Podcast Recommendations - 15/01/23

Some of my favourite podcasts this week

The Essential Sam Harris - Making Sense of  Foundations of Morality

I believe this is the topic where I most closely align with Sam Harris. Jonathan Haidt's views aren't incompatible with his.

People I (Mostly) Admire - #96: Steven Strogatz Think You Don't Know What Math Is

Steven could probably even get my girlfriend excited about Maths.

EconTalk - Ian Leslie: Being Human in the Age of AI

Ian inspired me to be more human - embrace creativity and disobedience of formula.

Philosophise This! - #173: Simone Weil | The Need for Roots

Imposing culture upon people never works.

This American Life - #788: Half-Baked Stories About My Dead Mom

A beautiful series of stories about a unique woman: the son clearly inherited much of her character.

Hold These Truths - If There's a Will, There's a Way | Jake Olson

Cancer at 8 months cost him his left eye, and an eighth remission at 12 years old cost him his right. I'm so lucky.

Honestly - Raw & Unclassified: A Friday Roundtable

Regardless of many ideological differences, I enjoy listening to Shadi Hamid.
