Deep Lore of the Mind

Procedural Self Care? - Body Modification Part 1: Aesthetic Procedures

After the episode two weeks ago (titled Botox Mommies) we decided that we wanted to get our friend and the highly qualified Shalom Smiley, PMHNP-APRN here to chat with us. Shalom is the medical director at Revint Medical, and she is an expert on aesthetic treatments and using these procedures to boost one’s own confidence. Doc said some pretty harsh things about plastic surgery in the previous episode, so tune in as we listen to what Shalom has to say and learn from her expertise. Thank you for joining us!

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. 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.
