Hello, critical thinking friends! Please bear with us through some recent technical difficulties with hearing our show on Thursdays at 5pm...we hope those get resolved this week! This is especially true because Robin Frederick joined us in the studio for this week's show. Robin is the general manager at Forward Radio and we had her share some background about the social justice roots of our station and its mission. Robin is also a community activist who works in the areas of animal rights, sustainability and environmentalism, among others. Robin also shares some insights into "tiny house" living with her partner and her pets and what's it like to live almost entirely "off the grid."

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.

"Critical Thinking for Everyone" airs on FORward Radio, 106.5fm and forwardradio.org, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Thursday at 5 pm EST and repeats Thursday at midnight and Friday at 11 am. Please listen live at www.forwardradio.org/. Find us on Facebook at "Critical Thinking for Everyone".

This week's episode delves into Harry Frankfurt's well-known 2005 essay "On Bullshit" Yes, that's right--we consider Frankfurt's engaging discourse around the differences between telling the truth, lying and bullshitting and why these concepts matter. Although this seminal essay (there is a now a whole field of bullshit studies, we kid you not) is almost 15 years old,

First, celebrate the 150th birthday of the Periodic Table with us. Then hear about the likelihood that earth could be hit by an asteroid in the future (and what can we do about it). Learn about giant termite-mounds in Brazil, and a new disease attacking Beech trees in Ohio. The show finishes with Dr. Leslie Moise reading her new poem about this special tree. The poem was especially written for this show!
