  • Background music is awful

    Background music is enough to drive someone insane I just can’t take the repeating low muffled xylophone 3 notes over and over and over and over how do you think that’s a good thing.

    It puts you in a trance, I think most people listen to podcasts while driving, working in the yard, etc I had to stop halfway thru I can’t take it I wish I could finish it

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talk Isn’t Cheap: The High Cost of Lies and Gossip in Political Discourse (w/ Dr. Christopher Elias)
Q: What is the impact of gossip and rumor in the political realm versus the social realm?
In politics, the stakes are profoundly greater due to the larger groups involved and the visibility of politicians, which amplifies the consequences compared to social gossip.
Talk Isn’t Cheap: The High Cost of Lies and Gossip in Political Discourse (w/ Dr. Christopher Elias)
Q: Can you define gossip, rumor, insinuation, how maybe they differ and why it matters to know the difference?
Gossip is information about human subjects designed to influence how an audience feels about that subject, while rumor is any unconfirmed information. Insinuation suggests something without explicitly stating it, often to avoid legal issues.
No Place Like Home: Immigration Under Another Trump Presidency (w/ Dr. Maria Cristina Garcia)
Q: How should immigration policies evolve to address modern challenges?
Immigration policies must adapt to current realities, including recognizing vulnerabilities influenced by climate change and creating frameworks for humanitarian admissions that go beyond traditional definitions of refugee status.
No Place Like Home: Immigration Under Another Trump Presidency (w/ Dr. Maria Cristina Garcia)
Q: What is the impact of authoritarian regimes on migration?
Authoritarian regimes often encourage the migration of dissenters, presenting it as an opportunity while simultaneously using it to maintain control. This can lead to destabilization in neighboring countries and can be strategically utilized to export discontent or create tensions.
No Place Like Home: Immigration Under Another Trump Presidency (w/ Dr. Maria Cristina Garcia)
Q: Can you explain what forced migration is and what it looks like today?
Forced migration includes involuntary movement of people due to issues like war, authoritarian regimes, or environmental conditions such as climate change. These factors contribute to heightened migration challenges as resources diminish and conflict arises.
