Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with the Internet? From family reunions to doctors appointments to movie premieres, we rely on it more and more every day. Since we can’t avoid it, let’s talk about taking control of our online lives and having a healthy relationship with the internet (or at least find out if that’s a thing!). Each episode, hosts Anna Van Valin (Every Day is a Food Day, Screen Dive) and Colin Foy (Lindenfield, SiriusXM) tackle everyday elements of our wifi-connected lives, how we can harness the good and handle the bad. In our Troubleshooting segments, we give you strategies for managing the gnarliest challenges of the internet like Zoom fatigue, unfollowing guilt and compulsive news checking (we see you, 2021). Every episode ends with some Internet Gold, things we love that represent the best of the internet.

Thought Works is a podcast about random thoughts of two seasoned healthcare professionals. These thoughts center around what makes each one of us different, yet similar. From fears and our worrying/panicking of the next change in our normal life to satisfaction and our tastes in food or music. This is not some dry stuffy recording of a human parts list. It is a compared and contrasted approach between Eddie and Darren. Now they have similarities and differences themselves. But an important similarity, is the never ending curiosity and drive to understand. Darren is lead by the “dead cat gene” of curiosity and wanting all to understand. Eddie is passionate about people not missing out or suffering from a lack of openness to try something new. Listen along to be engaged, informed, or just entertained.

A lot of people think that Church is BS. They think we’re full of it. They think that Christians, Christianity and Church is a load of crap, that Christians are negative, out of touch, judgmental, small minded, mean spirited, politically driven and decidedly hypocritical. We embrace a fresh faith, leaving behind the hard line “you’re wrong – we’re right” attitude, the “your sin is worse than my sin” delusion, the medieval paradigm of hell, the contrived emotionalism, the anti-science bias, and the political one-sidedness. This podcast will give a place to debate old and new ideas within Christianity in a respectful environment. Every week Mark and Tammy will discuss a culturally relevant but controversial topic; Mark from the perspective of a ex-pastor and Tammy from the perspective of a disillusioned church-goer with a scientific background. Our goal is to foster an environment of questioning and learning using an open mind so listeners develop an intellectually credible faith that aligns in their heart, soul and mind.
