Along with Dr. Jeff Barke, his podcast Informed Dissent discusses mental and physical health, politics, and culture.  Mark joins Josh to talk about the explosion of Cluster B, narcissistic personality traits and behaviors in society, and how the mental health establishment not only doesn't recognize it, but is contributing to the prevalence of these behaviors.  We also discuss the effect of feminist and leftist ideologies on our collective mental health, and how these have upended traditional and sane understandings of good health, behavior, and personal responsibility.  Look up Mark's podcast Informed Dissent on your favorite podcast platform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talk Cinephilia to Me Juli Kearns "Talk Cinephilia to me" is a podcast about watching cinema--artistic, outsider, experimental and B movies--brought to you by author playwright, Juli Kearns, and her son, Aaron Dylan Kearns, an experimental filmmaker who, though he was raised on great cinema, loves tawdry horror. He knows things I don't about film. I know things he doesn't. Most importantly, we know enough to be very aware of what we don't know. We promise to be humble, somewhat meandering hosts because we're disaffected dyslexic leftists with opinions and our filters are busted.Check our website for episode notes and info!! Captives of the Flame by Samuel R. Delany (1942 - ) LibriVox Chip Delany's 2nd novel -- the first is The Jewels of Aptor (1962) -- published by Ace Books in 1963. Set in the 35th Century, the survivors of a nuclear war live on the coastline and an island in a kingdom ruled by a royal family in disrepair. A young victim -- the son of a wealthy merchant -- of their wrath becomes a working-class hero as he fights to get back his good name, aided by a disaffected member of the royal family. This was later rewritten as Out of The Dead City by Delany as part of the Towers Trilogy, an early masterpiece, IMO.

This album looks at the decade of violence and destruction that occurred in Sierra Leone in the 1990's. Now that peace has finally come about through the efforts of the international community, it's time to debate whether the root causes of war have been adequately addressed, and what lessons can be learned. 50% of Sierra Leoneans are under 15 and unskilled. Lack of education, poverty and unemployment are still rife and it's this lack of development that gives rise to conflict. Views from all sides are presented, including those of women, disaffected youth, members of the RUF and the new peace-keeping forces, to provide an in-depth analysis of the complexities of the aftermath of a civil war. In the academic perspective, Helen Yanocopulos, Senior Lecturer in International Politics and Development at The Open University provides insight into the educational val
