Ready to be part of a family like no other? Imagine a world where your kin might include a comedian, a policy wonk, or even a Brazilian goose trained as a security guard. That's the kind of wild ride we're inviting you on with Scott Moppen and Adam Prouse, as we tackle the outlandish yet thought-provoking concept of extended civil families, inspired by none other than Kurt Vonnegut. We promise an episode where laughter meets innovation, and you'll find yourself both entertained and enlightened by our musings on redefining community support.
Forget everything you thought you knew about governance, taxes, and charity. This isn't your average political debate; it's a no-holds-barred, humorous yet incisive examination of what binds us together as a society, from mutual aid to the passion of sports fans. As we weave through the potential of nontraditional families to reshape our approach to societal issues, you'll discover the surprising ways in which we're already connected.
Wrap up your listening experience with a visionary glance at the future, where Medicare for All is just the tip of the iceberg, and "gangs for good" could be the new norm. We're breaking down the challenges and opportunities of micro-communities, pondering the revolutionary potential of a new family system, and offering a cheeky nod to the transformative power of mutual aid. Join us for a conversation that's as much about laughter as it is about the serious business of crafting a society that thrives on empathy, engagement, and the occasional gaggle of guardian geese.
