Society EN ↓ 31 episodes

Jeff Bridge's iconic character "The Dude" asks us to simply "take it easy man." Loosely based on the tenets of The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, host Chad Bartalone sits down with people working to embody a Dudeist vibe, wondering out loud the tough questions about life, our interaction with the world and those we share it with, modernity and our responsibility as humans, and cultivating humanity itself. Through deep contemplation, asking questions that outlive any possible answers, each session seeks to shine light on topics that beg for the world to continue.
