あらすじ・解説
As we wind our way to the tail end of this season, we share feedback provided by our listeners. The questions spark conversations. We discuss what would bring us to conversion, how to understand sexual intimacy, and even masturbation. This episode also includes Kyle’s interview with Fraser Tripp. Sponsors:Assumptions is sponsored by Alberta Podcast Network and this week we highlighted the Young Gaffers. This week we are also sponsored by Edmonton’s Lit Fest (use the discount code atbrocks. Show Notes:Our episode begins with Kyle’s interview with Fraser Tripp (https://twitter.com/frasertripp?lang=en). In that conversation Dan Savage (https://www.thestranger.com/savage-love), the Buzzfeed “I’m gay but I’m not...” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ScSlW3FCr4), and the TV Show Rosanne (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094540/). We briefly mention Kyle’s studio in Calgary, Media Lab YYC (https://www.medialabyyc.com).Daniel mentioned the quote about how marriage turns strangers into families. It comes from Eugene Peterson in his book, Where Your Treasure Is, when he says “Every marriage brings two unrelated families into committed historical encounter with each other. We need to be forced out of ourselves into encounter with other sand to demonstrate with our lives that the other is an ally and not an enemy. Strangers, through the practice of adoration and detachment, become lovers. The natural rivalries that develop between people whoa re different are counters in the act of marriage and changed into alliances. Every marriage is proof that the other is not the enemy, not the rival, not the threat, but the friend, the ally, and, at best, the lover.”The names of the three three fates in Greek mythology are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.Speaking of storytelling, our whole first season, The Stories We Tell, is dedicated to the stories that shape us.Daniel mentioned two creeds, ancient documents that specify Christian doctrine, that provide a useful boundary as to what is Christian and what is not. If a church or denomination does not hold to any of the beliefs specified in these creeds, it’s safe to assume they are no longer orthodox. The first creed is the Apostle’s Creed (https://www.churchofengland.org/our-faith/what-we-believe/apostles-creed) and the second in the more specific Nicene Creed (https://www.churchofengland.org/our-faith/what-we-believe/apostles-creed#na)Once again, Daniel quotes from Alan Jacobs, who in is book How To Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds says that we need to spend time around people who are like-hearted, not necessarily like-minded. Here’s a great little recap of the book: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/spark/378-surge-toll-roads-how-to-think-and-more-1.4451013/we-need-a-survival-guide-for-thinking-because-we-re-bad-at-it-1.4458377Daniel and Kyle briefly allude to the delightful TV series Stephen Fry in America (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307789/).Daniel refers to a short video by Tim Keller, which can be found here: https://vimeo.com/283015823We talk more about the ways the horror genre confronts secular belief in this episode from our first season. https://soundcloud.com/assumptionspod/oh-the-horror-season-one qOur episode dedicated to the purpose of sex is Let’s Talk About Sex: https://soundcloud.com/assumptionspod/lets-talk-about-sex-season-twoIn our interview with Joy Beth Smith, she briefly alludes to masturbation, a topic she covers in more detail in her book Party of One: https://soundcloud.com/assumptionspod/bonus-episode-an-interview-1 Credits:Assumptions is written and produced by Daniel Melvill Jones and Kyle Marshall.This episode edited by Kyle Marshall.Our soundtrack comes from The Parson Red Heads.Podcast artwork designed by Chris Taniguchi.Photography by Josh Boak Assumptions is available wherever podcasts are found, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Soundcloud, Spotify, iHeart Radio, and through the CKUA app.Don't forget to rate and review us and share and follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
