Very Bad Wizards is a podcast featuring a philosopher (Tamler Sommers) and a psychologist (David Pizarro), who share a love for ethics, pop culture, and cognitive science, and who have a marked inability to distinguish sacred from profane. Each podcast includes discussions of moral philosophy, recent work on moral psychology and neuroscience, and the overlap between the two.

Great show. It’s serious and absurd and informative and entertaining and also a bit degenerative—which is to say it’s perfect.
I need a supercut of the debates w/ Christina Hoff Sommers and any instance of Paul Bloom
Dave and Tamler are great to listen to but they seem to be putting less effort into the show and choosing low hanging fruit to cover. I would rather hear more episodes that are in depth discussions, instead of surface level readings of books or movies. I also feel that the podcast has become shorter over time. Longer and more in depth discussions would be an improvement.
The best Cormac McCarthy based podcast humanity has ever produced. A+
