Women’s March, Linda Sarsour, Corey Booker, DNC Debate, the Path Forward http://lucaslynch.org/2017/02/01/schism-podcast-episode-2-womens-march-linda-sarsour-corey-booker-dnc-debate/ http://lucaslynch.org/2017/02/01/schism-podcast-episode-2-womens-march-linda-sarsour-corey-booker-dnc-debate/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2017 06:43:44 +0000 http://lucaslynch.org/?p=307

 

On this episode of the Schism, I reflect upon Week one of Donald Trump, and the first stumbles of the Democratic party and liberalism generally in the wilderness.  Linda Sarsour, Corey Booker, and the DNC debate are hard reminders of just how entrenched in the failed dogmas of the past we still are.

After months of procrastination by perfectionism, here it is – the first episode of the Schism Podcast.

Much thanks to all who encouraged me and all who lovingly poked fun at me for doing it.

Special thanks to Evan Vicic, my audio guru who was able to point me in the right direction in terms of audio equipment and editing, so that I was able to do this without making a total technical fool of myself.

In this episode I discuss what brought me here, and have a great conversation with filmmaker Jay Shapiro, who is filming a movie version of “Islam and the Future of Tolerance” with Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz.

Hope you enjoy this first rudimentary step forward.  Please leave suggestions and comments below for what and how I can do better in the future!
