A live episode with Una Mullally and Andrea Horan of the United Ireland podcast, talking exercises you can do to start creating utopia now.

I talk with archaeologist and co-author (with AEWCH 99 guest, David Graeber) of The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, David Wengrow!

I talk with master of horror Ramsey Campbell about credulity and violence in horror narratives. Happy Halloween!

I break down Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis/philosophy with theologian Peter Rollins + we discuss how it can be applied to culture/politics/economy.

I talk with the hosts of the wildly popular Weird Studies podcast about the philosophy of the weird.

To celebrate Michaelmas, I discuss what evil is (and isn't) and how to overcome it.

I talk with philosopher, historian, nature writer, and memoirist Philip Hoare about animals (especially whales), and nature (especially water).

I talk with journalist, author, and filmmaker Jon Ronson about walking away from snark, violence, and cruelty - even when we're anxious.

I talk about compassion and love with forensic psychiatrist Gwen Adshead, whose patients include serial killers and other violent offenders.

I talk with my best friend and (yikes!) ex-boyfriend - game designer and musician Jeb Havens - about the way love transforms us and also what a terrible boyfriend I was.
