Episode 202: You Can Hear Everything
Like a couple of common herd animals, Cori and Nina talk about the same movie everyone else is talking about. You Can See Everything raises questions: Does Elizabeth Holmes really believe what comes out of her mouth? Is her voice low? How maternal is she? Do b*****s be crazy? Why the 4:3 aspect ratio? Did they really stick cameras right up in their grills, or does super-high-res digital filmmaking permit severe cropping? Would Cori pee his pants to watch 3 more hours? Is it a trick or a hole in the hand?Contains spoilers. Go watch it like everyone else — nothing heterodox about it — before listening.LinksYou Can See Everything https://a24films.com/films/you-can-see-everythingThe Wizard of Oz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_OzThe Dropout https://www.hulu.com/series/the-dropoutCapturing the Friedmans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capturing_the_Friedmans Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 201: Joscha Bach Looks on the Bright Side
The Dorx are back with esteemed German cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and philosopher Joscha Bach, who…what does he do exactly? He tries to tell us but soon is discussing the unlikelihood AI will destroy humanity (humanity is likelier to destroy itself), “human values”, the paucity of adults, superstitious thinking, lack of consciousness, unreality, mutants, fatherhood, art, craft, God, gods, ethics, Aristotle, innocence, gender, the obvious, sacrifice, and using AI as your life’s CEO. Is the self a fiction? How much art do we really need? Are all Miyazake movies really about Heidi? And so much more!We let Riverside’s own AI edit this episode, and it’s full of artifacts as a result. Consider it meta-commentary on this fascinating human conversation.Links:Joscha Bach’s website: http://bach.ai/Joscha Bach’s Substack: https://joscha.substack.com/Joscha Bach on X: https://x.com/PlinzCalifornia Institute for Machine Consciousness: https://cimc.ai/ Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 200: What Not To Do If Your Son Is Dating A Tranny
Cori is BACK and so is the Heterodorx podcast! We didn’t even realize this was our 200th episode when we discussed an “interesting” article on PITT (Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans) that got Cori’s gender-neutral underthings in a twist because he, too, was once the “girlfriend” of a young man whose parents blew up. We also wasted this most auspicious number on Microsexuality, Straight Fragility, the persistence of homophobia, social systems, Identified Patients, attraction to posts, and hot nights of Mario Kart followed by “satisfaction”. Plus: cats and health (of course!) and Ninas dream bike which she will actually be able to ride soon.

Episode 199: Miracle Patient
What’s it like to survive Stage 4 abdominal cancer? The Dorx interviewed Alasdair over a year ago, shortly after he learned he was an immunotherapy “miracle patient.” But we never released that episode, partly because Nina cried about her own problems. Here Nina and Alasdair attempt to re-create April 2025 (not May, as Nina incorrectly asserts) and cover most of the same topics: emergency surgery, chemotherapy, heart failure, asking Dr Google, the woman across the infusion table, tuning out of genderworld, and robot litter boxes. All with less drama and more propriety!But is that a good thing? Should Nina release the spiked episode, which she has since listened to, despite Alasdair’s protestations?

Episode 196: The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Avocado Oil
Heterodorx is on indefinite hiatus while one of us goes through some Life Stuff He Can’t Talk About. But here’s a recording from early April, released today, June 5. So much has already changed! For example, Nina’s favorite nutrition shake, Soylent, is no longer available. SAD! We also discuss vegans, vegetarians, having to eat meat when you don’t want it, a canceled (and then uncanceled) YouTuber, Spirit Island, house-moving helicopters and other Homo wner content, and greatly exaggerating reports of our death.Links:NinaPaley cancels the Vagina Museum: https://4w.pub/nina-paley-cancels-the-vagina-museum/Spirit Island Archive: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxDPRFpq-C3zd9_DhKA-j5IWCpnABOcuYyFBoy Island: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/fboy-island/umc.cmc.6pvj6bxzk3vtisbuz0c8lg19f Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 195: Natalists, Outliers, and MAID for Podcasters with Meghan Daum
Writer, podcaster, teacher, thinker, public discourser, and friend of the pod’ Megan Daum joins the Dorx to discuss 80’s music trivia.

Episode 194: Veganism and Apostates
After talking about health as we always do because we’re old, we pivot to diet — specifically veganism. Cori, who has never cared about animal rights, gamely steel-mans an argument in favor, while Nina, whose bleeding heart has caused anemia and possibly brittle bones, fearfully argues against. Along the way we cover tribes, rituals, purity, CRISPR, evolution, Lierre Keith, lactose tolerance, lactation intolerance, the Bible, abattoirs, eggs, nuts, Jordan Peterson, cults, The Liberation Pledge, and how Nina accidentally killed a bat when she was 17.Since recording this on Passover 2026 (release delay 85% Cori’s fault) Nina worked through more of her apostasy, first writing The Law of Conservation of Evil and then Vegan Appreciation Day. She’s done now.Links:The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith: https://www.lierrekeith.com/book-ex_the-vegetarian-myth.phpSoylent (Creamy Chocolate is the only good flavor): https://www.amazon.com/Soylent-Chocolate-Protein-Replacement-Bottles/dp/B08H6FB43L?th=1Nina’s Fecebook solicitation: https://www.facebook.com/nina.paley/posts/pfbid0EcMpKSUVyGm6356iEw8VeJXzRJhSP5X3YyVZkDKrUAVrMrYC4oUR3fMriQ8vA2xtlNina’s poll on Spinster: https://spinster.xyz/@ninapaley/posts/B4tQFS5G2srXYSm1LcNina’s poll on Twitter:Jordan Peterson’s Lion Diet: https://liondiet.com/the-diet-updated-march-2018/The Liberation Pledge: https://veganfta.com/blog/2022/11/16/what-is-the-liberation-pledge-and-how-hard-is-it/Vegan TERFFles (out of stock) (password: vegan): https://store.ninapaley.com/product/vegan-terffles/Vegan Appreciation Day: https://ninapaley.com/2026/04/09/vegan-appreciation-day/The Law of Conservation of Evil: https://ninapaley.com/2026/04/04/the-law-of-conservation-of-evil/ Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe
