This week, our comrade and activist Wesam stops by and we discuss the illegal war in Iran and West Asia, as a whole, for American and Israeli control of the region. Our conversation revolved around the imperialist powers on this planet, hell bent on completely wiping out indigenous populations and creating a world far too bleak for me to imagine.
The Palestinian struggle is all of our struggle. It always has been. It's the struggle for life. The right to live without fear of genocide! For many this is still a far off dream. Those of us with passing or white complexion may never fully comprehend the suffering faced everyday by humans who have been set for extermination. Not yet anyway. We talk about the out of touch world, as it sits back while others massacres humans and preach peace in the same breath. Our conversation also circles the truth that if they come for you in the morning, they'll come for us in the evening. We illustrate the lack of safety for humans to exist as they are. Thank you Wesam, please keep up the good work in spite of the hatred ypu face everyday.

This week Steve from Stonewall Recovery Centre stops in for what we both hope is a monthly podcast discussing ideas of recovery, healing, "wellness", self harm, identity, and whatever else is going on in the world of recovery and at large.
This week we talk about recovery as a broad subject. The way it was always supposed to be. Broad and open ended because all of the "knowledge" there seems to be about recovery - changes everyday, as humans continue to figure out multiple ways to live, recover and heal. Treating illnesses and each other with compassion is a good start.
There is no business as usual while humans are experiencing genocide around the world at the hands of imperialist, human greed.
Keep talking about Palestine, Iran, Sudan, Congo, Syria, Lebanon...and all of the very real humans suffering at the hands of war mongers.
Please consider looking into mutual aid groups if you're interested in supporting other humans, who are there for even more humans. It sounds like maybe a good way to put humanity back into supportive work.

This week, Gary stops by and shares his story of coming out. We talk about growing passed our religious indoctrination and the great harms it has done. Of course we chat about queer love (my favorite subject) and trying to move forward in life as queer men. Every time I get to sit with queer folks, I am reminded of our power. Of our courage. Of our capacity to love others

This week Darcy and I chat about some of the things going on in the world. There's so much happening all around the planet, we definitely didn't brush on even a small portion of it all. In case we didn't talk about this on the episode (I fully intended on it and will at a later date if not); please read books and center the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour. Our ignorance is our responsibility to overcome, none of us are free, until all of us are free.

This week, one of my favorite humans ever, god's Favorite, Dani stops by.
We talk about a lack of safety, due to a lack of accountability within twelve step groups and programs. We discuss the almost open r#&e culture in which victims become isolated while predators are protected. This is a microcosm of society at large in which we victim blame and remove accountability from the predators placing it firmly and continuously on those most effected by the assaults. Whenever Dani and I sit down, you can assume that there's a trigger warning for our episodes. We talk openly about subjects a lot of folks don't want to hear about because it not only attacks their sensibilities, but it reminds us all that the world is an increasingly and incredibly dangerous place, for some more so than others. Thank you, god's favorite; rock and roll my friend.

This week, Michael stops by and shares their story. He shares a vulnerability and openness that I am honored to have been present for. Michael's hope, like my own, is that somehow, some way, the stories will get where they need to be. Thank you Michael

This week, Othman returns and we talk about Palestine and the ongoing bombing and genocide while the world looks elsewhere. We talk about the United States influence in the middle East and how policy, propaganda, and secret deals have created the current circumstances in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Congo, and the ever growing number of countries under attack and exploitation by imperialist forces of one description or another. Thank you Othman!

This week, the one and only Michelle Robinson joins us. As usual we talk about a while lot of stuff. We talk about the heck of a year 2025 was and how 2026 is looking worse somehow after one week. Tune in as we chat racism, ongoing genocide, bigotry, attack on human rights, queerness, 2SLGBTQIA rights, exploitation, and the list of subjects associated. We start this year off as best we can. Thank you Michelle, your work and voice is vital towards change.
