ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
What does love mean in these divisive times? Can democracy be inclusive? Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy? How can pleasure be political? Do Catholics still not eat meat on Fridays...in this economy? Is Truth ultimately just contextual? As a new-comer Unitarian Universalist and an old-hand queer pro-liberation activist, I have a lot of questions, and I like to talk my problems, questions, and ideas out LOUD. Come along with me as I explore topics of spirituality, ethics, social justice, and religion with the skepticism and humbleness of a beginner and the depth and complexity of a hyper-fixated nerd. Tune in for one queer UU Midwesterner’s journey from plain ol’ Ro to in-the-know, with laughs, stories, and joy along the way!
