Please explain why I’m paying to be a subscriber when every episode is a re-air of a 4-5 year old episode?

Failed to fact check the question on largest impact choice in our lives. Shameful. Clearly both Angela & Steven got it slightly wrong when happiness was not the answer. The research into how that is a choice I believe y’all have covered before even. I’ll fact check as much as this episode and leave it at that. I love the show! Hearing intelligent people investigate topics related to our world, even if I’m not sure I agree with the resultant, is a great experience. I appreciate that you share links to the research. Thanks so much for entertaining me week after week, you’re amazing, and the questions you tackle are slightly more relevant than “that’s absurd please elaborate” which I believe is a hijinks show with research, and this is a research show with hijinks.

Enjoy Angela but…

I’ve listened to this pod for maybe a year and as much as I want to enjoy it….Steven is a hater. He consistently hates on Angela in passive aggressive ways and occasionally aggressive ways in my view; It’s a pattern. I won’t be listening anymore I can’t enjoy it

Apparent review title.

Generally quality content. Annoying theme song. Additionally, based on Episode 27, I am disgusted by how Angela appears not to believe that apologies have intrinsic value and that one’s own personal perceived gain from not apologizing should be prioritized above the health of a relationship or other people’s feelings. Such a business- or gains-focused mindset has transformed this world into a place in which I do not wish to live.
