Are We Recording?

Society EN ↓ 31 episodes

A show about what is happening around us, or things we find fascinating at the moment. We may discuss politics, or possibly a quack doctor who implanted goat testicles in people, promising a cure for everything. Topics can be current, or historical, and often one thing leads to another.

The one about the Capital Invasion 28.03.2021 1:04:03

There was this time when a bunch of angry white men invaded the capital, while dressed in costumes. This episode covers that crazy event, and meanders a bit around the insane politics of the times. Somehow, we forgot about this episode. Apparently we were so distracted by the events of that day, and the insanity that followed, distracted us from actually publishing this episode. Even though this...

The one about living a hundred years in the future or the past, the sunk cost fallacy, ill-advised total commitment to a public figure, and goat testicles. 22.03.2021 1:08:16

On the podcast we start out by discussing time travel, and whether we'd rather travel back in time, or forward in time. We somehow migrate to discussing lost Bitcoin, the role of luck in life, a Michael Lewis speech at Princeton, the myth of American meritocracy, commitment to incendiary political figures, the sunk cost fallacy, political tribalism, refusing to believe obvious facts, John R.

The one about Formula One, Niche Sports, Exploding Whales, and Tracy Chapman 29.01.2021 58:05

We had an idea for a new podcast. Actually, it was two ideas. Mark had one idea, and I had another. We thought we were on the same page, but we weren't. We initially thought we'd call the show the Rabbit Hole, and in this episode we definitely go down it. The discussion starts with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton , and proceeds to cover the insane world of kids and college sports , exploding wha...
