In the episode, we dive deeper into Porete and how she thinks you can align your soul with God and become free. We talk about what this means for political theology and what we think about it.

With the recent passing of Raoul Vaneigem, we're spending this episode talking about his book the Movement of the Free Spirit. It's a weird book about a heretical trend in medieval Christianity that pointed people toward freedom rather than repression. But, to be honest, it's a pretty mixed bag!

In a world where the IMF has said the entire stock of whales are worth 1 trillion dollars and biological offsets equivocate one threatened environment for another, Christianity can help us think of life as worthless and beyond value altogether.
We've got a new episode where we're talking about the valuation of life and how we can reframe the way we think about value altogether. To get there, we're chatting through a big philosophical idea about the valuation of life and ecology. In the episode we talk about Marika Rose's Theology for the End of the World, Phillippe Maia's Trading Future, and a bunch of other weird philosophy guys.

Hey Folks, we've got a classic episode for you this week, but next week we'll be back with some apocalyptic podcasting!
Something cool about having a podcast is that you can talk about whatever you'd like and no one can stop you. This week, we're doing just that. We've both gotten really interested in photography as a hobby and practice, so we're talking about Vilém Flusser's Toward a Philosophy of Photography and also some ideas about how it relates to the photographs of Mev Puleo, a photographer who was involved in liberation theology.
You can find Mev Puleo's book The Struggle is one here: https://archive.org/details/struggleisonevoi0000pule/mode/2up
