In this episode, Charlie and Brian reflect on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, connecting its themes to modern issues of oppression, mindfulness, and collective action. They emphasize the need for organizing and building communities to create meaningful, systemic change. The story of Herod serves as a metaphor for the dangers of heedlessness and unchecked power, drawing parallels to current global and local injustices. Listeners are invited to consider how they can contribute to grassroots movements and long-term solutions, rather than relying on fleeting outrage cycles.
