    Episode 11: Back to School With Professor X

    This episode we are joined by my college History professor, Professor X, as we talk about the "isms" we adopt, whether by choice or necessity, and how both of us ended up taking a lot of things for granted in our academic years and how we came to unpack those implicit biases. It's a good conversation with an old friend and we bounce around from talk about the invention of "white people" to our favorite podcasts (besides this one).

    Black Lives Matter

    A little explanation for why the "Political Podcast" up and f*****g vanished during the most important protests in a century.  In Short: I was waiting to make it perfect and, lo and behold, perfect never came.

    Episode 09: What Is There To Like About Superheroes?

    There's something to be said about being able to articulate why it is you like what you like and I think the things I like about superhero narratives are what lead me to become a leftist.  *Mild Spoiler Warning* for plot elements of old seasons of Arrow and Flash.

    Episode 08: Mere Christianity feat. Manfred DeVox

    You could say that religion was the first fandom. This week I have my good friend Manfred DeVox on the podcast to talk about how we both started out as kinda conservative students on our way to becoming pastors, took wildly divergent paths, and somehow still ended up as Christians(with doubts) and political leftists. I don't believe religion needs to be an obstacle to progressive politics and Pastor DeVox spells out the case quite nicely.  Find Pastor Manfred DeVox on twitter @DevoxRev

    Episode 07: "Electability" Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does feat. Leo Cookman

    Hold No Heroes goes international as I get a chance to talk with writer and young Jeremy Corbyn impersonator, Leo Cookman, about his article "What Is Electability?" and why a word that has such an obvious meaning seems to have many hidden facets.  If you enjoyed this conversation with Leo as much as I did then be sure to pre-order Leo's book "Time's Lie : The Narrativisation of Life" here: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Leo-Cookman/Times-Lie--The-Narrativisation-of-Life/24663671 Check out Leo's other work here: https://linktr.ee/leocookman

    Episode 06: Dog Day Online

    It's 48 hours after the Iowa caucus and, while we can all agree than Bernie Sanders won, the question on everyone's lips is: Will you vote blue no matter who? That's right. It's everybody's FAVORITE part of the news cycle, where we ask the people with principles, "Do you have to?" And with resounding clarity and conviction we say: YES!
