Sex education shouldn't suck, but it very often does. Whether it's at school, church, online, or with friends, we've found that there's almost always rampant misinformation about sex and a total lack of what people actually need to know. This podcast is an attempt to shed light on how much sex ed currently sucks and try to help it not...suck.
Join friends Jen McPhail and Kaylee Moser as they talk to people from all walks of life about their sex education experiences, how it impacts them now, and what could have been better. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sex-ed-shouldnt-suck/support

Consent Is Toxic to Purity Culture with Jeff Eaton from the Christian Rightcast
This incredible interview with Jeff Eaton, co-host of the Christian Rightcast, is split into two episodes. In this episode, we discuss Jeff's upbringing as a Christian homeschooler in the 1980s. Jeff tells us all about his experience in purity culture, from the earnestness that he felt for the cause to his eventual deconstruction. We talk about the destructive pitfalls of purity culture and how consent is not only an avoided topic, but actually toxic to the ideology of purity culture.

How to Talk to People Who Are Anti-abortion
We're back for part 2 of the abortion conversation. In this episode, we talk about our experiences learning about abortion (mostly from church) in the 90s and early 2000s. Kaylee recounts her slow journey from anti-abortion to pro-choice in hopes of illuminating the path from anti-abortion to pro-choice. We end the episode by discussing what common ground there is between anti-abortion and pro-choice people. Hint: it's better sex education.
If you're in need of some light and fun reading, Guttmacher Institute has a fact sheet on abortion statistics in the United States.
