In this episode we talk about video games. What kinds of skills are involved in playing video games? Are such skills less impressive than the skills put on display by, say, athletes? Do video games offer only escapism or can they prove instructive for navigating life? Hear what we think.

Ep. 10 - Shooting the Shit: Abraham, Online Bullying, and Masturbation in the Time of Corona

In this inaugural "shooting the shit" episode, we're playing it a bit loose. We discuss the absurdity of God's promise to Abraham in the book of Genesis, online bullying, whether we could avoid the drive to masturbate if it meant we would contract coronavirus, and the little pleasures that come with teaching undergraduates. Hear what we think.
