Misfits Among Us

About Misfits Among Us

Misfits Among Us is a conversation-driven channel built on one simple idea: people don’t think the way they do by accident. Real people — misfits of every kind — to talk openly about politics, religion, film, television, culture, media, and the experiences that shaped their worldview. We’re less interested in what people believe and far more curious about why. Explores the life behind the opinion: the moments, mistakes, wins, losses, and tribulations that led someone to see the world the way they do. No talking points. No safe lanes. No topics off limits. This isn’t about debate or “gotcha” moments. It’s about understanding, curiosity, and a healthy dose of comedy. Because humor lowers defenses, and real conversations happen when people feel heard. Misfits Among Us doesn’t try to change minds....It tries to understand them.

   The KINK Consultant | The Amanda Dames Story | Misfits Among Us @TheKinkConsultant

   This is a conversation about kink, shame, fantasy, relationships, desire, communication, safety, identity, and what happens when someone stops hiding the part of themselves they thought made them strange. Amanda Dames spent years believing something was wrong with her. As a child, she knew she was drawn to spanking before she had the language to understand why. As a teenager, she discovered BDSM through late-night television and realized, for the first time, that maybe she was not alone. Years later, she would live a double life: corporate media professional by day, professional dominatrix by night. But Amanda’s story is not just about kink. It is about what happens when a hidden part of you becomes impossible to ignore. In This Episode: Amanda Dames realizing she was kinky from a young age Growing up with shame around taboo desires The difference between a kink and a fetish Why spanking became central to Amanda’s sexuality Discovering BDSM through late-night television Trying to be “normal” in relationships Marriage, sexual incompatibility, and divorce Why hidden desires can become overwhelming Wall Street by day, dominatrix by night Working inside a New York dungeon The difference between fantasy and real life Safe words, role play, and dungeon etiquette Medical fetishes, spanking parties, and kink conventions What people misunderstand about BDSM Why kink is often more innocent than people think The danger of hiding fantasies for too long Consent, safety, and hard limits Why communication matters in relationships How to bring up kink with a partner Becoming The Kink Consultant Helping people remove shame around desire Finding love with someone who truly understands her Why being seen matters more than being “normal” ABOUT AMANDA DAMES Website: https://www.amandadames.com/ (https://www.amandadames.com/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thekinkconsultant (https://www.youtube.com/@thekinkconsultant) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekinkconsultant (https://www.tiktok.com/@thekinkconsultant) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_kinkconsultant (https://www.instagram.com/the_kinkconsultant) ABOUT MISFITS AMONG US Misfits Among Us is a conversation-driven podcast exploring how people develop their beliefs, identities, and worldviews through life experiences.

   FBI's Most Wanted: The Peter Young Story

   Peter Young’s story does not fit neatly into right or wrong. As a teenager, Peter became vegan, found the animal rights movement through punk rock, and quickly moved from protest into direct action. What started with stickers, protests, and late-night vandalism became something much bigger: breaking into facilities, rescuing animals, releasing thousands of mink, going on the run, living under a false identity, and eventually becoming one of the FBI’s most wanted. But this episode is not just about what Peter did. It is about why he did it. In this conversation, Joey and Peter talk about animal liberation, veganism, punk rock, the Animal Liberation Front, mink farms, fur farms, federal charges, fugitive life, prison, refusing to inform, rebuilding after incarceration, and how a man once labeled a terrorist eventually became a successful entrepreneur. Peter’s life is a story about conviction, risk, freedom, consequence, and the strange line between rebellion and purpose. Whether you agree with him or not, his story forces a bigger question: What are you willing to risk for what you believe? This is FBI’s MOST WANTED with Peter Young. Because the misfits aren’t rare.

008: Freedom Isn't Free - Its Chosen

Published 11 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think that have a country where people are free to debate whatever they want to and be able to say, speak their mind easily. You don't have to teach your child watch out because your teacher might be trying to pull information from you or turn you into spying on the family. These are maybe very basics, but these are basics that our people have been for granted for a century and that is something that resonates with me as a principle i believe that we are as a movement we are willing to sacrifice everything in our lives to be able to give everything to our people what can be like the greatest achievement of my life is to be able to give free freedom to the people of Iran.
