Embrace The Void

Embrace The Void

Embrace The Void

Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

Embrace The Void - EV-027 The Philosophy of Starship Troopers'
play

01/24/18 • 44 min

Today in the void we take a deep dive into the movie Starship Troopers', with some comparisons to the book. This isn't your typical movie review. We examine what the somewhat satirical story says about our politics, how we perceive war and conflict, and how the world would be clearly better with women in charge.

Embrace The Void - EV-019 I'm Not Toxic, You're Toxic! with Thomas Smith
play

10/25/17 • 67 min

This time around we examine toxic masculinity with Thomas Smith of such podcasts as Serious Inquiries Only. We explore the differences between biological distinctions from gender norms, the roles it can negatively impact young boys, how we can fight against it, and probably the most socially obvious manifestations in sports including MMA.

We don't have a hero of the week because it was either cut that or remove roughly 10 minutes from the main segment, and we opted for the very engaging conversation about toxic masculinity.
