Heretics' Social Club
Co-hosted by Shauncey Fury and Jason Leger; Two self-reformed evangelicals with oddly similar backstories full of disdain for the church, and its teachings. Both born to young unwed mothers, both raised by Grandparents extremely active in church, both got sent off to emotionally manipulative Christian summer camps a la “Jesus Camp,” Both wound up embedded in the suburbanite subculture of Christian Hardcore & Punk music which lead to an interest in tattooing which is how they came together as Artist & Client. Together they’ll use their gosh-given gifts of unique insights, trauma-formed wisdoms & dark humors to navigate the absurdities littered throughout the history of religion. To those of you who feel stuck in a broken, manipulative, physically & mentally abusive system, or anyone struggling to wrap their head around a life outside of the church; We are here to help you make sense of the nonsense. You can stop serving the systems that no longer serve you. You can still have a happy life after breaking up with The Big Myth. Listen, just because he isn’t up there, doesn’t mean you’re alone down here. We’re all in this together, and we’re all we’ve got. Won’t you join us, friend? No gods. No masters. No worries. Got questions that need answers?, Answers that need questions? Love letters? Hate mail? Good or bad advice? Hell, maybe you want to sponsor this blasphemous maximus? Please drop us an e-mail: HereticSocialClub@gmail.com Who knows? Maybe we’ll read your letter on the air? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...And Allah Came a Spider...
Well, it was inevitable. We always knew this day would come. Today we're talking about Islam, but before you get mad at us, just know that it's mostly a True-Crime episode. We go over the "ministry" of Saeed Hanaei of Mashad, Iran. A bold man who decided to take it upon himself to eradicate his city of opportunities to sin. Did he build a university to educate the women committing these acts? Maybe he started a group home to allow them the safety to exist without the looming threats forcing them into sex work? Maybe he created a sex-positive space to help avoid unwanted pregnancies, and stds? Nah. He just killed them for existing. Man stuff. God stuff. We find this behavior disgusting, and refuse to pretend it wasn't facilitated by zealous religiosity. Won't you join us, friends?
