We used to always say we wouldn't discuss politics but the past few months have definitely changed that perspective. We wanted to pick a big brain on the subject so this week we invited our good friend, Emily Small, to chat with us about politics, policy, and Justin Timberlake.It was an amazing conversation and we hope that everyone that listens feels empowered to have their voice heard.As we talked about in the episode Emily has started an instagram feed called "We.Are.The.Change.We.Seek" and it's a great way to expand your knowledge on all sorts of interesting topics and we can't recommend it enough.

This week we invite Dr. Jim Kline back once again to discuss his book (which we actually read) called "The Otherworld in Myth, Folklore, Cinema, and Brain Science." The book deals with some heavy topics in fun ways and uses psychological studies as well as stories from all over the world through different times to illustrate what he calls the "otherworld." Essentially an eternal world that exists alongside this one. It was a really fun and insightful conversation.
