Turn On The Mic

Episode #8 - Ecology (3/17/19)

The People On The Mic — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 01:39:18 +0000

This podcast is a bit different than most of the rest. In this episode, we discuss ecology, the philosophy of ecology, and the impacts of ecological thinking.

Episode #7 - Personal Philosophies, The Ego, and Other Thoughts (2/16/19)

The People On The Mic — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 05:14:10 +0000

In this episode, we did something a little different: instead of talking about politics, we talked much more about how we think, the way we see the world, philosophy in general, and the ego. It was a lot of fun, so we will probably do more podcasts like this in the future!

Episode #6 - Education, The Midterms, and The Turmoil in France (12/16/18)

The People On The Mic — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 04:40:54 +0000

We finally talk about the midterms in this episode. We also get into talking about education, which is something we all feel strongly about. Lastly we talk a little bit about the current turmoil in France, in addition to a few other short detours in conversation, as usual.

The People On The Mic — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 03:43:06 +0000

In this episode of Turn On The Mic, we discuss a wide range of topics related to climate change including but not limited to: Why people deny climate change, and some possible ways to get through to those people, some of the implications of varying degrees of dealing with climate change. Additionally, we touch on the current events in Brazil and we talk a little about Education, which will be featured much more heavily in Episode #6.

Episode #4 - Guns and Public Intellectuals (10/21/18)

The People On The Mic — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 05:29:24 +0000

This week on Turn On The Mic, we discuss public intellectuals such as Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Bret Weinstein, Noam Chomsky, and several others including the so called Intellectual Dark Web as a whole. We talk about what they are doing, their criticisms, fair and unfair, and their impact. We also talk tangentially about foreign policy. Then we talk about guns, gun control, and violence in American culture. As always, any constructive criticism is much appreciated, and the same goes for thought provoking questions.
