I speak with Rebecca about an article she recently wrote about the book "How to be an Antiracist" by Ibram X Kendi. By the title of the article, you can see that Rebecca is advocating for actually reading the source material rather than making judgements based on quotes pulled out of context. You may still disagree with the material post read...but at least you will be well informed in that disagreement

Icon Breakers and Life Makers: On Iconoclasm and the Feminine

I sit down with YouTuber and writer Benjamin Boyce to discuss his understanding of Iconoclasm, (the breaking of Icons or sacred images), and the ways in which he incorporates the feminine into his writing. This was a fruitful discussion and I cannot stress enough the amount of untapped knowledge Benjamin possesses on matters of the sacred. This is one to watch guys
