Today on the show I'm speaking with another longtime friend of mine, Nick Ross. I met Nick while we were working for the same music store in Nashville.

You could probably say that we didn't like each other when we first met and looking back, I was just not a good manager. When we stopped working together, he and I beca...

Today on the show I'm talking with Samuel Thomas. Sam is a longtime friend of mine I met while we were both attending college in Phoenix.

Things are really bad right now in the United States, both domestically and on the world...

This week we're talking about Truth, as in capital T truth, and what happened to it. It's a deep question. We examine truth from the lens of continental philosophy, taking into account the ancient philosophers that French intellectuals were problematizing and answering to.
