  • When to Tell a Story Out of Order
    2025/04/24

    Would Casablanca have been as good if it started in Paris? Ben, Logan and Sara ask why you should tell a story out of order, using flashbacks, flash-forwards and a handful of stranger options. Naturally, Christopher Nolan Films feature prominently, but so too do classics from the Godfather Part II to Mozart's Don Giovanni. We consider the pitfalls that make a brilliant use of time in one film an unnecessarily confusing gimmick in another. We explore the difference between obscurity in one sense, and mystery in another. Finally, we consider the usefulness of telling a story out of order in TV shows, Books, Plays, and even Music and Painting! We hope you discover something about storytelling across media.

  • The Right to Own a Pet (Trade-offs and Incentives in Public Policy)
    2025/03/24

    Sara, Ben, Mike and Logan embark on a broad discussion that goes to the heart of public policy making and comes back again.

    We begin by taking a situational test designed to assess the social skills of prospective Veterinarians. And we continue by asking the hard questions that get to the marrow of the issue.

    Should a veterinarian treat a patient with sub-standard care if their client (the owner) cannot afford better?

    Should you help someone even if may cost you your job?

    Should People have the right to own a pet? What would it cost to help pet owners with necessary care? Should people have a right to childcare? Under what conditions can a society give a right?

    Are externalities a good way to assess public policy?

  • Philosophy Club Afterthoughts! Mansplaining
    2025/01/20

    In this first of its kind episode, Kyra and Mackenzie revisit the "Mansplaining" episode of Philosophy club.

    Mackenzie initially argues against the usefulness of the term and bemoans that the label Mansplaining tends to end conversations and close minds.

    Kyra counters that the label Mansplaining contributes to an ongoing journey of cultural self-discovery. Kyra refers to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s idea: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
