The BAD PODCAST Bozeman Antifa Dance (& Theatre Collective)

As the sun sets and through a mid-episode coughing bout, we (Aly and Jim) return with a pretty substantive and no doubt controversial episode focusing on why we don't vote. Can that be justified when there's an actual authoritarian fascist running for office? Obviously, we believe so and fall in the line of anarchists, such as Emma Goldman, who have traditionally refused to vote. So, if we don't vote, what do we do? The conversation morphs into a discussion of feelings about various tactics, ...

Connection is the loose thread in this episode, where Aly and I (Jim) explore my recent magical trip to South Florida, where I talk about the beautiful things I took from ecstatic dancing in a beautifully held environment, the most spectacular drum circle I have ever been, and a little into my experience in a tantric massage class. Then, Aly talks about her experiences in dumpster diving and a brief discussion of freganism and the unexpected creative opportunity that arises from it. Fin...

This podcast is best seen on YouTube! - https://youtu.be/vlYPjuuy7m0This is the podcast to watch and dance to (not simply to listen to). Aly and I (Jim) show an hour of us dancing in public so you can see what it looks and feels like. Between sets, we talk about dancing, how you can dance with us, and just what goes on in the Bozeman streets. We are dancing Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at Soroptomist Park (at Main and Rouse) in Bozeman from 5-6 PM (and probably again on January 17 same time an...

Aly and Jim talk about love, particularly how Aly defines it and how many of the deepest aspects of it can apply to people who are not our romantic partners. Indeed, much of the discussion is not about romance but rather the practice of love in non-traditional ways and how we can reapply those ideas back into some of our more traditionally defined relationships. However, some of us still want romantic love, and Aly screens some of Jim's dating prospects as they discuss why Jim doesn't have a ...

Episode 13 (the third one on video) is up, and we have a guest. Recorded in the home of Aly and Jim's most creative friend Phaidra, she shares her vision for opening up her home as a community space for theater, dance, and other expression. Phaidra shares how she and her partner Ryan have multipurposed his skate ramp as a backyard stage. We go deep from there discussing the nature of community. Then, the three do a short reading related to community of the play "Metamorphoses" by Mary Zimmerm...

Lots of feels in this one as Jim and Aly get very personal sharing a wide range of emotions, first on some of the beautiful events of Jim's 50th birthday week, including a redemption story involving the Talking Heads and dance. Then, Aly speaks of a suicide that touched her recently and about her own journey into embracing life. Between, and with a little "andropomorphizing," they take some shots at men, among them the owner of Sidewinders. We were due for a reprise of the anti-ad against Sid...
