Zuby is joined by Canadian combat veteran, author, and podcaster Kelsi Sheren. Kelsi breaks down Canada’s MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program, explaining how it expanded from terminal illness into mental health, disability, and even minors. Drawing on her lived experience as a veteran who survived PTSD and traumatic brain injury, she challenges the idea that death is compassion and argues for hope, treatment, and true care. The two discuss culture, faith, morality, government incentives, and why Canada has become a global warning sign.

Laura Delano is a mental health advocate and the author of 'Unshrunk'. Laura shares her personal story of spending over a decade entrenched in the American psychiatric system, from early diagnoses and heavy medication as a teenager to becoming a 'treatment-resistant’ patient in her twenties.

Zuby chats with Larry Sanger, philosopher and co-founder of Wikipedia, to discuss the origins and evolution of one of the world’s most influential knowledge platforms. Larry reflects on his role in building Wikipedia and explains why he later became one of its most outspoken critics. The conversation explores how bias appears on Wikipedia, why claims of neutrality often break down in practice, and the cultural and political consequences of centralized information power. They also examine whether true neutrality is even possible and why competition may be the only path forward.
