About this episode

Holiday joy, sunshine and pain. Safe spaces and getting deep with loved ones

 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share personal stories from the holidays, a time of year that can be full of joy and strife.

 

And we’ll replay a couple of our favorite philosophical segments: 

 

Is this show a safe space? What is our obligation as a show to create a safe space for ourselves and for the audience, and what does “safe space” mean, anyway? 

 

AND: is it safer, in life and in relationships with others, to go deep or to stay shallow? We all choose the moments where we reveal our depth to others, or even to ourselves. How do we make those choices?

We are 684 days away from the election. Happy Holidays y’all!
