Local theater artist and consultant Kate Bringardner joined us in the studio. As a fan of the show, Kate shared with us some of the ways in which critical thinking concepts have resonated with her as an actor. Thinking fairmindedly, focusing on purpose, extending intellectual empathy, and being open and asking questions are just some of the like-minded dispositions we explored. Kate shares some stories from the stage and her work with vocal and presentation coaching and...we have jokes!

We know as critical thinkers, an issue is NEVER settled, for new information and perspectives can always prompt us to rethink what we know. On that note, this show revisits the plastic vs. paper discussion from last week. New information came to light since last week's show that had us pondering new ways of looking at the impact of plastic, paper or reusable bags and what we put IN those bags. When it comes to making choices for our environment, do we focus on production, consumer choices or long-term impact of waste? Or all of the above? What's a critical thinker to do?

How many years does it take for the thin plastic bag that you've thrown away to completely degrade? How about 1,000 years? Yep. This week's show takes a critical look at plastics--how they benefit us, how they do not, and what we can learn from the research, practices and new laws around single-use plastics. As always, we aim to be instructive and make you think, and have fun along the way.

The economic system we choose is a strong influence on politics and culture, which in turn shapes our lives and our destiny. The economic system we have chosen is called The Free Market. But do we understand it. Have we taken time to evaluate it? Scrutinize it? Critique it?
