Zach - Breht's Brother - enters the shed for the first time to discuss his struggles with chronic depression. With these All Too Human interviews, we aim to highlight and destigmatize the mental health and addiction struggles of normal working people in hopes that we can provide insight into this type of human suffering, help others who struggle with similar things feel less alone, and deepen our understanding of the modern human condition.

Dave sits and waits for his turn to talk while Brett throws a hissy fit. I thought this show wasn't supposed to be a soap box for comunism. Dave's brain has pauses but if you wait long enough he can finish his thought. Luckily Brett has TOO much to say so there is no dead air. Anyway, enjoy this one. it's mid but UwU Bois are back. honesty guys this one is a snooze. you're not missing anything.  -kiss kiss, Julian   https://www.shoelessinsouthdakota.com

In this Christmas special episode, Alyson and Breht reinterpret Jesus through Jewish mysticism, Christian contemplative traditions, and Buddhist conceptions of Enlightenment, offering an understanding of his teachings and words as attempts to articulate the ineffable and non-dual, rather than metaphysical propositions to be believed. Drawing heavily on the Gospels, the Gospel of Thomas, the Christian concept of Agape, and early Christian scholarship, they explore the possibility of a Christianity beyond fear, hell, and conceptual belief -- one rooted in a radical transformation of consciousness, a revolutionary confrontation with injustice everywhere, and an embodied love for all creation.   Learn more at https://revleftradio.com/
