I did a super-fast podcast while Francesca stalked things only she could see in the backyard.
Talking With Myself About Black Lives Matter, the N-Word, and Other Things
I’m way behind on a lot of things, but I managed to throw something together quickly. The sound was a little in and out for no known reason. Alas.
Talking With Myself About Memorial Day, Suicide, and Drug Abuse
I’m sleep-deprived and have been working myself too hard. This has led me to creep out the neighbors by wandering around my front yard while talking with myself.
Purity Culture With Scarlet Virgins Author Rebecca Lemke
What does a 40-something non-religious man have to learn from a 21-year-old Christian about Purity Culture. Plenty. And those things can certainly be used to understand the broader American culture.

Meandering Musings Week 20, 2017
I got a super-advance copy of “The Scarlet Virgins” by Rebecca Lemke. It’s certainly targeted to Christians, but I am hooked. Then again, I’m someone who doesn’t mind having his views challenged. I should have my podcast with Rebecca up in the next couple of days. This young woman has a number of books left to write. I can’t wait to read them all.
Speaking of my podcast, I can’t believe it took me this long to start doing one. It’s a lot of work, but I love doing it. I don’t even care if anyone listens, but I’d really love it if you would be a guest. Drop a line to swmseekspodcast@gmail.com.
I had some other things running through my head throughout the week. Then I heard the news about Chris Cornell, and everything else kind of ran away.
Back in November 1996, I went to see Soundgarden at the Palace of Auburn Hills. It was a great show with a nice mix of songs from throughout their career. Part of what inspired me to go was missing a Nirvana show a few years earlier and just thinking I’d catch their next tour. For many of us who became adults the big four Seattle bands (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains) will always have special importance.

Speaking Autism with The Relationship Blogger Raymond Baxter
What happens when two straight white men sit around talking autism? At least part of the answer is in this episode. Check it out.
From Raymond:
I’m a man that’s been through the pitfalls and elations of relationships in my ever growing quest to better my knowledge in the human condition. I’ve been in the game and around the Internet since 1996 and surprisingly I’m still using it today. I’ve definitely found myself in some weird and wonderful places and I hope to share all of this with you lucky people.

Talking With Myself About Sex Abuse at U of AZ and 13 Reasons Why
I recorded a short solo podcast while wandering around my backyard with my kitty Francesca.

I hope you’ll come back for that.
I hope you’ll be a guest on the SWM Seeks podcast. Drop a line to swmseekspodcast@gmail.com.
