Scooping Sanity
by Chris Kolb, Jorn Otte
If you care about others, want to leave things better for future generations, and wouldn’t mind making your own life a bit easier, this is where you belong. Welcome to a community where facts, logic, and empathy are still important. Welcome to Scooping Sanity.If we have one core belief here it is: When life pushes us down, society should have mechanisms to pick us back up rather than smashing our heads deeper into the gutter.

Interpretive Dancing for Christ
We’re both from deep red states that weren’t until fairly recently. We reflect on that, which takes us into topics like our childhoods, religion, family, political shifts, hate, and fascism. What does it mean to live around a whole bunch of pretty good people whose voting patterns nonetheless...

The best jokes are rarely funny.
What is the role of comedy, if any, in highlighting political hypocrisy, immorality, and evil? Should political comedy aim to unsettle us rather than make us laugh? We attempt to answer these questions by discussing two people — Jon Stewart and Barack Obama — that made a lot of lefties feel good...

Talkin bout a Revolution
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. probably isn’t who you believe he was. And non-violence almost certainly isn’t what you think it is. We do something people almost never do when they talk about Dr. King. We read what he actually wrote. By listening to this episode, you’ll take a small but...

My Mom the Fascist
Demonstrating once again that identity politics is bankrupt, we introduce you to some media darling girl bosses for fascism. Meet some moms who may not be moms who want to turn their schools that might not be theirs into right-wing indoctrination camps. Naturally, this is a tale of hypocrisy, big...

Are you stressed about money?
The healthcare system in the United States is inhuman. And a scam. How do you approach the rational economic choice to continue living or not? We discuss this and a lot of other fucked up shit. As always, we try to stay sane while being continually battered with life’s absurd realities. Only a…
