Hey everybody! We’re doing another repost episode (also, sorry there wasn’t an episode last week!) because, frankly, life can be busy and overwhelming and we just moved into a new place. Still unpacking and buying furniture etc, etc. Hope you guys enjoy this episode the second time around! Thanks so much for sticking with us!

Hey y’all! So this week, Peaches and I are moving into a new place together! Our very own pod loft! As a result we didn’t have the time to record a new episode so we’re reposting our very first episode again. We hope you all enjoy it the second time around as much as the first time around! Sorry it’s coming so late, no petty lies here, but I work third and totally slept all day until my work alarm went off and I’m typing this up in a panic in the break room in the hospital pharmacy, lol. Please and enjoy and feel free to contact us via email at theferalphilosophers@gmail.com!

Hey hi hello, errybody! We’re in for another fun interview! This time with our LGBTQIA+ ally, Alyssa! We chit chat about her life experiences growing up, her struggles with her femininity and womanhood, our favorite oldies and earliest celebrity crushes, and the inherently similar experiences she’s had as a 6’5" woman with strong features that run parallel to some aspects of the trans experience. We chose to speak to Alyssa about her life experience and her immersion into the queer community as a straight woman in order to connect the two communities where they often seem like separate entities. Our experiences and traumas are unique but often run parallel to each other and Alyssa’s experiences exemplify that. She’s a beautiful, down-to-Earth soul and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Hey hi hello, frands and fam! Sorry sorry sorry this episode is late! Technical difficulties are a bitch. But fear not! This one may be a doozy but it’s gunna be a good doozy. In this episode, Peaches and I discuss the Big Bad Climate Change! But that’s not all! We also talk about the nature of time and whether it’s a human concept or exists independent of consciousness. Yeah, I know, how is that related to climate change? It’s not! Who cares?? It was still a fun conversation that we hope all of you out there enjoy. This episode is a bit on the longer side but there was so much information to cover that we couldn’t do it any other way. Rather than splitting it into two episodes, we’re giving this longer format a try. Let us know what you think! We sincerely hope you enjoy this episode and all it’s ups and downs (don’t worry, we get into a bit of a tiff towards the end but we still love each other forever and for always).

In this episode, part one of a two-parter, Peaches and I begin to discuss a variety of -isms: capitalism, socialism, and communism to start! And that’s not all! In this episode, we have very special guest, our good friend Mike O’Brien (no relation to Chief O’Brien from Star Trek, although I’m sure he wishes that was the case - too bad so sad, Mike!). We go over the ins and outs of these three -isms as a means to clear the air over what it really means to be called a commie or a socialist.  We sincerely hope you enjoy this episode!

Hello, fellow feral philosophers! Peaches here! Today we are talking about some of the obsessions I have involving humanity’s past and how we may be overlooking a few thousand years of crucial history. Maybe we aren’t giving our 12,000 year old ancestors enough credit in  the generally accepted model of human history. Let us know what you think!  Below are some resources referenced in this episode. SPOILER! The first link provides some information that we left out, about how we first realized the North American Continent was inhabited by Homo Sapiens far longer than previously assumed. The second is a wonderful seminar conducted by Graham Hancock who provides most of the inspiration for my analysis on this topic  Jacques Cinq-Mars discovery  https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dna-search-first-americans-links-amazon-indigenous-australians-180955976/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Bluefish_Caves Graham Hancock “America Before” The key to Earth’s lost civilization https://youtu.be/GAccZ8eWhXo Klaus Schmidt  https://youtu.be/a2CDa5zRQR0 Australasian DNA https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dna-search-first-americans-links-amazon-indigenous-australians-180955976/ Don’t forget to follow us on social media!
