Veggie tacos & animism w Jam Doughty
Saint Sparklebear sits down with artist and nature educator Jam Doughty. We share veggie tacos replete with ALL the veg (avocado, spinach, onion, pepper and mushroom) and plantains for dessert. Jam teaches the littlest humans at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago. We discuss how to teach empathy, living and creating with neurodivergence and how being nonbinary shaped their view of the world and their art.
Jam’s art plunges us into a state of magical realism where everything, whether animate or inanimate, is alive and pulsing with life. From a spiritual stance that could be described as pragmatic animism, Jam reminds us that despite all of our complexity and culture and ideology, human beings are just animals. But Complex and glorious animals living within and among a vast and mind blowing ecosystem that we have only begun to truly understand.

This is the first episode of our new show, Faith In The Dice. Panel members Wesley Morrison-Sloat, Kyrie Payton, and James Perrin discuss faith and gaming of all sorts from traditional board games like Chess and Risk to tabletop role playing classics like Dungeons and Dragons and Vampire: The Masquerade, to videogames like Fable and Portal. We also delve into the psychology and sociology of gaming and religion, the long tradition of interactive storytelling dating back to the myths of ancient Greece and stretching forward to the Star Trek fandom, and all sorts of nerdery besides.

On this episode of A Pastor and a Priest Walk Into A Movie Theater, Rev. Michele Byerly and Fr. Andrew Miller discuss the 2006 movies World Trade Center and United 93, and the 2011 movie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close as well as the spiritual and cultural impacts that the attacks have had on the world.
This episode breaks the cycle we have established for ourselves in order to examine the 20th anniversary of the attacks as well as the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan and the very clear loss of the United States war in Afghanistan. We felt it was important to address these landmarks in our history which have clear and extreme impacts on our faith.

Saint Sparklebear sits down with multi-media artist Carly Newman. Join us for a meal of artichokes and cedar-planked salmon paired with a classic Negroni made with amaro bitters created from artichokes. We talk about how she uses domestic fabrics, like tablecloths and blankets to evoke shared sentimentality and the ways we cope, protect, hide and communicate within both the intimate and social realm. From a childhood filled with the memories and anxious nostalgia of what she calls “emotional Judaism,” Carly invites us to negotiate with our pasts, question our memory, and be artfully present in the now and in community.
