codeswitch

This episode is a collaboration with our friends at Oye and NPR's Code Switch about finding salvation in unexpected places.

After leaving the Pentecostal church, reporter Jess Alvarenga has been searching for a new spiritual home. They takes us on their journey to find spirituality that includes the dining room dungeon of a dominatrix, Buddhist monks taking magic mushrooms, and the pulpit of a Pentecostal church.

Special thanks to the Ferriss, UC Berkeley’s Psychedelic Journalism program for their support.

BONUS: We’re excited to share an episode of NPR’s Code Switch that highlights Brian’s “Finding Home, Con DACA” series that we published earlier this year.

(You can check out those stories here on our feed.)

Brian spoke to host Lori Lizzaraga about his time in Mexico as a DACA recipient, how he embraced being pocho and all those feelings that come along with being undocumented in this country.

Have you heard of code switching? For some, it's a privilege they don't have to think about. For others, it's a notion all-too-conscious that informs and impacts their each and every day.

Join Bagel and Chris for this vibrant, provocative conversation where they unpack the benefits and drawbacks of code switching, explore values-informed decision making, and discuss Chris' journey to launching his party rental business in Wilmington, NC.
