In part 2 of this 3 part abortion series, the guys discuss practical arguments for abortion. They discuss whether it should be legal, or whether the legality of it should even be our first concern. Finally, they talk about ways to actually reduce the number of abortions that occur. For Luke's Statistic about abortion rates in Colorado, visit https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/HPF_FP_UP-Reducing-Abortion.pdf See the links below for Zack's statistic on:Avoiding Poverty: https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/three-simple-rules-poor-teens-should-follow-to-join-the-middle-class/ Abortion Rates in Europe: https://fullfact.org/health/uks-abortion-rate-unusual-compared-other-countries/

In part one of this three part series, Chris, Luke, and Zack talk about abortion. In this episode, the focus is specifically on when the developing child should be considered a life. If you think we missed one of your arguments, make sure to stay tuned for the next two episodes - "What Is Practical?" and "What are the Exceptions?"

In this interview-style episode, we learn more about Chris. We leave nothing out, from his love for cigars and TV shows, to his personal philosophy that led to the creation of the podcast.

In this interview-style episode, we get to know more about Luke. We discuss everything from his view of Christianity and Buddhism to his favorite cartoon.

In this interview-style episode, we get to know Zack a little bit better. From his day job to his favorite books, get to know who he is as a person, and learn more about how this podcast came to be.

In this episode, Chris and Luke talk about the death penalty. Is it moral? Is it practical? The guys get into both of these discussions, and point out the differences between the two types of arguments: theoretical and practical. Eventually, Luke notices that, while he and Chris actually have the same view, they would be likely to argue about it over social media in a different world. Why is that? Listen to find out! Given the nature of this topic (capital punishment and crimes warranting the death penalty), listener discretion is advised.  Luke's stat about the cost of Capital Punishment can be found here!https://www.amnestyusa.org/issues/death-penalty/death-penalty-facts/death-penalty-cost

In this episode, the guys start off by discussing propaganda - how to recognize it, how to avoid it, and why it is so harmful. Eventually, the conversation leads to the effect of celebrities and businesses taking political stances, politics on college campuses, and much more.

In this episode, Chris, Luke, and Zack introduce themselves and their political beliefs. Each host gives a quick background about how they arrived at their current political ideologies, and explains what they want listeners to gain from the podcast. In a time where everyone has a political platform, learn to reach across the aisle to discuss politics openly and from a place of sincerity rather than anger.
