Free Talk Cast

Following the catastrophe that was losing an entire episode recorded with Richie Rich, Aria sits down and goes back over the information that was discussed in the Lost Episode--the greatest episode in the history of podcasts. Aria talks about the Crypto 6 case, the plea agreements, the motions to dismiss, her reluctant plea deal, and finally Ian's upcoming appeal. If you're curious about federal court and that process, this episode probably has information you're interested in.

Why does your employer provide your health insurance? And why does it cost you money instead of actually being a perk of employment? How do tax brackets factor into this? And why do we support the insurance industry when it is a game of calculated fraud where the only way for the company to be profitable is to violate its agreement with you? This and more as Aria sits down with Rich E. Rich for another fantastic episode of Free Talk Cast.

Some people are toxic. Even if the people themselves aren't toxic, your relationship with them can be. Some people just bring out the worst in each other. Some people aren't meant to be in each other's lives. Friends, family, lovers... If a relationship is toxic or abusive, it has to be put to an end. In this episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria and Nikki talk about toxic relationships, toxic family members, drawing boundaries, and ending relationships.

Why is cryptocurrency exploding right now? The answer may surprise you.
This episode is late because I thought my mixer died. When I finally got the chance today to dig out my replacement, I learned that the power supply actually died. That's great, because that's a much cheaper fix. Anyway, we apologize for the delay; there was a hardware failure. 
We love you all!

In this followup to last week's episode, Nikki and Aria talk about the nuances of definition, and the importance of understanding things. We dive into the idea of the Mathematician's Answer, an answer or definition that is technically correct but completely useless under the circumstances. Finally, we talk about the importance of recognizing boundaries and not violating people's sacred spaces.

Join Aria and Nikki this week as we sit down to ask what could be a very important--or very pointless--question that a lot of people have discussed over the last few years: What is a woman?
The answers given may surprise you.
Isn't it also curious that no one is asking: What is a man?

What do you do when the world is coming to an end? Well, there's only one thing to do:
Panic.
And keep panicking. Don't stop until everything is better.

Controlling your emotions. Owning the self. Managing one's reactions, and therefore one's destiny. These things aren't easy. Sometimes we want to be angry, we want to be scared, we want to be upset. How can we combat these paradoxical desires and live rationally and responsibly, choosing forgiveness and love while owning our actions and behavior? This week, Aria and Nikki sit down to discuss these complex issues.

Aria & Nikki talk about the newly launched freeiannow.org, Ian's status in federal prison, and Ian's upcoming lengthy appeal process. Ian's facility is currently under lockdown, and inmates have no access to phones, email, or even visits.

A Federal Court has ordered the EPA to do something about the dangerous levels of fluoride that Americans are being exposed to. Aria and Nikki dig into the topic, the benefits of fluoridated water, and the hoped-for end to an experiment on the population.
