The Three Things We’re Not Supposed To Talk About In Public
Why? Because it’s damn near impossible to talk about sex, religion, and politics without offending people. Not only that, moral outrage has now surpassed baseball to become America’s favorite pastime.
And yet we MUST talk about these matters. Why? Because … what’s the alternative? Keeping things the way they are? Tell that to the Little Guy! And we’re not just talking about our … [redaction].
SRP Mission
SRP is devoted to challenging popular notions of propriety, in thoughtful and amusing ways. We don’t always succeed; neither do we stop trying. And we rely on audience response to map our quest.
That’s right, we want you to talk back.
We welcome comments after each post.
You can also contact us directly, and subscribe to SRP to get email notices of new podcast episodes and articles.
What We Do
Our three primary products right now (if you didn’t notice on the Home page) are:
1. Charm School
It’s a novel, presented free of charge (for now) as a webserial. A romantic comedy that demonstrates our many years of studying evolutionary biology and dating science with a huge panoply of scientists and psychopaths. And if your huge panoply persists for longer than four hours, call Helen Fisher.
2. The SRP Radio Podcast
Humor and Inspiration for the OTHER 1%. This American Life on mushrooms. The skinny on everyday power struggles from our View-From-Below Reporters. You won’t hear much about famous politicians on this show. Why? Because there are already too many goddamn shows about politicians!
3. The Blog
Sex, Religion, Politics . . . From the Point-Of-View Of the Little Guy. This is where we go off. And where we generate most of the material for the podcast. And some for the novel. Much of the blog gets censored before it gets to the podcast and novel. But this is where you’re gonna find most of the stuff that gets us in trouble with Conservatives and Liberals and Feminists and Evangelicals and . . . you name it. People love to get mad as hell these days. Oh yeah . . . and goats! Goats don’t like us, for some reason.
How We Do It
What we do that nobody else does, is . . . we present “the issues” from the point of view of the little guy. Politics, for us, means everyday power struggles.

In the SRP UNIVERSE …
We’re all politicians in our own campaigns for DOMINANCE and BELONGING.
We’re all priests who find meaning in rituals that celebrate LIFE and DEATH.
And we’re all sex maniacs driven by urges WONDERFUL and DISTURBING.
We spend all our lives never quite mastering (or making sense of) politics, religion, and sex.
SRP In a Nut’s Hell
SRP is about HUMOR and INSPIRATION. It’s about the SACRED and the PROFANE. About INFORMING and ENTERTAINING.

… and many other blessings for the poor in spirit.
Above all, remember …
If you laugh at something serious, you won’t go to hell. But if you don’t laugh at something funny, you may already be there.
Who said that?
We did.
