The Radical Secular Podcast

Even though we called ourselves The Radical Secular, the tone was not nearly radical enough for me. I can’t stomach pulling any punches about religion or spirituality.

Christophe, Liz and Sean react to the overturning of Roe v Wade. Gun policy. Juneteenth. The consequences of ideological purity.

A deep-dive explainer on America’s gun-violence epidemic. How it’s tied to our history of racism, the Civil War, colonialism and the genocide of indigenous Americans.

The Buffalo Massacre, and the psychological toll on people of color. Long-term impact of women being 2nd-class citizens. Progressive introspection.

The loss of Roe v. Wade. Climate. Energy. Guest Kevin Bolling on the war on secular education, and its impact on kids’ health, especially girls.

Drug policy, harm reduction. What does a healthy relationship with drugs and alcohol look like? Problems with 12-step recovery groups like AA.

We explore all forms of oppression of the human body. The emancipatory and reactionary components of modernism and postmodernism. Surveillance, prisons, and post-truth.

The Will Smith slap. Intersectionality. Guest segment with Sirena Prophet. Her coming out story, and struggles to live as an openly trans woman.

Putin’s war on Ukraine isn’t just about territory. He’s become the primary global defender of Christian fascism, and enemy of universal human rights.

Liz Wilson joins Christophe for a discussion about the Putin war in Ukraine, the experience of making art, and the unpaid, invisible labor performed by women in our patriarchal culture.
