In this episode of Brainstorm's Skeptic Studio Cory talks to Felicia Entwistle. Felicia is a co-host on the Utah Outcasts podcast and Youtube show.  She has moved closer and closer to socialism and communism over time until a little while ago she openly identified herself as a communist. This conversation is about that transformation and some of the ideas that she accepts because of it.

For Patrons there is an extra 30 minutes on the topic of sex work.

Only 2 and a half years late, this interview with Callie Wright for the Hardcore Skeptic series on social justice is still as relevant and worth publishing as it ever was.

Kavin is very well known in skeptical circles for her blogs and her book The Fear Babe: Shattering Vani Hari's Glass House.

As soon as I listened to his book, Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in Trump's America, I knew that I wanted to talk to David Neiwert. He has covered far right extremists for various news outlets for decades and has written about hate crimes and extremist groups for a long time as well. In this episode I talked to him about the extremist right, some of the history of them, and how that plays into current events. It was a very interesting chat and I think David does a great job of highlighting the danger presented by the far right.

 The next couple episodes are going to be a little out of our normal order because this Kavanaugh episode is much more poignant if we have it out first. You can expect he Dusty Smith interview to be out soon and the next Shift To Reason Radio to be out after that. 

In this one Cory, Lisa, Sarah, Dan, and the amazing Dave talk about the hearings to confirm Brett Kavanaugh as a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States and the very troubling way that these hearings were carried out and how the Republicans seem to be dealing with allegations of sexual assault and attempted rape by their supreme court nominee.
