What is Philtered?

Philtered is a publication looking at the uncomfortable issues in western culture. These include education, medicine, politics and gender. Ideologies that inform western society need constant questioning and I’ll do that.

Dismantling the towers of academia is a favorite pastime. I’ve been an ‘academic’, and I’ve seen some terrible things.

These issues often polarize. You may not like everything you read, but most do make interesting dinner-party conversation.

Now includes Marking the Role

From November 2024, Philtered contains content from the Marking the Role education podcast. Due to health issues, I couldn’t sustain two publications. Merging the two was the obvious answer.

These health issues mean I can’t guarantee regular content. It’s unfair for you to pay for sporadic content, so it’s all free. I will however, accept any donations that come my way.

Anything that ads to my Australian Government pension will be greatly appreciated. I’ll even give you a first-name shout-out in an episode, video or article yet flatly refuse to use pronouns that don’t match the sex you were born with.

Thanks for reading.

Words, podcasts, songs & vids about society on the brink. Education, culture wars, gender ideology & media stupidity are favorites. Alter ego of Nancy Bell. As an ex-academic, I've seen some terrible things. Sporadic but meaty posts.
