In season 4 episode 5 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we discuss the idea of space and time from the Agnostic perspective given by J.Scott and titled the Space Train of Love. We also talk about the Bible due to a recent trip taken by L.A. to the Museum of the Bible discussing why we should take the Bible as a book we can put our faith in. You don't want to miss this episode.

On Season 4 episode 4 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we discuss the importance of using proper terms and definitions in our discussions. Popular terms and phrases being used in the culture such as Christian Nationalism, White Supremacy and Semi-Facist can be very harmful when they are used to define entire groups of people improperly for the purposes of getting one group to hate another. Join us on this next episode as we see this issue from our different worldviews in a respectful discussion. It's once again time to up our dialogue.

In Season 4 Episode 3 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we discuss Violence in America within the context of the latest two mass shootings in Buffalo NY and Uvalde TX. What is the Great Replacement Theory? What are the core issues that result in violence? Are guns the major problem that should be focused on first or are there other more important issues we should focus on first? Is gun control the only solution? Let's talk about it.

In episode 2 season 4 of the up your dialogue podcast we look at the possible overturning of Roe V Wade. What does it mean and what will be the impact of this decision should it be handed down as it is written? Should precedent hold? Is this about a woman's right to choose or the life of the unborn? It's time once again to up our dialogue and talk about this important topic

Twitter has been a raging dumpster fire with little to no profitability for years. Will this change with Elon Musk buying the company ? Can he be as successful with a social media platform as he has been with Space X and Tesla? In episode 1 of our new season we up our dialogue and discuss this interesting topic that can have a big impact on the way communication is done on the internet.

What is critical race theory? Where does it come from? Should we allow it into the culture as many are seeking to do today? Listen to this podcast for the answers as we "Up our dialogue" and talk about this important topic

In the first episode of season 3 (and of 2021), we discuss the conservative movement and talk about it in the context of time. We talk about some of the people that have influenced us as well as some of the other "isms" and what they mean. By the end we are asking ourselves "Will We learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools?"

It's time to up your Dialogue once again.

In Season 2 episode 6 of the Up your dialogue podcast we are back from our covid-19 hiatus talking about Election 2020. What are the covid-19 impacts? Can we trust the election results? What about potential Fraud? Get your answers here without a screaming match or media bias. It's time to up your dialogue once again 

In Season 2 episode 5 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we once again take a look at the Corona Virus pandemic. This time we take a proper look at the timeline and discuss the data it gives us. We also take a look at the current data for the virus and discuss how America gets the economy going again. In both cases data is essential to understanding the past and the future. 

Season 2 Episode 4 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast starts out with current events focused on the Covid-19 virus since that continues to be what everyone is talking about these days. At the end of current events we talk about the 2020 campaign and a crazy prediction is made in regard to who will eventually get the nomination for the Democrats. In the second part of the podcast we discuss a couple of our favorite films we have recently watched which covers many topics such as AI, morality, God and others. We even introduce a fun new addition to the opening audio. 

In Season 2 episode 3 of the Up Your Dialogue Podcast we take a look at the next 30 days to kill the virus. Americans are once again asked to stay at home and many businesses are ordered to close their doors until April 30, 2020. Many on the right say this proposed cure might be worse than the virus itself and that Americans need to get back to work sooner rather than later. Many on the left like the Governor of California say we should use this as an opportunity to further a progressive agenda. Still others lost in the middle say walking the tightrope between the economy and our overall health is the way to go. Who is right? What is the right course of action? Let's talk about it

In Episode 2 Season 2 we take a look at the worldwide pandemic called Corona virus or Covid-19. We focus on issues like what changes Americans might make as a result of the pandemic as well as what lessons we might learn from this and other historical pandemics. 

In the seventh episode we introduce our open dialogue format where there is no specific topic. We have an open dialogue where anything goes. We ended up giving updates on our new twitter account that is already closing in on 300 followers and our new "Up Your Diablog" where we will be putting our thoughts in written form. The new website is still at upyourdialog.com. We also talked about the crazy world of #Twitter until about the 37 minute mark. After that we discussed the new book by Peter Boghossian @peterboghossian and James Lindsay @ConceptualJames called How to have impossible conversations until around the 55 minute mark. We gave the book an endorsement just as Richard Dawkins has which shows how the book transcends lenses. The rest of the podcast focused on the Democratic Primary and a closer look at the insanity that most of the lower tier candidates have become. Our focus was on them since we will not be seeing much of them soon.

In our 6th podcast we examine the writings of C.S. Lewis, one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 20th century. From the beloved fiction including the Chronicles of Narnia to thoughtful non-fiction including such writings as Surprised by Joy and Mere Christianity, Lewis takes us on a journey of his life from paganism to Christianity. A literary scholar and Christian apologist against modernism, Lewis proves prophetic in being able to see our post modern culture and the dangers that confront us. His suspect Theology aside, Lewis causes Believers and non-believers alike to think about their worldview through his mastery of the written word.

In the 5th episode of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we explore the gender issue that has surprisingly become a great source of confusion today. We start out talking about the current attacks on Trump, then move into gender pronouns, a Biblical look at gender, and finally exploring at some depth the different modern ideas of gender fluidity and non-binary gender.

In Season 1 episode 4 of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we discuss Agnosticism from the lens of the Christian and the Atheist. Our co-host J.Scott takes the agnostic position and explains his view as "True Agnosticism" of the likes of Carl Sagan and Baruch Spinoza, and differentiates his view from the new Atheism of the day as well as defending it against attacks. L.A. Londy looks at both views from the Christian worldview.

In Season 1 episode 3 we talk a little about the latest mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton and then about violence and inner city problems in general. The cities chosen are our respective hometowns and cities that we can learn from in terms of how problems like violence and poverty become problems and, when not confronted at the sources, get much worse.

In Season 1 Episode 2 we initially talk about the Democratic debates that were going on at the time of recording. From there we move into the topic where we spend some time in the 16th-18th centuries discussing major events from the Protestant Reformation to the American and French Revolutions. Our focus is understanding how and in what context these events took place, and what impact they might have for us today. We explore the idea of the human condition and the consequences of that in both secular and religious viewpoints. Theological ideas of the time as well as political structures they operated in. It’s time to up your dialogue once again.
