The Necessary Devil: When the Appearance of Goodness Makes You Bad
Send us a text
After a tough week in this dystopian hellscape, Julie and Jarad discuss why everyone has to meet the devil—and why this is probably a good thing. They also discuss how chasing the appearance of goodness can lead to doing some really bad things. (And somehow they manage to drag Nathaniel Hawthorne into the conversation. Poor Nathaniel Hawthorne. He didn't ask for this.) This episode is a little shorter than normal, but they will back to their typical garrulousness and obstreperousity next week.
