In the United States 1 out 3 young people are arrested at least once by age 23 - this could be as high as 41% research reveals. “Getting arrested is much more complicated than just showing up” Julio Briones tell us in Surviving Arrest: The Complete Guide. Julio hosts An Ounce of Prevention podcast, he is also a Personal Crisis Manager, Coach, and is the founder and CEO of AnswerMan Speciality Services. Julio has an inspirational story; he embodies the advice and life lessons he offers. On this episode we explore the potential crises that can result from being arrested and incarcerated. From initial contact with the criminal justice system, through to spending time behind bars, Julio tells us of the importance of having a plan and support systems in place. We also talk about life after incarceration, the issues that offenders face and how reintegration in the labour market could be made easier.
We also have a Pop-Culture Check-in with Paul. Just in time for halloween, this one is all about the horror genre. Find Paul Combs on Twitter: @combspaul

This week Matt chats with Kristaps Andrejsons, from the Eastern Border Podcast, about the Soviet Union’s mass athletics program. Sport is always political, by examining the intentions behind the program we learn about the socio-political and moralistic ideologies of the Soviet Union. Or, Matt just wanted to resurrect another undergrad paper!
We start off by getting to know Kristaps, why he started his podcast and find out what brand of imperialism he hates more! He also introduces us to a surprise guest, Uncle Gundars who was visiting from Mother Russia! Before jumping into the pre-Bolshevik sporting context, we hear Daughter of the Northern Wind from the Latvian symphonic/melodic/gothic/folk metal and rock band Oceanpath.
Kristaps kicks things off by describing life in Tsarist Russia, while Matt describes the limited athletics happening prior to WW1. 1917-20’s was an era of tumultuous upheaval in Russia with revolutions, civil war and non-stop Cake Parties. Despite this situation, what would become the Soviet Union established a trailblazing public health system (The GTO) that ‘encouraged’ athletic participation. Results were recorded, quantified and measured against the results of other groups as a way of formalizing, or manufacturing, the New Soviet Man (Homo Sovieticus).
This program became so ‘popular’ that professionalism and world-class finishes were attached to the model in the 1950’s (part 2) allowing the Soviets to dominate international competition for the next 4 decades; even being exported to the satellite states and emulated by the West to such an extent that “modern athletics” is very Soviet. We wrap up by hearing another track from Oceanpath, this one is aptly named The Puppet Show.
Thanks again to Kristaps from the Eastern Border Podcast for joining me in the deep dive, did you know he also fences?!? Thanks to Uncle Gundars for sharing your stories and to Oceanpath for the fiery tunes that went so well with these episodes. You can find Oceanpath: On Facebook @Oceanpath, Soundcloud, or their website.

On this episode, Phil sits down with Sean McGuire, the creator and host of the Share A Slice Podcast. In the first part, Sean tell us about his podcast, atheism and what it’s like talking with people from all walks of life. We get to hear a few of Sean’s stories about talking with the head of an UFO religion, sex workers, drag queens, and someone who prefers to pee and poop in her tent. Who are we to judge?! In the second part of our chat we dig into the notions of countercultures and subcultures and wonder if they hold revolutionary potential. Should everyone be involved in subcultural experiences? Maybe countercultures aren’t for everyone. Is the intention of counterculture to affect change, or simply to have a non-mainstream lifestyle? It’s an episode all about sharing stories and sharing a slice of life.
If you enjoyed our chat, make sure to subscribe, rate and review Sean’s podcast. Also, follow Share A Slice on Twitter @SlicesPodcast and on Facebook @ShareASlicePodcast and on Instagram @ShareASlicePodcast.

Matt sat down with disability advocate, educator, public speaker and podcaster Jahmeelah Gamble. If you like going down rabbit holes, this is the episode for you. We chatted about balancing conflicting cultural expectations in an educational context, accidently landing a TV show for 6 seasons and the ways Jahmeelah has endeavored to be a humanist rather than a knight in shining armor.
Matt shares a little confession, while Jahm talks about her brand. Spoiler: it’s intersectional-reflexive applied empathetic-humanism! Matt also gets Jahm to explain how and why she became such a strong education advocate and how advocacy extends well beyond the classroom to permeate all aspects of life.
As a public speaker, Jahmeelah shies away from intentionally trying to inspire while being mindful of the power in setting an example. Wrapping up the conversation, Matt explores how Jahm’s faith intersects with her speaking and advocacy. Jahm gives us an impassioned description of the struggles facing educational aid workers in Canada.
Jahmeelah’s message of empowerment and positivity is downright infectious, so be sure to check out the Slay the Mic Podcast. To witness the Connector of People, Ideas and Energy in action visit: https://www.msjam.ca/. Follow Slay The Mic on Twitter at: @slaythemicpod and Jahmeelah at: @Iamjamgamble. Go ahead and take a Gamble on yourself!

At times, our furry friends bring us joy, pleasure and happiness. Their company is valued, and they too are valued members of our homes. Other times, they bring us closer to understanding why not sweating the small stuff is an important life lesson. As humans we think we have the benefit of being intelligent and rational. But are we alone in that regard? From the social sciences, humanities and art comes an episode full of love for all species. We are joined by the creator of The Species Podcast, Macken Murphy, to discuss his show, his views on veganism, and the intersection of science and the animal kingdom. We are then joined by Tracy for our first round-table discussion. It gets heated as we discuss the merits of cloning, banning certain breeds of dogs, and which species make good house pets (Hint: It’s most definitely not polar bears!).
We thank Michael Harren, a Brooklyn-based composer and performer for letting us play his music on this episode. Michael combines elements of classical composition with experimental electronics and storytelling, to create hypnotic and boldly intimate work that walks the line between Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Dead Can Dance. He is also the host on The Mikey Pod. You can find that fine show at mikeypod.com/, and you can find Michael’s music at michaelharren.com. Check out his Facebook page @MichaelHarrenMusic and his Twitter @michaelharren
We included several promos on this episode. Please check out these great shows:

There comes a moment in time when the things that we could once do, the things that we did easily and without much effort, become more difficult. Maybe even impossible. It is in those moments that the reality of what chronic pain and illness can do to the body and mind becomes apparent. The experience of the first episode or attack is now interwoven into a web that has transformed our lives. This episode tells the stories of first encounters with what would become a chronic pain or illness. The act of remembering pain and illness, however, is not linear: the past becomes the present, and the future is a mixed bag of unknowns. Living in chronicity entails loathing time, but also cherishing it more than anything else. Like a stich, both time and our bodies have begun to unravel.
We thank everyone who lent their voice to make this episode:

Karen Duffy

Susan Reynolds
Donna Hume
Eric Mulford
And special thanks to Amy and Tracy who are good friends of the show and fellow podcast lovers.

On this episode we talk about teaching practices and the idea that social media has a place in the classroom. We discuss our views of pedagogy (the art, science, and even craft of teaching), classroom power and dynamics between educators and students, and the politics of education. Why aren’t educators turning to social media in the classroom? Can social media result in more classroom engagement, exposure to our social world, and, even, democratize the learning process? It’s ambitious. But is it totally out of the realm of the possible? We tend to think not.
For an example of some of the practical benefits, as well as the challenges, of using social media in the classroom see: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186%2Fs41239-017-0041-6.pdf
