In the latest broadcast of Waste Radio, Waste correspondents Eric Toennis and Chris Tsekouras journey to the heart of the witch's lair for a very special episode. On a farm outside Tillamook, OR they sit down with herbal artist Laura Sanders of Rogue Witch Apothecary and visual artist Sara Dread to talk about witchcraft, paganism, magic, and what it means for them to be witches in their daily lives. They even do a tarot card reading!

In the first official episode of Philthy Talk (and the opening of Waste Radio!), Phil has musician, entrepreneur, jiu jitzu student, and conversationalist Drew McMannus over to talk about a bunch of shit, including climate change, The Hussle, discipline, revolution, and Drew's band Satsang. Check out their new record Kulture wherever you get music!

We have renamed our book club feed in the spirit of providing an open platform much like our website, to which people can submit work and “try out” podcast ideas without going thru the rigamarole of setting up their own channel. We are thinking of it as a sort of incubator for eggs like Philthy Talk. If you have an idea for a podcast, send a pilot to admin@waste-division.org! And be on the lookout for more stuff from Waste Radio every Wednesday.

In this episode Waste correspondent Phil Griffin had Don Corcoran over for a long conversation about addiction, pleasure, family, fundamentalism, and dying, among many other topics. Don has a progressive form of blood cancer and was leaving for a possible cure treatment just days after this recording, and yet he still made time to tell his story & talk.

Join us this month as we discuss Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jethá nonfiction book about prehistoric human sexuality, Sex at Dawn!

Overview

If you're looking for a comfortable read, you're likely not going to find it here. The authors of this book pull no punches as they undertake a big task: undermining what they call the "standard narrative of human sexuality," which they see as potentially very harmful to humans given how we likely evolved and behaved for hundreds of thousands of years. 

Waste Correspondent Phillip Griffin had computer nerd, entrepreneur, and all-around badass Jeff Jones over for homemade kombucha and kimchi and a big conversation! Topic areas include capitalism, the tech industry, life in LA, and how fucked we all are. Get in on this wide-ranging conversation with a guy who seems to know wtf he's doing! He's pretty cool despite being a filthy capitalist. Also check out his radio-phone company at beartooth.com!

Waste Correspondents Mary Kate Teske and Phil Griffin hang out with Billings, MT visual artist  Natalie Myers for a meandering conversation about work, being a parent, living in your hometown, and hair care.

Episode 13

Cooper Malin tries his hand at being "professional" and a "storyteller." It totally "worked" and wasn't a "weird exploration into ASMR."

Waste Correspondent Cooper Malin had some brewskis with his old friend Broquel to talk about books and other stuff they've been thinking about. Topics include Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, separating the art from the artist, John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, and FUPAs.
