  • Nick’s Non-fiction | Conscious
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    Annaka Harris, wife of world famous neuroscientist and academic Sam Harris takes us for an easy read defining consciousness. This NYTimes Bestseller analyzes ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ synchronicities and panpsychism. Scientists cower at the idea of intangible forces like love and consciousness, radio hosts on the other hand jump for joy over a topic you can explore with impunity. Take a trip inward during your isolation, embrace the psychedelia of the situation, hone that meditation practice because we’ve got our first break through experience on the horizon.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | Notes from Underground
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    In this very special bonus edition, we learn from the King of Quarantine how to survive self-isolation. Fyodor Dostoyevsky survived the firing wall and years in the gulag for many of his revolutionary works which were labeled as treasonous ideas. This dangerous introspection is what became the groundwork of modern psychology. A predecessor to Freud and Erikson, Fyodor explores the depths of mans consciousness and the best way to deal with the human condition here in Notes from Underground. Prepare yourself for an esoteric journey, I’ll be charging by the hour.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | The Feminine Mystique
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    In 2020 women graduate with higher GPA’s and earn more from age 25-35 than men. Betty Friedan, Margaret Thatcher and Beyonce would say the disenfranchised still have a long way to go. For Woman's Month we have one of the top selling non-fiction books of all time which is credited with mobilizing women to begin the second wave of feminism in the 1960s. As a lifelong columnist and activist, Betty shows you behind the mystic of the all-American housewife. Unfortunately, the doll house/romantic comedy reality we sell our little girls more often leads to depression than fulfillment.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | The Science Delusion
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    Aristotle was almost ran out of Greece for suggesting the Earth was round. Da Vinci and Newton had many household inventions that were destroyed by the crown to reinforce religion. Tesla and Einstein were coopted by the government to pursue nuclear bombs rather than free energy. Science works most ethically when in the hands of the people, not as a predictive tool to start a carbon tax on the middle class. Curtis White having worked in neuroscience, exposes the plethora of information about the brain we speculate on and how this is common in most sciences. Our most controversial episode to date will give you a healthy dose of skepticism in a world of fast answers.
