Podcasts about Questioning

In this episode of Cosmosis, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King are joined by philosopher James Madden, author of Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World. Jim has been part of this journey with us from the very beginning, appearing on The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast and in our docuseries Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality. Together, we take a hard look at the state of ufology and how belief, ideology, and language shape the way we think about the phenomenon. We ask tough questions: Has ufology become a kind of religion? What does it mean to practice good “epistemic hygiene” in a field so vulnerable to disinformation and self-deception? How can we avoid falling into old patterns of certainty while still honoring the mystery? This is a conversation about curiosity, responsibility, and the courage to sit with the unknown. Whether you're new to the field or a long-time experiencer, Jim's insights cut through the noise and remind us that sometimes the most important thing isn't finding the answer—but learning to ask better questions.

In this episode of GuyShrink, host Bill Roman and guests Tim Lusch, Chris Niebaur, and Jordan Valdiviez delve into epistemology—the study of how we know what we know—and why men should critically examine their thinking processes. Drawing from his background in neuroscience, Chris explains how the brain often confabulates explanations for actions, as seen in split-brain studies, and how many thoughts aren't truly our own, urging awareness to avoid detachment from reality. Tim emphasizes staying grounded in truth to extract meaning from life and avoid self-deception, while Jordan highlights the shift from automatic, culturally influenced thinking to deliberate modes fostered by mentors, community, and institutions (though critiquing their current failures). The discussion critiques wokeism as a power-serving ideology, praises Peter Boghossian's street epistemology for challenging beliefs, and explores truth as objective rather than subjective, warning against conflating feelings with facts. The conversation also touches on practical ways to improve thinking, such as reading widely (and multiple books simultaneously), writing to clarify ideas, and engaging in Socratic dialogue. They stress the dangers of unchecked ideologies, cancel culture in academia, and the value of virtues like courage and wisdom for pursuing truth.   Connect with the Guy Shrink Podcast across all platforms here: https://linktr.ee/guyshrink

Today's guest tells her story of birth trauma, postpartum preeclampsia, and how therapy helped her to process her emotions. I'm thrilled to have Courtney here to share her story and how she is helping other moms. Join us! Courtney Costello is a licensed master's social worker with nearly 15 years of experience in the field. She worked predominantly with families and children before having her son in 2023, when she became personally and professionally passionate about maternal well-being and mental health. After going to therapy for her own postpartum challenges (birth trauma and PTSD), she was inspired to be more of a support for others in the perinatal period. Combining her education and lived experience, Courtney now works as a perinatal mental health counselor in Buffalo, NY. In addition, she runs an online maternal mental health training for other clinicians who are interested in learning more about supporting mothers. This year, Courtney is acting as a co-leader for Buffalo's local Climb through Postpartum Support International.  Show Highlights: Courtney's “normal” pregnancy and the labor/delivery that did NOT go according to plan Labor/delivery expectations vs. reality Feeling fear with a sense of not knowing what was happening Finally, a healthy baby—and a blizzard rolls in to complicate everything and add stress Uncertainty and conflicting restrictions about leaving the hospital with their newborn son Driving home, getting stuck in a white-out, and finally making it to her brother's house A story of fear and multiple kindnesses from others A few days postpartum: feeling “off” and seeing floaters in her vision A diagnosis of postpartum preeclampsia and a hospital stay, but not much of an explanation from the nurses Getting home and facing fear and anxiety about being separated from her family Finding help with therapy with a therapist who was the perfect fit Questioning her return to her job and finding where she fits best in working with the perinatal population Finding healing and deciding to have a second child, which previously felt impossible Resources: Connect with Courtney Costello: Website, Instagram, and Psychology Today  Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

Kyle's Busch's remarkable 2015 comeback is an inspiring story of resilience and a determination to bounce back from disaster. As told here by Kyle Busch, a February 2015 crash left Kyle with a double compound fracture in his right leg and a broken left foot… and fears that he'd never race again. To the contrary, Kyle's intense recovery had him (painfully) back behind the wheel in May and winning his first NASCAR Cup Championship that November.

A raw examination of U.S. taxation's constitutional roots, hidden coercions, and parallels to feudal systems, questioning implied consent and calling for sovereign debate without illusions of freedom.In this episode of The Neoborn Caveman Show, NC delivers a passionate monologue critiquing taxation as an unsigned social contract, tracing its evolution from the U.S. Constitution's Article 1, Section 8 and the 16th Amendment to modern burdens that fund wars and elites. Drawing on cases like Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. and WWII's 94% rates, he argues for explicit consent at adulthood, exposes IRS weaponization, and compares today's multi-layered taxes to medieval feudal dues. Emphasizing pro-human sovereignty, he warns of neo-feudal techno-surveillance merging communism and fascism, urging vigilance to reclaim "We the people" against transnational corruption. Fact-checked insights highlight renunciation hurdles and Locke's tacit consent as presumptive slavery in disguise.Notable Quotes"You are not even allowed to question the system you never ever signed up for?""Social contract theory is a hallucination. It's an assumption, a presumption. Not real.""We the people, the best expression ever since Jesus.""America is the greatest idea ever since Jesus. If you don't believe me, learn history.""If we are not allowed to have a healthy question, we know that we live in tyranny in a totalitarian system against the people by the corrupt, lizard-minded, transnational and treacherous non-human entities and not the people."Support freedom by purchasing Canada's Mirage: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRYV6VJJ or The Digital Trap: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYWKLK2R/ and join the show's Patreon for more: https://www.patreon.com/TheNeobornCavemanShowFree speech marinated in comedy.Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Randy Silver speaks with Dariusz Dziuk, Product Lead for Music Expression at Spotify, about the origins and evolution of Canvas, the looping visuals that accompany music tracks. From early assumptions and first principles thinking to scaling and measuring marketplace success, he shares how a bold experiment turned into one of Spotify's most engaging features.Key Takeaways— Balancing Art and Science: Product management often lives between structured analysis and intuitive creativity—success lies in mastering both.— First Principles and Assumptions: Questioning defaults—like static, square cover art—can open doors to bold innovation.— Real Stakes Drive Real Creativity: Artist engagement with Canvas only truly emerged once the stakes felt genuine and public.— Marketplace Thinking: Canvas succeeded because it delivered value for all marketplace participants—creators, consumers, and the platform itself.— Innovation Through Structure: Weekly design sprints and rapid prototyping allowed Spotify's innovation lab to explore and discard ideas quickly, eventually landing on Canvas.— Scaling Insights: Measurable impact came later—higher engagement, saves, shares, and a new visual identity for music on Spotify.— Artist-Centric Focus: Prioritising the needs of the supply side (artists) can unlock cold start challenges and marketplace growth.Chapters0:00 – Marketplace Thinking at Spotify1:20 – Darius Jurek's Journey into Product2:45 – From Engineering to 0-to-1 Product Innovation4:00 – Is Product Management an Art or a Science?6:30 – The Brief: Connecting Creators and Fans8:20 – Building an Innovation Lab10:00 – Exploring Dozens of Ideas11:45 – Why Canvas Won Out13:10 – The Challenge of Validating a New Format16:00 – Questioning the Assumptions Around Cover Art19:00 – Real Stakeholder Feedback and Creative Buy-In21:00 – Marketplace Metrics of Success23:30 – Canvas and the Evolution of Music Discovery26:00 – Visual Design, Collaboration, and Artist Empowerment28:00 – Darius on Supplier-Led Product StrategyFeatured Links: Follow Dariusz on LinkedIn | Dariusz's website | Spotify | '#mtpcon @ Pendomonium 2024 Encore' recap Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

As the current iteration of the conservative movement continues to escalate its attacks on trans people in the United States, it does so by asserting that there are only two sexes and that one's gender is immutably connected to one's sex. It would be easy to assume this only harms the roughly 1% of the population who is trans, but in fact this harms us all. Drawing from his own journey of self-discovery and the people who inspired him along the way, Grayson will share what he's learned about gender, identity, and how breaking free of restrictive boxes is an essential component to the fight to build a better world for us all.

What happens when a nurse finishing up her PhD in evidence-based practice becomes a parent and realizes her own birth care was anything but evidence-based? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker take us back to the very beginning and shares how her first birth experience set her on a mission to change maternity care.

Episode 2677- Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss questioning the reasons behind slower weight loss for women, lab-grown meat, and fitness trackers. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/questioning-the-reasons-episode-2677 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Questioning the Reasons Vinnie is learning a lot about making kombucha. (3:00) He has discovered that he can reduce the sugar in it and still maintain great flavor. Reasons for women losing weight slower than men, even on a ketogenic diet. (9:00) Frontiers in Nutrition gathered the metadata, and this is what they found. Testosterone makes it easier to mobilize fat. Variations in the hormonal biochemistry occur in most women, making losing weight a larger challenge. (15:00) Low-carb/keto still works for women, but can be at a different rate, so consistency is key. Lab-grown meat. (21:00) They discuss the difference between lab-grown and fake meat (like Impossible Burger). They discuss the marketing and messaging behind the motivation. Climate change is a motivation, and they discuss inconsistencies in the argument. (28:00) Lab-grown meat still contains chemicals and would challenge the environment for different reasons. (37:00) The definition of an “ultra-processed” food: lab-grown and imitation meat qualify as this. You can watch Vinnie's documentary “Beyond Impossible” to learn more. (42:00) Fitness trackers. Vinnie isn't always a huge fan, but if it keeps people active and cognizant of their goals, he's fine with them. (44:00) The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate. They don't always work well for obese people, and the algorithm was designed based on thin, healthier people. (46:00) Don't get mad at the companies, just don't make yourself dependent on trackers. Rely on yourself! They discuss examples of what they mean by this. It's also not great to become obsessed with the data. That can have its downside as well.
