Where's The Mic

#3 Fool Me Once - Forgiveness, Neural Pathways and Prison Systems


Listen Later

We can't quite believe ourselves but, welcome back to the THIRD episode of "Where's the Mic"! In this episode we discuss a catchphrase that we think you can all relate to "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame of me".

This episode gets started with an iconic scene from Sex and the City, and somehow ends up with us discussing the incarceration system. Along the way we also debate; Eurovision, cheating, forgiveness, rationalisation, neural pathways, positive reinforcement, juvenile centres and a cost/benefit analysis of rehabilitation. As always we’ve linked below any references of mentioned articles.
