Bonus Ep. 32: Orange Marches of the Woke Progressives


CJ recently recorded this DHP Bonus Episode during one of his long drives that he’s been doing as part of some of the non-DHP-related work he’s been doing lately to make ends meet, and he decided to share it with “gen-pop” — ie, freeloading, non-supporting listeners 😉 — on the public DHP feed for a limited time, too.

Join CJ as he discusses so-called “Orange Marches” in the context of Irish history, and how Woke Progressives’ appropriation, deconstruction & vandalization of beloved fictional universes & characters in recent years is in some ways analogous to these marches.

Ep. 0245: What Shall We Ask of Actors? (w/Clifton Duncan)

For this episode, CJ was delighted to be joined by classically trained, award-winning actor Clifton Duncan.

Join CJ & Clifton as they discuss Clifton’s career, why he got disillusioned with & ultimately left Broadway, why show business is so ideologically straightjacketed, the state of the arts & entertainment industries today, why arts & entertainment matter deeply to society, possible “white pills” on the horizon, & lastly, some tips for people considering an acting career (or the parents of such people.)

Ep. 0230: Florida Man on Florida

Because he just moved (and it’ll be a little while before the new home studio/office/Batcave is fully operational), CJ decided to record a Silver Bullet Episode (ie, one recorded during his commute to his teaching dayjob) to elaborate a bit more on some of the highlights, history, & culture of Florida in the wake of his recent appearance on the Tom Woods Show.  In this episode he digs more into the Sunshine State, including some literary, artistic, cultural, and cuisine recommendations that anyone might appreciate, whether they’re already a Floridian, considering becoming one, or even if they’re just going to visit the state on vacation. (Or even if you just like finding new art, literature, cuisine, etc.) Enjoy!

BTW, below is the first flag of Florida from when it became a US state in 1845 (I’m not joking – it was never officially adopted for some technical reason but was flown at the first FL state governor’s inauguration):

Ep. 0214: A Civil-Religious Civil War?

Is the USA currently in the early stages of sectarian conflict over its civil religion?

In this episode of the DHP, CJ rebroadcasts his 2016 Election Special on America’s Civil Religion (in order to review the concept of civil religion & its manifestation in the United States); this is followed by new material, reflecting on how CJ’s understanding of the American civil religion has changed somewhat since 2016. He then goes on to compare and contrast the current political conflicts in the US to the Protestant Reformation in 16th and 17th century Europe, as well as the pietist-vs-liturgical split in American Christianity in the 19th century, before wrapping up with some humble observations and suggestions for people who are (like CJ) nonbelievers in any civil religion & who want to weather the current conflicts as best they can.
