Episode notes

This is our 150th episode, and podcasts themselves have undergone quite a transformation. I think what we were doing when we started this was regarded with mockery by a lot of people but now it's become more respected. There does seem like something about podcasts that allow people to really wrestle with things in a more complex and nuanced way. It might be scary that we've matured over the course of this podcast because changing is a weird, scary thing.

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.
