• What is Left Wing, Right Wing, and the Political Spectrum?
    Sep 20 2021

    Today, Corey talks Left Wing and Right Wing - what do they mean, and what exactly is the political spectrum? 

    It’s a shift from what you’ve heard so far on the podcast. We’re veering away from an interview format and focusing on going deep on specific ideas in a more story-telling, explorative format. That, and, we're also focusing on actually *defining terms*. Hope you enjoy the experiment! More coming your way. Stay tuned, and appreciate that feedback as always.

  • Western Food Culture
    Jun 26 2021

    This week Corey talks with Registered Dietician, nutrition professor and food enthusiast Amanda Li. Amanda talks about current food and diet trends that she likes (and doesn't), clarifies some diet/health jargon and drops a bunch of cool nutrition tips along the way. We talk about the popular but controversial carnivore diet, veganism, how to avoid kidney stones and why some folks can digest milk from some places but not others. 

    I recommend checking out Amanda's website, YouTube channel or Instagram for food insights and healthy, fun recipe ideas:

  • Critical Theory, Progressivism and the Rise of Cancel Culture
    May 9 2021

    Welcome to Define Your Terms! I'm your host, Corey Sleep. 

    Here at DYT we seek clarity on cultural thought. We’ll spend time thinking as we both challenge and celebrate the cultural milieu of our rapidly evolving and globalizing world. 

    Today we talk with Peter Kupisz about critical theory, progressivism and the rise of cancel culture. Peter is a Christian apologist and speaker who runs his own ministry called Worldview Summit (see his website and social media below). Peter mentions some conservative and progressive voices towards the end of the episode; you’re encouraged to check them out if you want to engage at all in the cultural conversation. 

    Both Peter and I want to hear from you! Thoughts on what we talked about? Agree passionately? Disagree vehemently? Did we miss something? Hit us up!
