The Sacred +Profane Podcast nephtaragrace The Sacred + Profane Podcast is a provocative conversation dedicated to cementing a better future for all. We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet. Explicit On Offense: Conversations with Kris Goldsmith Kristofer Goldsmith On Offense: Conversations with Kris Goldsmith features raw, urgent, and unfiltered conversations about the fight against fascism in America. Hosted by Kris Goldsmith — combat veteran, antifascist investigator, and founder of Task Force Butler and Veterans Fighting Fascism — this series brings you behind the scenes of the struggle to defend democracy from the radical right.These episodes include Substack Live interviews, collaborative deep dives, and audio dispatches that explore domestic extremism, authoritarian threats, and the growing grassroots resistance. You'll also hear voices from the broader antifascist movement, including co-hosts of the Find Out podcast — a sharp, unapologetic roundtable of veteran and activist creators pushing back against disinformation and hate.Whether you're a veteran, researcher, organizer, or concerned citizen, this feed will give you the context and clarity to join the fight — wherever you are.Because fighting fascism requires more than silence. <br Explicit God, S*x, & Everything In Between with Anahita Joon Anahita Joon Welcome to God, S*x & Everything Inbetween. I am Anahita Joon. Born and raised in Islamic Iran, I migrated to the US when I was 14 and began the journey to embodied freedom. For over a decade, I have been supporting female leaders to break free from systemic oppression and embrace the sacredness that is the core of every woman. This is the place you come to remember your innate wholeness, your innate Divinity and your utter and complete permission to be just the way you are. Each week, I will bring you interviews along with my spiritual and practical teachings. We’ll explore both the sacred and profane and dive deeply into all the things that have robbed women of our power and that good girls don’t talk about. Explicit How To Kill A Sacred Cow Jay Henehan How To Kill A Sacred Cow seeks to create a space where any topic is up for debate in a manner that is informed and promotes critical thought. Jay Henehan's intention isn’t to answer all the questions; but rather, to kill the mystique surrounding mainstream media and to help promote a healthy questioning of authority. How do you kill a sacred cow? You talk about it! Explicit
