For this week's Scatterbrain Session, Joel and Matt consider the finer points of saying goodbye.

Just what have we been doing this year, and why have we been doing it? This week, Joel and Matt reflect on the past year's topics, arcs, and tangents, from the wonderful addition of a Humanist Perspective, to the lugubrious days of Stuck in a Rut. 

This week, Joel and Matt are joined by musician, artist, and small business owner Justin Arena to discuss underground and "countercultural" community. Make sure to check out Justin's work in the following locations!

What is (unconditional) love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more! This week, join Joel and Matt on a quest to determine what unconditional love is, how it differs from conditional love, and if it can even exist.

This week, join Joel and Matt for one last recording in Joel's studio. It was a wonderful place of many late night symposia (and the birthplace of this very podcast). 

Is it altruistic? Matt has his doubts! Make up your own mind after this week's Scatterbrain Session!

For this week's Humanist Perspective, Joel and Matt consider the difference between beliefs and values. Episode 5 of 6 in our limited-time discussion series on humanism (co-sponsored by the Liturgists).

A Humanist Perspective was conducted live every Thursday, January 6th through February 10th, with discussion groups focused on non-ideological approaches to community structures. Following each live show, Joel and Matt recorded a special "topic debrief" on Black Market Therapy.

This week, Joel and Matt scratch their way up the side of another philosophical crevasse!

For this week's Scatterbrain Session, Joel and Matt dive into the benefits of healing oneself by retracing one's steps.
