  • What is Left Wing, Right Wing, and the Political Spectrum?
    Sep 20 2021

    Today, Corey talks Left Wing and Right Wing - what do they mean, and what exactly is the political spectrum? 

    It’s a shift from what you’ve heard so far on the podcast. We’re veering away from an interview format and focusing on going deep on specific ideas in a more story-telling, explorative format. That, and, we're also focusing on actually *defining terms*. Hope you enjoy the experiment! More coming your way. Stay tuned, and appreciate that feedback as always.

  • Western Food Culture
    Jun 26 2021

    This week Corey talks with Registered Dietician, nutrition professor and food enthusiast Amanda Li. Amanda talks about current food and diet trends that she likes (and doesn't), clarifies some diet/health jargon and drops a bunch of cool nutrition tips along the way. We talk about the popular but controversial carnivore diet, veganism, how to avoid kidney stones and why some folks can digest milk from some places but not others. 

    I recommend checking out Amanda's website, YouTube channel or Instagram for food insights and healthy, fun recipe ideas:
