This episode I sit down via Skype with radio host, author, speaker, organizer, and activist Stephanie Zvan.  Stephanie has been a major impact on my life through her friendship, her writing, and her ability to bring people together in an effort to improve the world.  I'm grateful to have the chance to chat with her one on one, across a variety of topics from Minnesota Atheists to the conferences she has organized and some behind the scenes radio stuff.  I hope you enjoy this conversation.

This episode features an interview with a really fun punk band from the Pacific Northwest, Slurm Flirty Worm.  Slurm's drummer and back up vocalist (Abbi) is trans, and a listener local to Slurm helped connect Abbi and I.  The whole band, Abbi, Michael, & Zakk are awesome, and I had a lot of fun chatting with them about how they got their name, what kind of music they play, and of course which hot pockets are the best hot pockets.

Today’s guest is John Wreisner who is the chapter head of the Minneapolis Chapter of the Satanic Temple.  Fair warning to all listener; if you’re going into this interview looking for the best recipe for cooking babies, you will be sorely disappointed.  The Satanic Temple is actually a wonderfully progressive organization that is working to better the day to day lives & experiences of everyone on the LGBTQIAA spectrum better.  That’s not their only goal, but it’s one of the main reasons I reached out to John and asked him to be on the show.  Satanists provide a much needed contrast to the arguments of religious freedom, because as a religion they force themselves into conversations about the proper place for religion in our society and governments.

Prior to the interview I get on my soapbox and discuss my views on political correctness, why I think George Carlin might be a bit wrong, and of course, why I'm right.

After the show find some empty space on the floor and get ready to find your dancing feet as you enjoy the wonderful sounds of The Subwave Network UK

Bad Joke of the episode:

I went to the Doctor yesterday because I had a lettuce lodged in my backside after a night of kinky salad play.  She had me drop my skirt and bend over a bit, and was quite astonished.  "Why Maddy, I can see a small leaf!"

I was non-plussed, "Yes Doctor, but you know that's just the tip of the Iceberg."
