Podcast Recommendations - 26/03/23
My favourite podcasts of the week.
Making Sense of Belief and Unbelief
Sam talked to Sarah Haider, Megan Phelps, and Yasmine Mohammed. It also featured conversations with Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson and finished with two Q&As. I loved this compilation.
EconTalk - Megan McArdle: The Oedipus Trap
Rather than accept they have created unimaginable harm, humans will deny the evidence.
Lexicon Valley - Age, Colour, Origin, Material
My instinct to order adjectives correctly is invisible to me.
Honestly - Tyler Cowen: Bank Runs, Crypto Scams, and World Transforming AI
I would happily listen to a Tyler podcast guest appearance every day. I should spend more time using ChatGPT.
Conversations with Tyler - Tom Holland: History, Christianity, and the Value of the Countryside
Tom had a child-like enthusiasm for history, best exemplified when discussing dinosaurs.
Philosophise This! - #177: Susan Sontag | Do you speak the language of pictures and videos?
People imbue credence to an image they wouldn't give to the written word.
The Daily - Our Film Critic on Why He's Done With the Movies
Marvel killed cinema for him.
The Fifth Column - #399: Dumb Debates, Dodgy Dispensaries, Paying Pornstars, Filtered Photons
Sometimes the team hesitate to openly criticise morons with whom they interact. Not so with the charlatan, who did her best impression of a debater opposite Kmele.
Jamie Weir made me positive about Tottenham - no small feat.
