90: Lack of Grace
I came across this article today and had to respond. This melding of “wellness” with right-wing conspiracies is really disturbing. Specifically, I discuss implicit bias and white privilege in the context of the following paragraph. “There seem to be many incongruences with the black man who was murdered, was he really who he said he was, did he actually die, was that man really a...

Three cheers for journalism at its best
I very much enjoy Derek's podcast, his insightful guests and his attention to the critical topics of our time. I deeply respect his dedication to keeping the ethics of journalism alive. I know with all the half-baked dissemination of information (I won't call it all news) out there, I can turn to Derek and his colleagues for the values that journalism is meant to uphold. I began my college career in journalism and switched to an English major in creative writing. Listening to Derek inspires me on a deep level, having such an affinity for journalism and how important it is to the fabric of our world. ~ Diane, host of Urban Siren Podcast
Love the Kelly Brogan episode
Kelly Brogan is wolf in sheep’s clothing. How do I know? I’ve participated in her programs and met other women who’ve had negative experiences under her “care.”
Kelly entices vulnerable people into her care with feigned flattery, understanding, and validation. She works with people who’ve had difficult, even life-threatening, experiences with medicine and doctors, indoctrinates them into her natural living “philosophy,” then shames them through victim-blaming, shunning, and verbose spiritual gobbledygook and inaccurate science when they ask critical questions and inquire about why they’re not feeling better.
The woman is running a cult. Her employees are patients. She’s a greedy narcissist and this podcast was one of the first sources I found that was calling it.
Thank you for your service.
Consistent intelligent discussions
Each conversation is relevant to the guest, yet relates back to several themes that run through all the episodes. He'll weave in a lot of the same points and facts, so you end up getting several perspectives on the same topic. He is well prepared and manages to ask at least one question that surprises the guest and forces them to really pause and consider their response.
