In this episode, Zack interviews Tom Kuntzleman, professor of chemistry and Dean of Natural Sciences at Spring Arbor University. They discuss the importance of simultaneously being open and skeptical when having conversations, how best to manage biases, and approach discussion thoughtfully and respectfully, and the increasing divide in our country. They touch specifically on scientific discussion and how scientists should approach discussing with non-scientists, as well as how to apply these concepts to conversations revolving around religion, values, beliefs, and more. Tom brings a fantastic perspective to the show, and delivers a take-home message that really resonates with the core mission of this podcast.

Reds Ramblings invites the hosts of Say What Needs Saying to come and talk about social media and its impact on how freely information is spread whether true or not.

In this episode of 'Say What Needs Saying', our guests continue the conversation, with some focus on the question of whether or not addiction is a disease.

In this episode, Zack and Brandon are joined by recovery crisis coach and CNN Hero Award recipient Scott H Silverman, former substance abuse counselor Bryce Morrison, renowned addiction researcher and psychologist Kent Berridge, and an anonymous listener who has suffered with alcoholism in the past. Together, the panel discusses the increases in drug use and abuse that are being seen during the lockdowns put in place during the Coronavirus pandemic. They touch on several important aspects and topics, including whether addiction is a disease, how use and abuse may not translate to addiction, resources for those struggling, and so much more.

In this sidebar discussion, Brandon and Zack discuss 9/11. It is the 19th anniversary of that tragic day, and like every year before it, social media and the airwaves are cluttered with "never forget" and "always remember" images. These are more than likely rooted in good intentions, but have we as a society gone too far? Has the event been commercialized, or is it being used to milk patriotism out of people? Brandon brings a unique New York perspective to the table, and they discuss everything from "All Buildings Matter" to Auschwitz.
