Weekly Why 012

"Radiolab is Scared of Poststructuralism"

Recorded 01-29-2012

Bad Philosophers: Kevin Saunders, Stephen Torrence

Okay, granted, it's been a very long time since our last "Weekly Why." They are not weekly, nor do they even strictly deal with explanations, questions, or anything that might involve "why." Even the index number "12" is not entirely accurate (there have been a few discarded potential Weekly Why's since 008, if you're curious). Put simply, the Weekly Why is just our way to share super rabbit trail content that didn't make it into a main episode (and bring up our episode/month* count a little). This time around Kevin had some critical thoughts regarding the very nature of the popular podcast / radio program Radiolab, in particular their unwillingness to dive deep into the issue of truth itself, even when they come face-to-face with it. Have a listen!
