In the spirit of Halloween (and existentialism), we discuss apocalypse and urban collapse this week! Contrary to the doom and gloom we typically associate images of the post-human world with, the word “apocalypse” has roots in both change and revolution. We explore how capital and religion have utilized power and fear to morph its’ modern connotations. And what of urban collapse, you ask? Think of cities like Chicago, New York, Tokyo - all of these seem like behemoths of construction that will long outlast us. Funnily enough, if we humans were to disappear today, nature has an entirely different plan. Our anthropological footprint will remain on the earth in various forms, but how fast could nature begin to reclaim a city like NYC if we humans just evaporated? While seemingly indestructible, this heavy-ass concrete jungle is more fragile than you could believe. In typical O.o.E fashion, we seek to find ways to center community and belonging as mobilizing forces in the face of catastrophe and collapse with, of course, some nonsensical digressions.

Wounded and longing or cunning and cruel, which kind of wolf lives inside of you? Welcome to the second installment of our Halloween series in which we explore the history of lycanthropy and werewolves! If this series has revealed anything thus far, it’s that our perceptions of the “otherworldly” or “alien” are often reflective of how we perceive the world. Turns out, werewolves are no exception. Join us as we find out what kind of wolves we are, talk about religion (again and again), and expand our ideas of how limitless identity can be through the exploration of otherkin and therian identities.

Inspired by the tomfoolery happening in American politics, we seek to explore the interconnections between society, ecology, queerness, and …. extraterrestrials? Heads up, we get existential as hell in this episode. Are aliens inherently queer or are queer people inherently alien? What are the odds of us having had contact with extraterrestrial life? What do our theories about extraterrestrial life say about our relationship to our environments and gender? Regardless of the answers to any of these questions, we’re really just out here blasting Gabbie Hanna into the void of space via the Golden Record. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you enjoy it as well :)

Feeling hungry? Join us (and a special guest 😀) as we discuss food systems, community gardens, and the commons! Why do so many of us not know where our foods come from and who is the culprit behind this? Our government and its legislation often fall short in addressing the root of the problems regarding the unequal distribution of resources. The narrative is often that we, as individuals and local communities, have little power in combating this, but is that actually the case? Together, we explore the power of community and culture in creating regenerative, equitable, and accessible community food systems.

What happens when divination and inebriation come together to maximize their joint slay? A long history of evolution, spiritual connection, and psychedelic enemas. Join us as we explore how derivatives of “vice crops”, alcohol and psychedelics, have been revered and celebrated by different communities since before the rise of agriculture. We explore how systems of power have morphed human relationships with substance use, and about how we can create space for queer identity formation both with and without it. Some digressions include Over the Hedge, messiness, and too many brat references.

Ecofeminism meets psychology! Making breakfast, going to the grocery store, choosing your favorite deodorant - these are all small-scale examples of bodily autonomy. What does bodily autonomy look like on a large scale? What are the implications of history on our modern ideas of anatomy? Ashton breaks down the historical and medical aspects of bodily autonomy, while touching on how it’s being threatened by systems of patriarchy and white supremacy today. Cricket continues the theme of the episode by discussing anesthesia for …. trees (but definitely not for people getting IUDs)? They explore what plant behaviors could say about plant consciousness, as well as what plant consciousness means for our interactions with the more than human world. This episode is dense and changed the way we think about bodily autonomy and consciousness - we hope it’s as engaging and exciting for you to engage with as it was for us to record.
