Tangentially Speaking is dedicated to the idea that good conversation is organic, uncensored, revelatory, and free to go down unexpected paths with unconventional people. <a href="https://chrisryan.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">chrisryan.substack.com</a>

Jeff Mauer is the brains behind I Might Be Wrong, here on Substack. He was head writer for Last Week Tonight, with John Oliver and before that, wrote speeches at the EPA. He’s smart, funny, and thoughtful — and savvy enough to shut the fuck up when Chris Rock walks into the room. This is a public episode.

Tangentially Speaking with Christopher Ryan

653 -Jeff Maurer (Comic/Writer)

When I first came across his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/healingfromhealing?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==">Instagram account</a>, I assumed he was a comedian of some sort, as he is so deft at taking the piss out of the New Age, Shamanic, Mother-Aya nonsense. Then I read <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/@healingfromhealing/p-157571768">his essay on Substack</a> and realized that this dude is very, very smart and his humor — like all the best humor — is fueled by wisdom, compassion, disappointment, and rage.

Anya and Nadia have helped lead our retreats in Montana for the past few years. In this conversation, we talk about the different kinds of movement they’ve studied and teach and how — along with Cameron and Melayne — we try to create a place and time where people can get very real with themselves and each other.
