Our Season 2 Finale is full of laughs, call-backs, recaps and cameos! Plus fantastic conversation and music from Brendan and Gabrielle of Wheatus! The focus of our main discussion is on Modern Dating. It's a far cry from what we witnessed in years past. Where meeting at a bar or on a dating app was stigmatized even a decade ago, is now par for the course. For singles, searching for love, sex, companionship or even just a positive experience, how does it work? Is success in any form a rare commodity or is there simply a shift that needs to take place, to adjust one's expectations and understanding of dating in the modern age?

Many of us who were raised by more traditional parents grew into adults and witnessed a totally different type of child – the one kicking the back of our seat on the airplane or throwing a public fit with no parental invention. We’ve also seen this completely different parent than what we remember. This new one who seems passive, if not permissive. The parent who acts like BFFs with the hell-raiser as opposed to the guardian and authority figure. And so we’ve been told they’re “gentle parents.” What is this new term? Is it an everything-goes style or child rearing or are there misconceptions about what we’ve come to know as gentle parenting? With a family counselor, Dr. Jen Yensel of the Cole Center, in discussion with a panel of parents, a teacher, and a children's sports coach. Featuring music by Hand+Noise -- @handplusnoise on socials.

A frustrating topic leads to a heated debate: Cancel Culture. What does it look like? Does it really exist or is it a facade? The Right and the Left clash over what's considered canceled and what's simply the public using their voices to hold the powerful accountable. Do corporations actually have a moral cause or are they doing a consumer risk assessment by un-backing celebrities and/or brands who have scandal attached to them? Is pulling up a 10-year-old social media post a relevant measure of someone's character? Should we boycott or cancel anyone in the first place? What does it do to us as a society when we play judge, jury, and executioner so flippantly? With Musician Spotlight on Red Rose Panic from Akron, Ohio.

As a perfect follow-up to the previous episode on purity culture, the Going There team takes a road trip to Philadelphia, PA, for a special one-on-one conversation. Matt meets with Erica Smith, the creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program and author of My Sexual Values Workbook. Erica talks to her experience in working with clients traumatized by church and religious teachings on purity, what the healing process looks like, and all the ways it can rear its ugly head. Matt shares his candid answers from the workbook questionnaire as they unpack those things together, with authenticity and humor...and some 'that's what she said' jokes. Meanwhile, the Long Island group, The Belle Curves, provide an equally candid soundtrack.

Especially prevalent in the 1990s and early 2000s, the phenomenon known as purity culture reached a nationwide status and was echoed by the Evangelicals and moral majority. It focused on waiting until marriage to remain 'pure' in God's eyes. From purity rings, v-card declarations, body and sex shaming, anti-feminist ideologies and teachings of eternal damnation, this cultural issue impacted the lives of millions. While it has largely dissolved into yesteryear, the trauma and emotional scars still wreak havoc on the survivors of this movement to this very day. How has it impacted you? Has it had any effect on your friends, family, or significant others? And how can we heal it? The music of Dissimilar South provides some sweet therapy in the process.

What happens when TV Shows, Movies, and art fall out of grace with our culture because of themes, characters and language being deemed as offensive? What makes a film or show controversial and what enables it to be redeemed? Are there objectively offensive works or does every piece of art deserve redemption? Can we reconcile the culture of the past and still salvage some of the art and expression of those films and shows? How do we move forward by learning from our past but not throwing the baby out with the bath water...how do we not become the people who ban art?
