In the main segment of this episode, Josh and Ian discuss the ambiguous nature of freedom. They begin by defining freedom, its importance, and how it relates to liberty and our rights. They briefly discuss its philosophical roots and the difference between metaphysical dualism and monism. Finally, they go on to discuss negative and positive freedom.

On this week's segment of NBSNews, Josh and Ian discuss America's current issues with the Electoral College, it's implications, and whether or not popularity is an important value. Then they dissect and analyze the New Work Magazine essay "Here's Every Defense of the Electoral College - and Why They're All Wrong" from March of 2019.
