Episode 211 – Amanda Marcotte
This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2016 and features political journalist Amanda Marcotte. Much as we did a couple weeks ago with C.

While the episode was recorded before the National Conventions, our conversation is just as relevant today as it was […]
Episode 210 – Laughing at the Darkness
This week we present the first of two episodes recorded live at CONvergence 2016!

In addition to that important topic, a lot of time is spent reminiscing about how much time Tim and Kelly […]
Episode 209 – Brexit and Trump
This week we talk with our friend C. Robert Cargill. Cargill is a novelist (Dreams and Shadows) and screenwriter (Sinister, Dr. Strange) but we talked to him about politics. Cargill is a Christian and a moderate conservative so he provides a considerably different viewpoint from one normally found on our podcast. We spend some time looking at […]
Episode 207 – Safe Spaces and CONvergence

Episode 158 – Goodbye Buffalo
For our second episode recorded live at CONvergence, we sat down with our good friend Rebecca Watson to talk about her move from Buffalo to San Francisco.

Episode 154 – CONvergence 2015
