Do Ask Do Tell is a weekly discussion show of all things LGBTQ. Initially presented by Ian Pope and Ari LW with a host of guests, the show has grown in 2013 to include Allison Downing and Richard Smith on the weekly roster. Do Ask Do Tell is deliberately presented by a group of people with diverse sexualities and gender identities to offer a fuller, more-rounded discussion of issues facing the LGBTQ community and the straight-world's response. With an ethos of social justice and unconditional equality, the show highlights current challenges and celebrates the good news in the move towards a more tolerant and equal society.

Richard and Allison's Super Happy Fun Time rose up from the ashes of Weekend Watches, morphing into a show for the Simply Syndicated community of listeners. We went live and opened the phone lines to connect with each other, share the things that have made the week great, and bring some fun to the weekend. It also showed that the community could support each other through life's challenges, and bring the most wonderfully diverse group of people together. 

Saturdays ain't the same without it, and the now legendary Christmas Eve Specials mark the beginning of the holidays for Synners everywhere. If Movies You Should See is the heart of Simply Syndicated, then SHaFT is its soul.

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion.
