WiMP - White Man of Privilege17. Take Two: Tech Issues and Teachable MomentsWell shucks, the episode I had recorded for... this episode... didn't come together in the way I had hoped. So instead of exploring White Christian Nationalism, this is a shorter episode informed by some constructive criticism I received on my previous episode about Toxic Masculinity. I do value your feedback, dear listener, and so this episode is an attempt to respond to some of that powerful, and necessary, criticism. Thanks for listening.
