Join us for an interesting discussion on atheism and positive reasons for same.

If you don't like swearing, then consider doing literally ANYthing but listening to this podcast. This surprisingly deep, deeply profane discussion ranges from the roots of swear words, whether context is important for certain language, and the misogyny behind body-part cuss words.

Some feminists hate it. Some Christians are obsessed with it. What the hell is it? How can you define masculinity? We have our usual gays, a feminist Christian woman and a conservative Christian man to discuss the concept of masculinity.

Where do morals come from if you don't believe in free will? Can we have accountability for actions if they are predetermined? This week we have a continuation of the fascinating conversation between two Christians and two atheists who disagree on the existence of free will.

We were either predetermined to have this conversation or we are exercising our free will to discuss free will. It's a discussion that exists within Christianity and within the scientific world. Is free will an illusion and we are simply the product of our biology and our experiences (or the will of a God)? Or do we actually make decisions that matter?

The Women's March brought many women together and others said it did not reflect their values. What does it mean to be woman? Man? Gay? Straight? Our identity and identities seem to define who we are and we have many identities. You can identify as a runner, as a lesbian, and as a mother. All at the same time. In this episode we discuss identity and how it shapes us.

Mental illness has a tendency of being stigmatizing, but we hope to fight that by talking about our own mental illnesses. In this issue we talk about mental health issues and two of us disclose our mental illnesses. This is an interesting, blunt, and honest conversation about mental health.

What is science? In this episode we discuss whether science and religion are at odds with each other and whether there are better or worse ways of knowing. We talk to a real live lady scientist (they DO exist!) and a science loving former Christian.

Society has fucked over many of us with the ways it views our bodies. Women, people of color, LGBTQ people, religious people; many of us learned to shame our bodies because other people see us in particular ways. In this episode Alex Comstock and Brad Allen interview two women and an Asian man about the ways they see their bodies in a society that perceives them in specific ways.

"Queer" is a word that many LGBTQ people have re-appropriated as a positive descriptor of non-heterosexual people. In this episode, we discuss the term "Queer" and the concept of "queering". We also cover sexuality, polyamory, and so-called conversion therapy with our two guests.

The election of Donal J. Trump was a surprise to conservatives and liberals alike. This week I interviewed a Trump voter and a Hillary voter about their values and why they voted how they did. Don't assume you know their perspective! Listen in to these interviews and engage thoughtfully with a perspective that is not your own.

when did you first understand yourself as a sexual being? this week we continue to hear stories from the women from last week who shared their stories of understanding themselves as sexual beings. it honestly felt like holy space while I just shut up and listened to these amazing women share their stories and lives. I hope you listen to this powerful episode where we laugh, cry, and hear stories that don't often have the space to be heard.

What is VIRGINITY? How would you define it and does it matter? This week we have a panel of all women to talk about virginity, purity culture, and healthy sexual development. In this sexuality dialogue it is vital to hear from women who have experienced various ways of engaging themselves as sexual beings. We reference a blog written by Ruthie, one of our participants this week, which can be found here: http://coloradoyouthmatter.org/publications/blog/trust/item/virginity-is-a-tricky-subject-answering-difficult-questions

Masturbation. Everyone calm down, we are doing to talk about masturbation. Do you think people should masturbate? Should they resist masturbation? This week, our panelists discuss this messy topic.

Pornography. Half our ads are pornographic, some feminists critique pornography as exploitative and others say it's free expression. Many people consume it in private while publicly condemning it.
