Against Everyone with Conner Habib

I talk religion, gods, and initiation with my friend; the priestess of the Church Of The Living Christ, Order Of Melchizedek, Diana Young-Peak.

I talk with journalist Caelainn Hogan, author of Republic Of Shame, about the mother-baby-homes in Ireland, the mass graves of children that died in them, and what to do with complex issues of oppression and power.

I talk with legendary writer and intellectual Maggie Nelson about...well, everything. But especially art and violence, compassion and algorithms, aging and desire. It's a wide-ranging and profound conversation.

I talk about the bad (mostly online) politics of the last decade and why we don't need them anymore. This is part of a three part series of me talking 2019/2020 - the first of which appears on The Duncan Trusell Family Hour, the third appears on Rune Soup!

I talk with dark young adult and fantasy writer Sarah Maria Griffin about magic, the paranormal, violence in art, and a WHOLE LOT of David Lynch.

A solo ep inspired by Lynn Margulis (from AEWCH 91) and philosopher Michel Serres, in which I look at scientific theories of the origins of sex and what they can tell us about ourselves today!

Lynn Margulis - geoscientist and biologist - was the most important thinker of the past 50 years. In this, the last recorded conversation with her before her death in 2011, we talk about symbiosis, Gaia, and why other biologists have such a hard time understanding evolution. I also give a lengthy intro to Lynn's work.

I talk with musician, TED Talker, Dresden Doll, and activist, Amanda Palmer about interconnectedness, memory, dissonance, and compassion.

Philosopher Brian O'Connor challenges societal norms around constant self-improvement, advocating for idleness. The discussion explores the link between idleness, freedom, and satisfaction in work. They analyze Adorno's negative method, critique transactional culture, and question modern work culture. The podcast navigates complex philosophical perspectives on idleness, boredom, and societal expectations.

In my first ep with another gay performer, I talk with one-time scene partner Johnny Hazzard! We present a picture of our era in "the industry," with all of its benefits and pitfalls.
