I think that when I feel like I'm teaching at my best, it is where I'm showing positive excitement about a topic. And so they become excited about something they wouldn't have otherwise been. The real difference is that Tamlo and I approach these topics as real equals. If there's anything we model that I'm very proud of is that of vehement disagreement without bitterness or anger.
What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than to bring back our favorite guest – Paul Bloom! We riff on a series of topics: the new “grievance studies” hoax, sex robot brothels, perverse desires, and perverse beliefs. Then we get a little navel gazey (OK maybe more than a little) and talk about podcasting as a form of media and discussion, good teaching, and what we’ve learned about our listeners and ourselves. (Note: the audio may sound a little echoey towards the end because of how far we’ve crawled up our own asses.) This was a fun one, enjoy!
Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
