Labels, Labeling, Labeled

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 21:06:33 -0800

How do you feel about being labeled? How do you feel about labeling? Do you lay claim to any labels?

Does labeled = pigeonholed?

Binary Sex

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 21:43:14 -0800

Kindra poses a question: are you male or female...or neither? We discuss sex, gender, and identity. Rhetoric, humor, and sex. What else do you need?

YIR: Two Thousand Wine

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:42:39 -0800

I called this episode Two Thousand Wine because I feel that we all complain a wee-bit. Sometimes too much. And since I do alright at it I figured we could enjoy our holiday break and complain about other people’s complaints over a glass of wine. Or something like that. I hope all has treated you well thus far. I hope it gets better. Over the horizon there is something, it may be nothing, but at least there is something.

Enough rambling, enjoy.

Thank you.

Talk to you soon!

BBB, AAA, & KKK?

What I am trying to say is we talk a little more about how smart BBB can b. A swell guy and a great convo finishes a note higher than violence. Enjoy.

The University of Sacrifice

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:13:02 -0800

Kindra and Nero finish discussing their experiences at the UC Davis & UC Berkeley protests. Which side of the fence are you on? I say forget fences, lets do this in a open field. The only way these things can work out is if you have the forum to communicate openly and respectfully in.

Does the UC Look Out for Me?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:18:30 -0800

Though we don’t address it in this episode the UCs are at it again. Berkeley is protesting this Wed, Thur, and Friday. It has been 40 plus years since the ‘60s. Will it be done right this time? Or is it just another example of what we talk about in this episode?

Protesting, does it work?

Being the influence

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:05:37 -0800

Not only are we influenced, but we also influence. Positively and negatively. If you give-in to another, if you are influenced by another, you are influencing them to continue finding ways to have you give-in to them. A vicious circle?
As an individual that influences others what is your responsibility to those you influence?

Think Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Cheers!

Influenced by Those Around

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 00:21:00 -0800

Alex & Alex & Kindra talk with Paige about being influenced by those around you. Positively, negatively, period. It happens whether you know it or not. If you believe one thing try associating with those who believe the opposite and see how you have changed after a few months, more so over the years.

Disorganized

Sun, 8 Nov 2009 21:51:04 -0800

Enjoy this trip into the land of too many people and too much booze. Its a short, hyperactive interaction between Alex & Alex & Kindra & Jaymes & introducing a new guest, Paige, who you can catch up with, more organized, the next two days.

FEMA

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:19:38 -0700

Thank ya’ll for dealing with the delays, again.
But it makes sense, we were just trying to do to our audience what FEMA did to it’s. Ha. As you can see the world isn’t black and white, but grey and rainbowed. Let’s see if the government searches for this conversation about Kindra back packing kids, rather backpacking with kids. Taking chances vs statistics. Laws vs facts. Enjoy!

H1N1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:38:14 -0700

Oink, oink. Le Swine Flu--does it exist? Is it a real threat? Did the new proposed healthcare systems create it? Is it like HIV & Crack? That and some other less conspiracy-based talk.
