So I got a message a few weeks ago from Stafford telling me about a book he's writing about the Transendence Movement and anarchism and it sounded great so I got him to go through my process and book an interview. The day that it came to talk to him I was a bit sick but I toughed it out and we made it through, had a great conversation, and happily promoted his book (which isn't quite finished but will be soon). I hope you enjoy this chat. In the intro I talk about the recent policy by the Saskatchewan government on pronouns and names in public schools. For more from me on that subject check out my substack article. https://open.substack.com/pub/theskepticalleftist/p/saskatchewans-new-policy-on-pronouns?r=iu0tj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Check out my new website for the full show notes https://www.skepticalleftist.com/ Make sure to follow Stafford on Twitter(X) https://twitter.com/TheChurchofTra1 You can rate and review the show here - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-mind-of-a-skeptical-leftis-1779751 You can support the show here - - https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/skepticallefty

Hey folks, welcome to a new interview on The Skeptical Leftist Podcast. I have another great interview for you this time around. I had a great conversation with Physicist Chris from the podcast A Dash of Science and we talked about crypto. I've long thought that crypto was a con that only served the rich and most of what I've seen has confirmed that. Chris spent our time chatting trying to convince me that I was wrong and I have to admit that I think he did a good job even if I wasn't totally convinced.

Hey everyone, welcome to another interview from The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. This is another old one from November but it was a good one. I talked to Scott J. Branson, author of the book Practical Anarchism: A guide for daily life. They are also part of the Final Straw podcast so make sure to check that out for more stuff from them. I know that there has been a lot said lately about Cop City and the Atlanta Forest Defenders and the tragic murder of the activist everyone affectionately calls Tort but this was streamed live on my Twitch channel so if you follow my stuff there you probably already knew about the fight to stop Cop City. Even so I’m way behind on the current news cycle and I definitely want to send love and solidarity to all of those fighting to stop cop city and my heart goes out to the family, friends, and comrades of Tort. I’ll put some links in the show notes for more information on how you can support the Atlanta Forest Defenders. https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/solidarity/ https://atlsolidarity.org/ I don’t have a good transition into the pitch but I still have to thank all my patrons, especially Justin who bumped up his pledge and Jared who is a new patron. Patrons make it possible for me to do this show and at the moment the money I get from patreon is helping to pay for all the services I use to produce the show.
