S2E5: allegedly, we're all doing rituals?! Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

With the holiday season approaching, we thought it’d be fitting to use “S2E5: allegedly, we’re all doing rituals?!” to interrogate all the societal rituals we all unknowingly participate in.

In this episode, we clarify exactly what makes a set of behaviors or actions ritual, and exactly what the role of rituals are on a societal and interpersonal level. Whether it’s a daily routine, Thanksgiving, or the “American Dream,” we perform rituals every day. Join us on today’s episode as we explore the hidden ritual work of this society and discuss how we can gain awareness of such in order to define our own rituals and empower ourselves.

S2E4: allegedly, life is but a dream?! Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

In “S2E4: allegedly, life is but a dream?!” we talk about something we all engage in for nearly a third of our lives: sleep! The place where we encounter our dreams and our imagination.

Western science, spiritual practitioners, and abolitionists have all come to varying and similar conclusions about the meaning and function of dreams and the imagination. In this episode, we attempt to synthesize it all, as we explore the dreamscape's existence as a place of refuge from reality.

This begs the question, are our dreams untouchable by our oppressors? What role does our imagination play in building a new world for ourselves and our society? How does the ability to dream affect our ability to process complex emotions and our collective social functioning? Join us on today’s episode as we delve into the topics of lucid dreaming, radical imagination, our personal and collective dreams for the future, and everything in between!

S2E3: allegedly, we must escape celebrity CULTure?! Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

In “S2E3: allegedly, we must escape celebrity CULTure?!” we talk about celebrity, how the celebrity is created, and what function they serve in our society and our everyday lives.

In a packed 40 minutes, we interrogate everything from stan culture, cancel culture, hyperreality, the Illuminati, and everything in between.

How are celebrities able to create and sustain the illusion of intimacy? What can we learn from celebrities as it pertains to the fight for liberation? How is the celebrity fascistic in nature? And what are the conditions that allow for stan culture to have such a stronghold in so many people? Stay tuned as we begin to unpack all these questions and more in today’s episode!

S2E2: allegedly, the playground is a prison?! Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

We know how much our adult selves are shaped by our childhood and in "S2E2: allegedly, the playground is a prison?!" we delve deeper into the early education experience. More specifically, we get into how our current US early education system serves as an indoctrination site for the State and examine the many ways in which it corrodes our connection with the world, ourselves, and each other.

From seemingly innocuous pretzel stick reward systems to Gifted and Talented programs, join us as we discuss all the ways in which the early education system has shaped us to become the ideal American subject.

In true allegedly?! fashion, we conclude by asking the question, “So, what now?” and look to revolutionary educator, Paulo Freire, for ways we can start addressing the long-lasting effects of our early educational experiences and start engaging in a truly liberatory education.

S2E1: allegedly, we're back?! Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

Hey y’all! We are so glad to be back! In our first episode of Season 2, we catch everyone up with a behind-the-scenes look at everything that’s been going on while we were away, both the good and the bad!

Since we last talked at the end of last season, so much has happened! We have watched our podcast grow rapidly, been censored & attacked on the internet, navigated major relationship fractures, sold handmade allegedly?! merch, and soo much more! Ultimately, the last few months have been filled with so much growth, hard work, passion, and reflection, and in this episode, we talk about it all with y’all! Keeping it 100% real… as always!

We end the episode with a sneak peek look at all the fun topics we have planned for the season ahead. As always, we are so grateful for all of you. Happy listening!

S1E14: allegedly, we're keepin' it real?! vol. 2 May 13, 2021

Show notes

In S1E14 of allegedly?!, we run back the realness of this season. Like our last “keepin’ it real” episode, we dive into a fun conversation about life, ourselves, the experiences we’ve been having, and the lessons we’ve been learning.

As we chat about the lessons we’ve learned throughout this past life cycle (ty Scorpio Full Moon), we dive into the behaviors and aspects of ourselves that stem from our childhood experiences and the realizations we’ve come to from doing that inner-child work. Beyond that, we get into our feelings about the continuous journey of self-improvement, growth, healing, the ‘good’ sides, and the potentially ‘bad’ sides!

In pretty perfect timing for the Taurus New Moon a couple of days ago, we end the conversation touching on radical self-love, what it means, and ways to practice self-love and care! We hope y’all enjoy the conversation!

S1E13: allegedly, money... is a mindset?! May 06, 2021

Show notes

In S1E13 of allegedly?!, we talk about moneyyyy! *cha ching* During today’s episode, we unpack what it means to have a healthy relationship with money, as well as cultivate a mindset of abundance. We talk about how our society shapes our relationship with money and as a result, the importance of cultivating your own independent thought.

We explore how the labels of “rich” and “poor” affect how all of us navigate our society’s socioeconomic landscape, like how we relate to others, what we invest our energies into, and how we think about ourselves. Furthermore, how does being anti-capitalist shape the way we interact with money? Tap into the conversation!

S1E12: allegedly, monogamy isn't it?! Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

In S1E12 of allegedly?!, we talk about relationships. Specifically, romantic versus platonic ones. In one of our recent viral TikToks, we asked thought-provoking questions on what actual distinction exists between romantic and platonic relationships. This TikTok started some pretty remarkable dialogue, and we created this episode to really dive in. We all know our society puts an emphasis on romantic relationships. We discuss exactly why that is, and more importantly, question if this societal norm is something that we want to subscribe to as we navigate the relationships in our life. Is this prioritization of romantic relationships something organic to our nature as human beings? Is it a pervasive social norm that has just been force-fed to us since we were children? Join us as we touch on a bunch of topics related to relationships, ranging from energy exchanges to shared value systems!
