Bryne and JR. welcome Jessica Haas to discuss several recent events that illuminate the continuing problem of rape culture. We investigate the systemic elements of institutionalized misogyny, and question how we who are privileged can contribute meaningfully to a healthy culture of consent.
Bryne and JR. return from busy summers to dive into the conflict between Israel and Gaza. We explore the history of the region, what's at stake for both sides and land on a discussion of Just War. Is violence ever morally permissible? Is Pacifism an effective, realistic alternative to violence? How can we become peacemakers?
Origami Elephants celebrates the tension between beauty and certainty. Hosts Bryne Lewis and JR. Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room - the topics we either avoid or fight about. Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.
