BiCurean

Erik and Aicila asked Matt Mooney to join us to talk about his recent experience with social distance enforcement. We explored with him the balance between public safery and personal liberty.

Show Notes

Matt Mooney was respecting social distance protocols and local emergency measures while, with his wife, taking his 6 year old daughter out for a much needed excursion on April 5. He didn't expect his Sunday afternoon breath of fresh air to become a national flash point for the current debate about governmental overreach. We appreciate his candor and his sensible approach to looking for the balance of public safety and personal liberty.

What is BiCurean?

BiCurean takes typically combative topics and teaches them to play nice. Our view is the mainstream reactionary rhetoric divides us and only helps those invested in the status quo. We seek to find answers beyond the most obvious.

Join host Aicila as she digs into topics ranging from social and political to geeky and fun. Aicila is looking for the "BiCurean Moment"- the point where contradictions meet or are embraced.

BiCurean was conceived of in 2011 by Aicila as a podcast and originally created as a blog. On hiatus since 2021, she's been eager to start back up, and 2024 will be the year she does. Watch for new episodes, a new format, and just her as the host.
