The Nevada Independent's Jon Ralston breaks down the various races happening in Nevada in the midterms.

It's always fun when you get to talk to somebody that you haven't spent time with on an intimate level and he's the guest today, Dr. Jerry Smith. I've known Jerry for 25+ years and we've had lots of conversations over the years, just usually in a museum setting. 

Here is an individual who was literally moving boxes on the night shift for almost ten years in his twenties and when he turned 30  he said "I've got to do something else" and had this epiphany. We talk about that epiphany and how a single image, a single painting, could change the way you see the world. There's nothing wrong with moving boxes, and thank God we have people that'll do it, but if there's a gift there that hasn't been explored and gets to be explored as it did in Jerry's case, I mean, now that's a special show. 

So this is a very fun and interesting podcast. He's a very animated individual and loves what he does, and rightly so. He's good at it.

North Korean defector and human rights champion Yeonmi Park speaks with Stephen Blackwood about her journey to freedom: first from an oppressive political regime, then from slavery in China, and then from her own inner humiliation and fear. They speak about agency, resilience, and redemption, as well as the life of the mind, our need for others, and, above all, the relation between freedom and truth.

What connects truth, imagination, and freedom? Stephen Blackwood talks with philosopher-theologian Douglas Hedley about the human mind and its participation in a fundamentally knowable universe. The conversation begins with an introduction to three foundational aspects of the Platonic tradition — beauty, nature, and self-knowledge — and to the influences of that tradition throughout history, extending from modern science and the Enlightenment to contemporary understandings of beauty and human rights. They discuss the mind's extraordinary and complementary capacities of imagination and rationality in making and understanding the world. They conclude with a discussion of dominant contemporary ideologies — both materialist determinism and the philosophies of power — and consider ways of regaining a more adequate standpoint.

In Part II of their conversation, Stephen Blackwood and Iain McGilchrist discuss questions of theology, science, and philosophy, including: the shared nature of human life, revealed anew by the COVID-19 pandemic; 'unfolding' as a metaphor for actualization; freedom, necessity, and reason; and the fundamental role of the humanities in a thriving culture.

Did you know that non-violent offenders of the law are now increasingly exposed to the COVID-19 cirus in crowded prisons? Host David Gornoski is joined by Anrica Caldwell and Amy Ralston Povah from CAN-DO Clemency, and together they discuss how to bring about true justice and CAN-DO Clemency's mission of advocating clemency for non-violent drug offenders.

Also, David Gornoski brilliantly explains how we can become the modern-day embodiments of the good Samaritan that Jesus envisioned.

A conversation between Iain McGilchrist and Stephen Blackwood: Dr McGilchrist gives a brief summary of his account of the two sides of the brain and then the two discuss how that account offers a powerful interpretation of the contemporary world.

In this lecture for the Temenos Academy in London, delivered on June 19th, 2019, Stephen Blackwood offers a powerful reading of the ancient Roman writer Boethius and his magnum opus The Consolation of Philosophy. After tracing the Ancient Greek roots from which it draws, Blackwood sketches the Consolation’s investigation of how the individual can attain self-possession and true fulfillment amidst injustice, misfortune, distraction, and the inexorable movement of time. Blackwood also shows how this perennially influential book, written as its author faced unjust imprisonment and torture, relates the inner life of the individual and the wider cultural renewal with which it is intrinsically connected.
