このコンテンツについて

 It’s about the ew in the new.

Ew, people. Yes, the new can shock, disgust, and scare us. The new, or change, can be ugly. But the new happens.

Sometimes, the new can suddenly make our routines ew to us, provoking us to change. New technology or surprising world events can make the usual ways of doing things, thinking, and believing feel ew or unbearable.

What’s new can also creep up on us. It’s not until our everyday habits become ew to us, sources of misery and boredom, that we begin to realize, “Oh shit, something new has happened.”

The new can also be thrilling. It can make us feel alive.

So, what is it? Why do we (not) want it? How do we become new, people (see what I did there?). How do we accept the new in our lives, and how do we make new things happen in our lives?

Through solo commentary on new and shocking ideas in books, music, art, and film—and interviews with aspiring new, people—Tony explores how change feels to us and all the things we can do with the new.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. 人間関係 社会科学

    2025/12/13

    Host Tony Hoshaw opens with a viral Donald Trump claim about immigrants eating pets and uses it to explore how we dehumanize people by turning them into "animals."

    He traces his own journey from a hunting childhood to a Christian conversion and tentative vegetarianism, shares stories of his companion pets, and criticizes careless hunting and factory farming.

    The episode brings in thinkers—Derrida, Ken Stone, Carol J. Adams, Val Plumwood, and Martha Nussbaum—to discuss animal sentience, the predator–prey dynamic in the Bible, and the ethical implications of edibility and sacrifice.

    Hoshaw argues for treating sentient animals as beings with species-specific lives, calls for more compassionate practices, and closes the season asking listeners to "rest from cruel dominion" and rethink our relationship to animals.
