  • Binge worthy

    I had been meaning to listen for a while, and this year remembered to add the show. I have since binge listened from 2022 and am almost up to date now.

    Great show, a broad range of topics, well researched and an informative variety of guests.

  • My English listening practice

    I simply LOVE this podcast. Every episode is sooo important to advise us about our own mind and existence in society and for me it is even more special because I started to listen this podcast with Sana Qadar (LOVE YOU QUEEN, THE BEST) when I was living in Australia (I’m from Brasil 🇧🇷), and now that I’m back to my country, I’m still listening as my English listening practice... I have no words to be grateful about all the AMAZING CONTENT! Thank you so much for all the producers 🙏🏽🥹 And I’m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Daddy brain: how parenthood changes men
Q: For those who want to be a really great dad, what are the key factors or behaviors that they can make sure they're doing to enable that?
Saxbe recommends getting hands-on experience through childcare, play, and repeated time with the child. Practice helps fathers learn their baby, develop caregiving confidence, and become more sensitive and empathetic; there is no single age when fathers must begin being involved.
Daddy brain: how parenthood changes men
Q: So you scan the brains of dads pre and post baby's arrival. I want to know what differences did you see in the brains?
Saxbe says fathers show small gray-matter reductions across the brain, especially in mentalizing pathways that help them interpret others' intentions. The amount of change varies and is associated with how involved fathers are in childcare.
Friction-maxxing: does more effort = more value?
Q: What is so bad about all this friction disappearing from our lives?
Jezer-Morton argues that avoiding effort can obscure the point of activities such as talking, reading and making things. Working through difficulty is part of human experience and can support flourishing, rather than simply making someone more productive or successful.
Friction-maxxing: does more effort = more value?
Q: At what point did you start to realize that technology was kind of eliminating a bit too much friction from your life?
Kathryn Jezer-Morton says the realization developed over the previous two or three years, becoming especially clear as she saw students use summaries instead of engaging in demanding classroom conversations. She also noticed convenience dissolving family routines and designated time.
Mental health and the manosphere
Q: How do you facilitate a conversation around gender then? How are you holding that conversation and carrying it along?
Vasiliou says workshops build boys' confidence and language before discussing gender equity, equality, healthy relationships and consent more directly. Facilitators encourage boys to examine their beliefs and consider positive role models.
