Our goal is to challenge views put forth by mainstream and social media as well by exploring contradictory material and subtexts. Notably, presenting the concept that one can hold competing viewpoints, and that mutual exclusivity, is not a requirement. The basic precept of this podcast challenges Festinger’s Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, in proposing that we have the choice to break the “so-called” mold. And finally, since our host and guests may, at times, and without apology, engage in irreverent banter, this podcast is better suited for mature audiences.
