In this podcast we continue our series exploring the true history of the Nazi T4 euthanasia programme. In this episode we talk about the Brandenburg killing centre, where the very first Nazi gas chambers were developed, and which ultimately had to be shut down when it became a liability to the Third Reich. This episode also features interviews with the firsthand witnesses of the T4 euthanasia programme.

Last week a former NZ radio host turned podcaster conducted a lengthy interview with a woman who has declared that she is about to end her life with an assisted suicide. To call that interview a gushing endorsement and unchallenged glamorisation of assisted suicide would be an under statement. In todayโs episode we push back against this unabashed promotion of euthanasia, explore the deeper reality at play and challenge some of the assertions that were made.

Late last week a Patron sent me a message about her experiences in online forums where people are dealing with chronic health issues, and asking about what we can do to help those who are at greater risk of assisted dying. I thought her message was an important one, and so I am going to unpack it and share my thoughts about all of this in this episode.

Last week it was announced that a nationwide drag queen story hour had been cancelled amid ongoing public protests about the sexualization of young children. Almost immediately there were claims that this was a โThugโs Vetoโ and a bad thing for society. In this episode we explore the validity of this assertion, and why such claims are a classic example of liberalism assuming that itโs ideological beliefs about how society should operate must never be questioned.

Today I had planned to discuss a completely different topic on the podcast, but yesterday morning the media reported about some major changes that are now being proposed for NZโs euthanasia law. Today we will discuss these proposals, why they would be such a bad idea for vulnerable members of the NZ community, and what the next stages of this process might look like.

A brand new Canadian court case involving a radical new form of transgender surgery, and another recent case of amputation of other body parts, raises some serious ethical questions about the increasing radicalisation of surgical amputations and alterations of healthy human bodies. Why is this happening and is this really a good thing?
