The M3 Bearcast from Male Media Mind

Welcome to the M3 Baercast. My name is Malcolm Travers. Male Media Mind is a grassroots organization dedicated to uplifting and unifying the black bear community through dialogue, insight, creativity, and knowledge. I've been hosting live streams and sharing content on social media for many years now. I've been asked few times to produce a podcast. It's been a pleasure to make them. Podcasts have the capability to host a longer, more in-depth conversation than our videos on youtube. It also allows you to work or the gym, and you don't have to worry about visual elements of the show being missing, which allows you to passively partake in our conversations. It gives me a chance to mold and edit the conversations in ways that make our points clear.

The M3 Bearcast from Male Media Mind

Slop, Solidarity & Survival

April 18, 2025 • Episode 78

In this episode of the M3 BearCast, Malcolm Travers digs into two powerful topics: the intentional decline in product and cultural quality under capitalism (“slop”) and the grassroots power of mutual aid as a survival tool in a crumbling economy. Why do we accept cheap, disposable goods? What can we learn from countries like Rwanda about caring for the unhoused and maintaining dignity without money? Through livestream excerpts and personal reflections, Malcolm challenges the comfort trap, explores community-based alternatives, and calls for a radical rethinking of value, dependence, and resistance.
