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. Thank you for joking us this week! If you have topic suggestions or concept questions, send us an email about it at deeploreofthemind@gmail.com! Music by Stephen Newman.

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!

Save Some For My Sandwich - Pornography Part 3

This one is chaotic, friends! Clearly Diamalynne was already having some type of day before this episode, and carried that energy into the beginning. But, it’s a pretty fun energy, so let’s have fun together! We get crude, we get weird, and we get silly. Doc even pulls out his google machine and does an image search in the middle of the episode, which was wildly exciting. Thank you for joining us!
