codex west podcast

mark and johnny react to the kavanaugh cloture vote, reflect on the larger rhetorical problems framing the discourse on social justice, and eventually argue that college should be free because it's worthless.

for this special edition of "at night", the gang is joined by jacob's father (barry) and johnny's momma (kim). we can't tell if this is an honest conversation about parenting and divorce, or just a major mistake to release. it's probably both.

jacob, johnny and jake finally sit down and talk about animal ethics, the good and bad arguments against veganism, and how you can still get swole without eating meat.

jacob, johnny and jake sit down and explain why there haven't been many pods lately. naturally, the conversation drifts into thoughts on woodworking, investing and bodybuilding. new stuff on the way!

jacob and johnny drink vodka, talk about dating, celebrity and metagaming tinder.

this week we talk about the best picture nominees for the academy awards, how the selected films relate to our cultural moment, and whether fish fetishists are furries.

Johnny is out this week, so Jacob and Mark talk about what the word "authenticity" means in cuisine, whether or not it's attainable, and why fusion restaurants blow.

we have also officially launched the codex west website, which is where you can find the article that accompanies this podcast, short contributor bios, and our RSS feed. it would mean a lot to us if you checked it out at www.codexwest.com
