  • 2024-12-18 - To EVERYBODY'S Health!
    Dec 18 2024
    Jonny and Heather start off the show by listening to a public statement made by local Carbondale City Councilwoman, Clare Killman, who has a proposal for Illinois to defend itself from federal assaults on bodily autonomy. They then compare the clarity and firmness of her response to Congressional Democrats who seem to lack a spine and are throwing LGB but particularly T under the bus. In the back half of the show they discuss access to healthcare and a revitalized interest in discussing predatory insurance companies. The lesson there is that the assalut on gender-affirming healthcare is really an assault on all of our healthcare.

  • 2024-12-11 - One Thing Affects Another
    Dec 11 2024
    Jonny and Hearher check in about their busy queer weekend . Less fun, the check in on how that Skrmetti case went in the Supreme Court last week. From that they pull a theme they explore in the back half of the show--how actions are connected and the world is a web of interconnections. While this can be daunting when phobias spread across those strands, it can also be hopeful when justice and resistence do too. With that in mind, the discuss anti trans laws in Alberta, Canada and the regime change in Syria alongside queers preparing for assaults on their marriages and a Ohio elementary school teacher sues her district for a disciplinary action based on homophobia.
