from Citations Needed
In this episode, we detail the vague, baseless racism-sowing media coverage and pop culture obsession with so-called "sleeper cells," a construction that has consumed post-9/11 America but suffers from one major problem: there's no evidence it exists.

Journey of Joy
Joy T. Williams
After my dad passed in 2014 I needed to do a deep introspection, and this podcast captures my journey from healing to joy. Well, that is how this podcast got started. It has now morphed into a dialogue of life events with my faith being an integral part of the conversation, but also more! The list is as vast and as limited as my life experiences, so come take a peek at the many adventures I share with you. Folks of different faiths, agnostics, and even atheists have described these conversations as insightful, challenging, and entertaining. Hope you will join the conversation!
