Patreon is a service that people use to support people who do things like make podcasts like us. You can go to patreon, P-A-T-R-E-O-N dot com slash very bad wizards,. Or you can just go to our regular very bad wizard dot com page or the dot com slash support page and you'll see a link there. There are also other ways, all the old ways to support us. Amazon's still a nice way to contribute.

David and Tamler welcome author and environmental science professor Jennifer Jacquet to the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of shame. What's the difference between shame and guilt? Is shaming effective for generating social progress or getting tax cheats to pay up? Is twitter shaming on the rise or on its way out? And what does David do when he's alone in the dark?

But before all of that, David and Tamler introduce a new way to support the podcast--through our Patreon account (patreon.com/verybadwizards). Plus, we discuss the retraction of a press release announcing that a professor agreed to referee a journal article (!) And can one passage get Tamler, the eternal optimist, to hate philosophy?
