Air date: may 12, 201Guests: Joe Nice and Kat wellsSynopsis:THIS EPISODE IS ALL TALK NO MUSIC. A couple days after launch, @joenicedj and @katwells22 and I recorded this cross over episode, discussing how racism, concepts of safer spaces and harm reduction all interconnect in electronic music festival culture. Electronic music communities often center the concept of PLUR - peace, love, unity and respect… how does anti-racism fit into this ? This is a jam-packed, hour long conversation that unpacks all this and more. If you enjoyed this episode, please check out @joeandkatchats a weekly show (that also airs here on tastemakers about abolishing White Supremacy and institutionalized racism.

Air date: April 28Guest: Kristin Karas and Sloane Ferenchak, Dance SafeSynopsis:This show picks up a topic introduced in earlier shows, a topic that's a favorite at @sanctuary_radio: sex and consent! This episode spends a bit more time talking about the positive aspects of sex on drugs. You may be familiar with harm reduction, but have you heard the term benefit maximization? Benefit maximization goes beyond knowledge that helps you navigate a situation with less risk, to a conversation that talks about an experience that is less risky AND pleasurable, enjoyable and the most fun!Note: this episode talks very explicitly about sex and drugs. The paper referenced (and quoted) is Pharmacosex: Reimagining sex, drugs and enhancement by Leah Moyle, Alex Dymock, Alexandra Aldridge, Ben MechenMusic:Places by @shlohmo (throwback much?)Take 2 by @ohyeapaulchin ft @shadkmusicJour 1 by HildegardVietnam by @trickyofficial (lafawndah_ remix)

In spite of this, these lands are also sites of organizing, advocating and grassroots Indigenous- led projects rooted in community care.Music:Maü Shit by Iglooghost, Kai Whiston, BABiiRendez​-​Vous by Lunice & Chase​.​Wavmatthew herbert remix of bjork’s crystalline
