Happy New Year, 2026! Reflections on Season 1: 2.70
Welcome to The Prime Directive - we boldly go where most podcasts are afraid to go. We tackle topics that make you think, discuss with your friends, make you laugh, and question what you thought you knew. Our mission, simple. To explore this strange new world with curiosity instead of accepting simple answers. We ask that you listen with an open mind, look with your human eyes, transcend the algorithm, and step out of the echo chamber. Because someone has to put the "civil" back in civilization.
Eric, Admar, and Liesl discuss and reflect on the first year of The Prime Directive over the year 2025, the inspiration for starting it, and goals for 2026 as they begin Season 2.
Some topics include: Civility, kindness, road rage, mental health, and community building.
