Our culture is in crisis and I don’t trust woke universities and authoritarian governments to give us the solution. I examine modern culture through history and anthropology, as well as other sources like indigenous knowledge and common sense. This is a show for those who love academics but hate academia, and want to learn about social studies without the constraining limits of woke universities.

Unable to download shows

Not sure why, but I get an “unable to download” error on almost every episode. Forced to listen on other platforms, but I really enjoy the show.
