110 - I Know We've Come So Far, But We've Got So Far To Go
It's Pride Month, and this year, with all the ups and downs 2020 has brought, continued the roller coaster this time. The Supreme Court finally ruled that LGBTQ+ people shouldn't be able to be fired for being who they are, just in time to celebrate Pride in the nation's capital. We talked about all this, and all that still needs to be done.
If you're interested in helping, consider donating to some of these charities:
109 - Trapped By a Broken System
It's been a big few weeks. The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has led a major reckoning around the work regarding the role of black people in modern society and the massive structural racist inequalities that are baked into our civilization. We talked about what's been happening and how our perspective and our understanding of our own obligations as privileged white people are to participate and support the coming reckoning on race in this country.
Links on things mentioned in the episode:
- Brilliant black author Kimberly Jones' video challenging us to understand how we have broken the social contract in the United States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb9_qGOa9Go
- What the George Floyd Protests Have Already Achieved (Slate): https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/06/george-floyd-protests-achieve-change.html
There are a multitude of brilliant black authors, thinkers, poets, activists, politicians, and more. We strongly urge you to listen to them, learn from them, and amplify their work.

We're reposting some of our old episodes to re-share our favorites. New episodes every other Wednesday, throwback episodes in between!

106 - Goodbye, Tony
We lost a giant recently. Tony Noce, longtime listener of the pod and a close friend and mentor of Chris, died on April 21, 2020. He succumbed to a long battle with stage 4 glioblastoma. We talked through our feelings about this loss and realized one more lesson that our good friend left for us, even in the end.
For those of you interested, Tony's friend request that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Frank S. Noce and Anthony M. Noce ’83 Endowed Scholarship Fund at McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, NY. Details on a memorial service will be relayed at a later date.
Tony's obituary: https://www.cunninghamfuneralhome.net/obituary/anthony-m-tony-noce/
Farewell Tony. You will be missed.
