About Irrational Discourse

The Irrational Discourse podcast delves into topics ranging from the benign to the not-so-benign, in an inquisitive, respectful, and non-judgmental manner, with the somewhat naïve hope of restoring into our society a little logic, reason, civility, intellectual humility, compassion, inclusiveness, and rational debate. If we are all more willing to questions our own beliefs, recognize the magnitude of what we don't know or understand, confront our personal biases, and to swallow that little red pill and accept the possibility that our core beliefs might just be wrong, then maybe we can make the world a better place. All we need is love, determination, and a little help from our friends.

The Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (1-5)

We conclude season 1 of the Irrational Discourse podcast by breaking down the 5 greatest sci-fi movies of all time. While we fully recognize our own imperfections, we sincerely look forward to an off-season peppered with emails from the sci-fi faithful pointing out - in grotesque detail - the fallibility of our conclusions.

The Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (6-10)

Highly debatable, somewhat rational, and hopefully enjoyable, we decided to close out season one with a discussion on our top 10 sci-fi movies of all time. In this episode, we cover #10 down to #6, and likely incur the wrath of our fellow nerds and geeks worldwide.

Life Lessons from the Marvel Universe

(Not Explicit) Are superhero movies simply pure entertainment, or do some also present us with life lessons that we can learn from if we delve deep enough and look into the actions and attitudes of our favorite characters? Our guest co-host Joshua again joins us to discuss some of the more meaningful lessons we can learn from the MCU movies.

Existential Risks - Climate Change

Is climate change a hoax, or is humanity on the verge of bringing about its own extinction. From carbon dioxide to bovine flatulence, we discuss the various aspects of climate change and global warming in an effort to simplify a highly complex system to better understand the impact we're having on the only planet we can live on today.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
