Casey Probus — Why Not Me? (Episode 124) May 19, 2022
Show notes

Casey Probus and Lisa Ferraro Act Locally

Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée have recently been reminding listeners of the growing importance of local politics. Wendy takes a deep dive into her local political landscape in this episode by way of an interview with candidates Casey Probus and Lisa Ferraro:

Casey Probus was born and raised in Rahway, NJ, where she lives with her daughter who attends a Rahway Elementary School. Casey attended Rahway public schools where she was a part of the 2003 State Championship Girls Basketball team. She currently works as a union mechanic and crane operator and is the first union employee chosen to lead an Employee Resource Group. Casey graduated Summa Cum Laude from Florida A & M University and has an associates degree from Tallahassee Community College.

Running for council at-large on the Casey Probus for Mayor team, Lisa Ferarro is a Past President of Indivisible Rahway and owner of Sonic Bliss Yoga as a local yoga and wellness instructor. Lisa graduated from Westminster Choir College with a B.A. in Music and is a proud union member of the Actors’ Equity Association. She has lived in Rahway for 10 years with her husband and daughter.

Also in this episode, Robin and Wendy celebrate four years of The Leftscape! They look back at the show as a whole and highlight favorite episodes from the season of Freedom. In The Artscape, Robin interviews Wendy about her current creative works, challenges, and inspirations. The day’s 3 Random Facts bring levity with a ridiculous California law, a popular “Native American” poem which turns out to be fakelore, and some TMI about koala genitalia. There are even pictures! The News is much more sobering. The primary topics are the leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Saturday’s protests in Washington, DC and in many cities across the US, and the mass shooting in Buffalo, NY.

The Leftscape will be on spring/summer break until July 13th. Until then, there will be some redux episodes for you to enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Susan Billmaier — Better and Better Together (Episode 123) May 04, 2022
Show notes

Susan Billmaier’s professional background is in Religion, Ethics, and Philosophy applied to higher education and non-profit management. This coincides with a lifetime of self-education in healing arts, religious ritual, and psychological study of the “big questions” like “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” Her website, WithPearls.com, focuses on shifting humanity from a consciousness of separation to a consciousness of Oneness. In this interview, Susan speaks about living and working with deep intention around spirituality and the betterment of community, discerning true seeking from spiritual bypass and cultural appropriation, the practices she has come to rely on to uncover “natural divinity,” and the essence of moksha, or freedom from ego.

In the Ikigai segment, co-hosts Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan continue the exploration of the Japanese concept and way of being through a discussion on the second pillar of Ikigai, releasing yourself. They start off the show with a check-in followed by 3 Random Facts about fish and gender, flamingoes, and the late Olympic swimmer, Greg Buckingham. The News was recorded before the leak revealing the US Supreme Court’s document signaling the end of Roe v. Wade. So topics include black bears in New Jersey, shifting reports and perpetual misinformation about COVID-19, a second Amazon facility voting on unionizing in Staten Island, hunger and mass displacement in the Horn of Africa, and the January 6 Committee’s examination of text messages by Congress members and others in regard to the insurrection at the Capitol. In You Got Questions? We Got Answers!, Wendy and Robin chat about amusement park favorites.

Malcolm Underwood — Happy 420! Weed or Kink? (Episode 122) Apr 20, 2022
Show notes

This episode is a bit… different. Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée are celebrating 4/20, so aside from the pre-recorded interview, the banter is a bit loosey-goosey. Join in on the fun in whatever way you choose!

Featured guest Malcolm Underwood describes himself as “born in the south, forged in the north and sharpened by the road and the world.” He is doing what he can to help make his little corner a safer place for everyone. One of his dwelling places is in the world of BDSM (bondage and domination, sadism and masochism). BDSM is often misunderstood and is frequently seen only through a scope of toxic sexuality. Malcolm has a lot of information to share about healthy BDSM as a category of exploration. Unlike the myths many have heard, it offers a place were people can come to find freedom of expression unlike anything available in day-to-day life. Listen and learn from this informative, grounded conversation.

Earlier in the show, the 3 Random Facts segment morphs into 3 Weed Facts and the News is definitely News Lite. The Geekscape slides into The Blanket Fort. Later in You Got Questions? We Got Answers! Robin and Wendy tackle 420-friendly topics such as “Is cereal soup?” and “Isn’t a hot dog just an American taco?”

Things to do:

Follow Malcolm Underwood on Twitter and on Instagram.

Check out FetLife and scope out a local munch.

David S. Schwartz — Where’s the Freedom? (Episode 121) Apr 06, 2022
Show notes

A Primer on Freedom in the Constitution and Beyond With David S. Schwartz

Professor David S. Schwartz first appeared on The Leftscape back on Episode 65 to talk about his then new book, The Spirit of The Constitution: John Marshall and the 200-Year Odyssey of McCulloch v. Maryland published by Oxford University Press in 2019. He teaches and writes in the areas of Constitutional Law, Evidence, and Civil Procedure. His scholarship includes articles published in the Georgetown, Notre Dame, and University of Pennsylvania Law Reviews, and he has co-authored two casebooks. In this episode, he speaks with co-host Wendy Sheridan (who happens to be his sister) about which freedoms are specifically guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, how those came to be interpreted from the founding documents, and what we can do as individuals to ensure these freedoms aren’t taken away. They discuss some of the more troubling legal developments like “Don’t Say Gay” in Florida and the anti-abortion law in Texas. “Not every stupid law is unconstitutional, unfortunately,” he says.

After a check-in at the beginning of the show, Wendy and Robin Renée offer up 3 Random Facts, this time involving early 2000s cartoon Ozzy & Drix, The Festival of the Steel Phallus, and the origin of Christmas ham. In News, the latest from the war in Ukraine has been incredibly disturbing. On positive notes, Amazon workers unionize in New York, Ketanji Brown Jackson makes progress toward her seat on the Supreme Court, Jon Batiste wins five Grammys and has recently married, and the EU is calling for an end to fast fashion by 2030, according to Squirrel News. In The Blanket Fort, Robin and Wendy reflect on their current actions and emotions relating to the pandemic. At the end of the show, they answer the question, “Have you been told you look like someone famous and if so, who was it?”

Peter Gil-Sheridan — Big Questions on Doing Something (Episode 119) Mar 09, 2022
Show notes

Peter Gil-Sheridan on His New Comedy, This Space Between Us

Peter Gil-Sheridan is a playwright and a professor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Peter was a founding member of The Pool, a pop-up theatre company formed with Lynn Rosen and Susan Bernfield and he is a regular writer-in-residence with the Silverton Theatre Mine in Silverton, CO. His new play, This Space Between Us, is running off-Broadway, produced by Keen Company, at Theater Row on 42nd Street. Wendy Sheridan speaks with him about this new comedy, which explores the expanse of cultural and political differences within a family as one member decides to head to Africa for a cause. Some questions the play evokes are: “How can we drop our complacency and get active?” “How much giving is enough?” “What does freedom look like for each of us and what does it cost us?”

In The Artscape, Wendy asks Robin Renée about hir latest creative endeavors; there are new songs in the works and an anxiety-producing technological learning curve to bring them into fruition. Earlier in 3 Random Facts, Robin and Wendy share some trivia about the invention of glitter, the origin of the term “salad days,” and why a certain jar of Vegemite in New South Wales is so special. The News gets to serious issues including closing arguments in the trial of January 6th defendant, Guy Reffitt (The day after recording Reffitt was found guilty on all charges), Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and others’ application to join the European Union (there are complications), resistance against the new, terrible anti-trans law in Texas, a statewide student walkout in Florida against the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and a campaign in the UK introducing guidelines for individuals to help combat global warming with lifestyle changes. In other, stranger news, the “killing stone” in Japan has split in two. Has the spirit of an evil nine-tailed fox been unleashed? At the end of the show, Wendy and Robin take on a listener question, “What book scared you when you read it?”

Halina Brooke — Navigating Pay-to-Play Politics (Episode 118) Feb 23, 2022
Show notes

Halina Brooke practices as a therapist in the Phoenix area and can often be found doing advocacy for clients and the therapy professions with like-minded comrades, sometimes while crafting. As a counselor and advocate, she has a passion for supporting clients and clinicians alike in moving past relational ruptures and distressing experiences. We spoke with Halina about a year ago on Episode 97, “Therapy, Activism, and Reclaiming Freedom.” This time she’s back to approach freedom from another angle: How free are we to work within our governmental systems to get bills passed in our legislatures?

In the Ikigai segment, co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée review the five pillars of the Japanese concept according to scientist and author Ken Mogi and focus in on trying to grasp the first principle, “starting small.” This episode’s Three Random Facts involve creativity in the shower, guinea pigs in Switzerland, and glitter in the Garden State. In the News: the Credit Suisse banking leak reveals clients’ serious crimes, Russian aggression toward Ukraine, historians, architects and other specialists in Brussels gather to work on how to decolonize public spaces (including dealing with a statue of the brutal King Leopold II), a woman is cured of HIV, and a wrong word spoken by a priest during baptisms causes a quandary for many. In You Got Questions? We Got Answers!, Robin and Wendy muse over favorite colors.
