This show is a dive into Rolf Dobelli's engaging book "The Art of Thinking Clearly." Rolf points out dozens of ways in which blind spots and unconscious biases cloud our everyday decisions. Ever underestimate your abilities due to "swimmer's body illusion"? Or get stars in your eyes due to "survivorship bias"? Do you give in to "social proof" without a second thought?

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

On this Valentine's Day, we're got a special treat for you to enjoy! This week we welcomed Dr. Andreas Elpidorou into the studio to talk about his fascinating research on the benefits of boredom, frustration and anticipation! Andreas is a faculty member in the Department of Philosophy; his research combines philosophical and cognitive-scientific perspectives to give us insight into what makes 'a good life' as we strive to understand ourselves and our experiences, emotions and desire.

Derby season is the best time of the year in Louisville. But is it built on a foundation of suffering and cruelty? What is it like to be a thoroughbred race horse?

Recorded in front of a live audience of students in Environmental Ethics at the University of Louisville, Ethics Forward interviews Jenny Brown, author of The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals, about the ethics of horse racing and how we can envision a better alternative.

Your Host Joe & Annie have a mission! This isn't our conversation, its our Community’s Conversation!

Our show's mission is to offer hope to the still suffering alcoholics and drug addicts in our community. Addiction is the most misunderstood disease of our time. Addicts and alcoholics feel separate, different and alone in our society more than ever. We, as a show, are determined to dispel myths, misconceptions, and societal stigma of this disease and those afflicted by it. By tuning in weekly our listeners will be exposed to personal stories and tragedies from addicts and alcoholics themselves. In addition, our show's purpose is to transmit hope, awareness, and shed light on the growing population of those recovering from this fatal illness. By carrying a message each week of depth and weight on the topic of addiction, we aspire to make a positive impact on this ever growing epidemic that is killing people in record numbers in our city as well as globally.
