Episode 21: Our FIRST Fireside Chat - Votes, Guns, and a Cult Birthday!

Dumpster Diving with Janice & Jane Podcast

We promised and now we're delivering! Our Fireside Chats are all about tackling the news stories that are hitting us hard and sharing our views. We anticipate moments of "Yep, exactly" along with moments of "That's total bullsh*t!"
In our FIRST EVER Fireside Chat we jump head first into the hard stuff. Both racism and gun control reared their ugly heads and we tackle the heavy questions, reflecting on recent tragedies and exploring ways to prevent them. Through examining our current legal structure, we discuss how intervention options could play out and what this signifies for our society. We also delve into Jane's cult adventures in Wisconsin, adding some humor and lightness to this hefty conversation.
Switching gears, we discuss the struggles and injustices faced by those living below the poverty line. We shed light on the current voting system in Florida, exposing the difficulties it has created, particularly for people of color. We also bring attention to the fear of violence that is heightened for people of color and the impact of escalating living costs. We conclude this segment by iterating the importance of promoting anti-racism and educating ourselves on the systemic racism ingrained in American society.
Lastly, we highlight Colin Kaepernick's 'Know Your Rights' campaign and the importance of community support. We stress the need for parents to be conscious of the messages they convey to their children, especially in the current climate of rising gun violence. We punctuate the episode by emphasizing the significance of being informed and proactive in the upcoming elections.
True to form, though, we wrap up on a lighter note, joking about the joys of teaching our kids annoying songs and expressing gratitude to our listeners. Join us for a journey of laughter, learning, and exploration.
