Cultural Tourism the Millennial Way: South America by School Bus
08/17/18 • 53 min
Almost a decade ago, I traveled to San Diego to play in a World Series of Poker event. This kid sat next to me: headphones, beard, hat backward. I don’t usually talk to the players much, let alone 21-year-old college students, but this guy and I got on like a house on fire. He was just 21 and I was 50, but we found so much common ground, and we’ve been good friends since.
Cultural tourismThis worldly 20-something (now 30-something) has just returned from a nine-month trip "cultural tourism" through South America on a school bus. He visited the rich and poorest, indigenous and rural communities, artists, scientists, and politicians. The journey was Odyssian, with severe hardship, cultural clashes, injury, and danger: in this podcast, we barely capture the intensity. His stories will inform and touch your heart. Tune in for a different kind of conversation on Think Bigger, Think Better this week.

Fake News, Post-Truth, Filter Bubbles, and Trump
This podcast probes a culture of fake news, post-truth, Trump, and many of the other phenomena from the last few years that corrupt our “information space.” As information age citizens, we depend on good information (facts) to make decisions as voters and consumers. I’m discussing some of the more mind-bogglingly convoluted conspiracy theories and how the internet has allowed some of this claptrap to flourish.

Depression: How Can You Spot It? What Can You Do? With Steve Hollon
Our episode today covers depression, which affects one in six Americans. 20% of women and 10% of men will have an episode during their lifetimes. An important question is whether this may grossly understate the case; whether, because of stigma, depression is vastly under-diagnosed. Join me and Steve Hollon as we talk depression, diagnosis, medical treatment pros and cons, and what you can do to help yourself and those around you.
