Conspirituality
Derek Beres, Matthew Remski, Julian WalkerDismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse, and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their f... more

- Used to be a must listen
I used to be so excited for new episodes of this pod to drop. Now, not so much. The sidebars they have to take between themselves are kind of exhausting sometimes and makes me wish they’d just do off mic and come back with more concise moments. Their political differences used to feel interesting and now just feel like albatrosses dragging entire episodes on endlessly. Don’t know if I’ll keep listening.

Listened to an older show where you brutalized Joe D. You bring up valid points, but it’s also very clear that you haven’t read the book. You criticize him, his views, his guests, his hosts… meanwhile, have you considered how much… rather how little training “doctors”, which is to say… drug pushers, how little knowledge they possess with respects to psychology? Or any other forms of practice that help people actually feel better? No you clowns just put people down you don’t agree with.

Bro you are nailing it lately. I don’t know how you churn out so much excellent and nuanced content. I’m an academic fairly versed in the big theoretical issues you address but I learn something new - or a new way of articulating something old - every time I listen. Thank you.
Apple Podcasts5-racer-United Statesa month ago - What has this show become?
It’s really hard to do this review after almost two years of listening. I got put onto the show in part due to Matt Bernstein featuring Derrick on his show. I genuinely think this show is overall a net-good. A lot of good discussion about politics moment were in, and the ideology of crazy wellness people and right wing peeps.
However, I’ve become disillusioned over the past year with how especially two of the hosts have been treating the political moment we are in, and that’s prevalent in how t... more
Apple Podcasts2TigerSC01United States2 months ago - lol ronan farrow founded the Me Too movement
love the podcast mostly, but just have to point out that three white dudes referring to Ronan Farrow as « the reporter who launched the Me Too movement » is a pretty wild retelling of history, not to mention a bold erasure of the two female reporters whose concurrent reporting can also be said to have « launched the Me Too movement, » not to mention Tarana Burke, the Black woman to whom the #MeToo hashtag is credited, or the thousands of women whose stories fueled the movement. i mean, wow. i re... more
