My guest is Michael A. Wood Jr., former military and Baltimore PD, now acts as a policing consultant and advocates for a massive overhaul of policing in the US. Radical might be a light term for his ideas, and he's very much worth listening to on this topic. Plus, GTFO and Negotiation Dojo is back in session.

Jeanne Ikerd joins me on Reasonable Risk this week to discuss a very personal topic that comes with unique risks, rewards and decisions - polyamory. Plus, the negotiation dojo is back and we answer the burning question - can a couple actually live in New York City on only $500,000 a year?!

This week on Reasonable Risk I'm joined by Andrew Torrez, co-host of the Opening Arguments podcast. Andrew is more than just a podcaster, he’s also a Harvard Law alumnus who takes his podcasting knowledge far beyond his own show, as the attorney for many other successful podcasts. This conversation covers a lot of ground, and it is a gold mine of information.

This week's guest is the prolific author, podcaster, and trans activist Marissa McCool. Ris has faced and continues to face risks every day of a different type and level than most of us, as an outspoken activist for trans rights.

Plus, Maxim wants men to believe their partner is happier the uglier the man is, and a life changing way to look at time.

This week, credulity reigns on Facebook, negotiation lesson 2, and a a conversation on recidivism and other risks and misperception of risk in the criminal justice system with forensic psychologist and co-host of the Chasing the Mind podcast, Dr. Angela Johnson.

This week on Reasonable Risk we have our first in-studio interview…and it’s a 3-way!  Straight from the halls of that liberal atrocity known as higher education, I’ll be chatting with Jeremiah Traeger and Ari Stillman of the SJW Circle Jerk, who joined me at the temporarily named Riskhole Studios for a conversation about how we think about crime and punishment, particularly as it relates to free will – or our lack of free will.

My guest this week is Phil Ferguson, host of the cleverly titled Phil Ferguson show. Phil is an investment advisor and an atheist / humanist speaker and podcaster. His weekly segment “Investing Skeptically” is full of great information for those with a penchant for rational thought to apply that thought and skepticism to personal finance and investing.

Plus a new segment on negotiation - how even YOU can be a better negotiator.

The first "MINI" episode of Reasonable Risk.  These MINI-episodes will fill in some of in-between weeks of Reasonable Risk's intended bi-weekly schedule.  The style and subject matter of the mini-episodes could be...just about anything!

In this MINI-episode, I rant and gripe about the hypocrisy of my neighbors on both the right and the left, who are joined together to fight the good fight of NIMBYism.  "Not In My Backyard" issues make strange bedfellows.

The discussion of gentrification referenced in the episode is available now - The Podunk Polymath Podcast - Episode 51 - Reasonable Discussion of Gentrification
