One Man & One Woman

4 Episodes

Avg Length 36m

Latest episode 5 days ago

Welcome to One Man, One Woman, the Podcast. This is a safe space to speak about any topic from the male & female point of view. It is important that we have tough conversations without emotions getting out of control. The goal is to explore all subject matter without fear of judgment or ridicule. We live in a time where communication between people lacks consideration and understanding. Our hope is to show the world that men and women actually speak the same language. We are more than capable of respecting each other’s opinion even when we don’t agree. No matter the kind of ship: friendship, familyship, relationship etc., we can listen to understand and agree to disagree. Most importantly we can laugh, love and have fun, all while being on opposite ends of the spectrum regarding any topic. This is a place to learn how to trust, be vulnerable, open and honest. We’re glad you’re here to share this space with us.

Latest episode 2 days ago

Dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon.As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse, and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia.Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it.
