Talking With T Tawonga k

T is joined by Nessa to discuss some of the conspiracy theories around. T questions whether there are similarities or differences between conspiracy theorists and religious people. In the second half of the episode, Nessa gives us a glimpse into Catholic communion and The Lord’s Prayer, they end the episode with some views on the Vaccines (***corrections on Pfizer origin confusion can be found below*** and apologies for any confusion, the Magnum made me do it 😉). The podcast ends with the classic TWT what brings you JOY in life session. Enjoy and Thank you.

Thanks for tuning in to another TWT episode. The conversation opens up with a brief discussion on the congress controversy that happened in the USA and Tawonga asks how we can have a productive conversation around race where one side is not busy blaming and the other side busy defending which results in no progress in the way we talk about race. In TWT fashion, the conversation closes with everyone stating what brings them joy during lockdown.
