Ask Dr. Expert

Juniper and Brendan are thrilled to have Sam Wagar on the show! We talk about community building, volunteerism, book writing, being a leader in the Pagan community, teaching, and good old activism. We then finish off with hopeful and wistful thoughts and questions on how Paganism and Wicca may keep growing and changing in the years to come.

Closing Segment

Bren plays with the squeaky chair and Juni keeps finding elastic bands everywhere. Then Brendan goes off on a tangent about tangents.

We can’t be serious about properly pronouncing Pagan words and we look forward to the upcoming Beltaine/Beltane/May Day/Whatever episode.

Then ramble for a while about disappointing and sensationalized documentaries and ask our listeners for suggestions of something worth watching.

We talk about hating cars and clothing.

Juni is reading on of Bren’s books for a book club and how weird is that?

We send some love to our sponsors.
