Shaking up our rigorous PhD lineup here, I’m bringing in my best friend and fellow Temple student Duncan Brady to talk about the seven deadly sins in pop culture! Some of our favorite TV shows, Lost and The Good Place, address the sins, and we also watched Seven for this episode, so there’s all sorts of good stuff to look forward to. From whether Desmond Hume is indeed sinful to “What’s in the box?!” to the wonderful side of human mortality, we hope you enjoy this bonus episode. To avoid spoilers, here are timestamps to everything! Feel free to skip around: 1:36 – Lost 27:23 – A message from Duncan for those of you who haven’t watched Lost or gave up on it 28:30 – Seven (contains discussion of sexual and violent content) 47:31 – The Good Place

This week, we're bringing in Amanda Neuber, the Associate Director of the Honors Program here at Temple and a PhD candidate in Psychology, to talk about Pride. Amanda's research focuses on high-achieving students who have been taught to be proud of their academic accomplishments, but what does that mean when combined with pressure to perform, prestige of career options, and changing your major? Of course, we toss around possible answers to whether or not Pride is deadly, but Amanda raises a more important question: is Pride burning the smart cookies?
