Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's All About Food: Élise Desaulniers: The Lives We Ignore
Q: Is there a potential to end kidney shortages by paying donors, and what are the ethical implications?
She discusses economic barriers to donation, the idea of paying donors to solve shortages, and the ethical concerns about exploiting poorer communities, ultimately suggesting that removing financial barriers could dramatically increase donations without resorting to compensation.
It's All About Food: Élise Desaulniers: The Lives We Ignore
Q: And what motivated you to donate a kidney to a stranger?
She was inspired by a personal pandemic-era project, the possibility of anonymously helping someone in need, and the belief that donating a kidney is a meaningful way to reduce suffering.
It's All About Food: Élise Desaulniers: The Lives We Ignore
Q: My question is, when you translate, do you do it by hand or do you use a translation program and then clean it up?
She uses a combination of AI and human editing, noting that AI speeds the process but final clean-up is done by a person.
It's All About Food - Melanie Joy, PhD, Practice Integrity
Q: Briefly tell us how to end injustice everywhere and how it relates to other solutions.
It's one part of a broader, interconnected approach. The book emphasizes understanding the psychological roots of injustice and complements the work of activists rather than claiming all solutions, aiming to integrate compassion, nonviolence, and relational skills into broader systems change.
