  • Living for Pleasure

    Living for Pleasure
    Jul 22 2024
    Over 2,000 years ago, Epicurus, a Greek philosopher, made a simple yet bold claim. The key to the good life, he said, is to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. Is it really that easy? To answer that question, we turn to Emily Austin, a professor of philosophy at Wake Forest and author of “Living for Pleasure: An Epicurean Guide to Life.” (This episode first aired in January 2023.)

DRUGS episode: Bashing the Mentally ill

I really tried to keep a open mind for the "Drugs" episode that I listened to on another platform first. People with mental illnesses are "Non adults"? Are you kidding me? How in this age, can both the host and the interviewee be so ridiculously tone deaf and repeatedly refer to those who might suffer from genetically inherited mental illness issues "non adults" who chose not to "grow up". What great "science" they chose to spew on their platform. I'll never listen to another one of these again and hope that they choose to do better journalism in the future that more responsibly talks about a significant portion of the population that has already suffered enough bias.
