventure with a composting toilet and tells us all about it. Thank you for joining us!

But They’re Both Pretty? - Wicked the Musical Part 1

Today we have the privilege of having our very own Glinda in the studio, our dear friend Katie! She is a lover and expert on all things musical theater, and today she lends her expertise to us regarding the show Wicked the Musical. In this episode, we get into the ideas of feminine rivalries and where the assumption of rivalry comes from, and how our main characters both fit into and entirely subvert the expectations that we as the audience may be putting on them.

Someone’s Coming! - Pornography Part 4

Amy is so back this week, and we’re focused on the generational differences between us around the cultural understanding around porn. Then we move on to the connection between sufficient emotional education and a fulfilling sex life, but all throughout there are inappropriate jokes and unwelcome commentary so hopefully we’ll get some good giggles out of you while you’re listening.

Falling Off the Wagon - Spider-Man and Buddha Part 2

THWIP!!! The dark triad is back in town… Doc, Diamalynne, and James are here to continue talking about Spider-Man and Buddhism. This episode is pretty heavily focused on compassion and how guilt plays into our experience with compassion. Spider-Man certainly carries a lot of guilt with him, which makes him one of the most compassionate heroes we can think of on the Marvel Universe. Thanks for joining us!
