My guest today is Dr. Heidi Pearson! She's a marine biologist and someone who had no idea I was going to ask about when whales attack rich people boats. But she was more than ready for the question! Her paper on whales and the carbon cycle caught our eye here, and the interview was definitely more about that but let's face it, we all want to know about the boat attacks first and foremost.

July 29, 2023 06:20 - 1 hour - 83.3 MB

"The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are? Great. Go tell your pastor.

July 06, 2023 08:26 - 55 minutes - 64.4 MB

Maybe this sounds like a "no duh" but it's not neceessarily so straightforward. There are plenty of people who believe that not saying certain words gives them more power and we ought not to be afraid of them. Specifically, when the context is informational and not at all meant to be offensive. Dr. Alan Smerbeck is here to present the science of slurs and bad words and the effects they can have on us.
