This week’s episode titled “Father and Mother” pushes beyond the limits of Big Lexi and even some now conventional discussions of sexual complementarity influenced by St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. While some in the audience might disagree with one or several of the connections offered in the episode between language and the foundational relations of father and mother to their children. I am also aware that pleasing everyone is statistically unlikely given the topic. I do kindly ask those seeking to summarily cancel me from polite or even impolite society to at least like the episode and subscribe to podcast in an act condignly hypocritical to complement your disordered desire for kratos. The purpose of the episode, like all those of the podcast, is to suggest a deeper etymology and etiology for the words we employ to express reality each day. Thus, while the positions offered in each episode are in no way definitive, it is my hope that they function as timeless attempts at expanding your palette for true and accurate verbal expression.
For those so sated, I also ask that you like the episode, subscribe to the podcast, and leave a comment should you be so inclined and able on this listening platform.

New upcoming BetterPears Greenhouse Fellowships, participatory dramatic readings of Shakespeare’s greatest plays have been added to the website, including a Friday/Saturday fellowship on Romeo and Juliet for spring break. Each fellowship consists of two reading sessions in a domestic setting featuring an experienced guide, delicious food, and a Shakespearean masterpiece all for a fixed price. In addition, some of our weekend fellowships are now designated for Coffee, Tea, and fresh Pear service in lieu of our regular refreshments at a reduced cost to fellows. This will better accommodate fellows seeking to dine for the evening, think date night, prior to the fellowship session.
To learn more, watch our introductory video, and register please visit BetterPears.com/Greenhouse.
If you enjoy the BetterPears Podcast somewhere downrange from OKC and would like to host a BetterPears Fellowship in your hometown, please let us know by leaving a comment or emailing me through the contact page of the website.
Finally, the BetterPears Podcast is offered free through the wonder of the internet but made possible through the continued contributions of our listener audience. Later this week, I will be announcing a new and profitable way to support the work of BetterPears on the BetterPears website and social media platforms. If you have not yet registered to receive the BetterPears newsletter, please do so at the bottom of the page at BetterPears.com, so that you are the first to know of new episodes and exciting developments. Thank you for your continued patronage of attention and federal reserve notes.

Greetings BetterPears listeners, readers, and fellows,
Our scheduled episode this week was interceded by developments with our in-person offerings in Oklahoma City. It is becoming more apparent that we live in troubled times and one of the greater difficulties in preparing for an uncertain future is developing a community of others who share a common worldview and corresponding principles. While our humble little podcast has been successful in casting a wide net of interested people seeking interest in the strong sense, it is time to offer something more concrete and engaging for our audience.
In designing what are called Greenhouse Fellowships, particular attention has been paid to making this model scalable as the world is wide and the hour is late. Registrations for these fellowship sessions is being facilitated by Stellar Web Systems with whom I have worked closely in my previous career. Their data management platform is innovative and adaptive to the growing needs of BetterPears.
To better explain the Greenhouse Fellowships and invite fellow Oklahomans to register, I produced a short introductory video that I encourage you to view and share with your close friends and family.
Yours in Him,
Dr. Jason Fugikawa
Welcome back to another season of The BetterPears Podcast. As we announced in December, there are a number of new initiatives happening at BetterPears including further development of the BetterPears Market, your home for BetterPears branded apparel and drinkware. The podcast has also been establishing its presence on Rumble and YouTube, although new episodes of the podcast will continue to premier on exclusively audio platforms and the website where you can continue to read along at BetterPears.com/Preserves.
This first episode of our second season begins with a dedication to my paternal grandmother to complement ending last season with a dedication to my paternal grandfather. It also complements the episode itself as memory and forgetting comprise our theme for this epiphanic debut.
