S2E10: A Very Anarchodox Halloween Special, ft. John Watson

Why, hello, boils and ghouls! This week on the show, Bill takes us on a little walk through the history and cultural roots of the Autumnal Triduum: All Hallows Eve, All Hallows, and All Souls Days! We invited John on as well to offer their pagan insights into the matter, and also to launch our new podcast, Fox in the Hell House! It's an X-files rewatch podcast, with a focus on conspiratorial thinking and stigmatized knowledge, which matches up nicely to the spiritual season. Come, join us in this very spooooooooky special!

S2E3-- Living in a World of Bullshit, feat. Billie Hoard

It is everywhere, and it's dangerous. Bullshit is the primary language of our fascist regime, and so we need to know what it is, how it works, who uses it and why. To do that, we brought our friend Billie Hoard onto the show, whose newest project is exploring the dynamics and mechanics of bullshit in our modern communication landscape. Join us for an excellent and earnest discussion on bullshit, because somebody's got to talk about it and it might as well be us.

Ep 28-- Eastern Orthodoxy, Anarchism, and You! ft. Kevin Mellis

Welp, we finally did it. We managed to bring everything full circle, and brought on an Eastern Orthodox theologian to do it! Today our guest is Kevin Mellis (she/they), an independent scholar, Eastern Orthodox anarchist, tabletop games aficionado, and old friend of both Bill and Mae. We go into how fiction, family, and life experience form us as anarchists, and go back into how to address the difficult issue of authority in the church within institutional contexts. Oh, and we talk about Warhammer 40k a bit, for good measure.

This is going to be our season finale! Next week or two, depending on the state of things, we'll be taking a short hiatus so that Mae can do her doctoral dissertation defense. But fear not! We shall return, with an all new season of that great Anarchodox flavor you all crave so eagerly!

Ep 24-- Calibrate Your Enthusiasm: The Andor Retrospective Special, pt. 1

This week on Anarchodox, we are doing another special. John Watson has returned for a long, thoughtful and introspective episode in which we discuss our love, critiques, and philosophical quandaries with the TV show Andor. Spoiler warning for the 2 seasons in total--if you haven't watched it, go have a great couple of weeks bingeing, then come back to this episode. Additionally, this will not be the last time we do an Andor episode--stay tuned for when we have John back for a decidedly necessary part two, date TBD. In the mean time, enjoy us nerding out for 2 hours over a show about spies, revolutionaries, thieves, and hope.

Ep 22-- Special: Magisterial Protestant Anarchism, or the Union of Total Depravity Amongst Anarchists

Well, well, well, looks like we have another guest for the summer party! This time, Bill brings on Viktor Korpi Kardell, aka the AnarchoTolkienist, for a fascinating conversation about faith, anarchism, and the details of Calvinism that transfix and vex in equal measure. Viktor is a Highland Presbyterian anarchist, a Gaelic language activist, a translator, and a founding member of the Glasgow Christian Anarchist Group. We talk about how he came into the strange faith of Christian Anarchy, the finer points of Total Depravity, the Image of God, and the utter beauty of metrical psalmody.


A link to the track that introduces this episode, a traditional Gaelic setting of Psalm 72:https://open.spotify.com/track/6nyCLG2GhvRPWbKCrT33Xj?context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A1TczRb3OagrjKYN7q9vWfC

Ep. 20-- Special: (Eu)contamination Warning! feat. Billie Hoard

This week on Anarchodox, we have another special guest: Billie Hoard! Billie is a teacher, an anarchist, a mennonite, and a theologian who has a curious and fascinating focus: the psychology and theology of disgust. She joins us on the podcast to talk about her upcoming book about the psychology of fascism and how it's animating disgust can be fought with a counter-virus, the eucontaminative power of Jesus. She also talks to us about her perspective on anarchism, the joy of queerness, and the power that we wield fighting fascism with the love of Christ.
