Liontalk was a podcast that I host that covers both political and philosophical issues. I started Liontalk in my sophomore year at Penn State and recorded a total of 17 episodes (along with a special 18th episode in collaboration with Penn State College Independents). The podcast ran a little over a year from February 25th, 2019 to March 29th 2020. Since I am no longer a Penn State student Liontalk is officially over.
College Independents bring in special guest Alex Howlett to talk about Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Consumer Monetary Theory (CMT). At minute 26, Alex meant to say that the price of oil decreased rather than increased.
Welcome back! Today we are discussing the hot topic of COVID-19 and its impacts on health and the economy. We are also welcomed by two special guests, Alivia and Will, who are both economics students at Penn State.
In this episode we are discussing superheroes and idols.
In this episode we are discussing the health and social effects of various forms of vaping in both a high school and college setting.
In episode 14, we try to define the idea of "utopia" and why the term is potentially problematic to define. We discuss the idea of post-scarcity and the meaning of scarcity and how disastrous it can be for society. We also touch upon the ideas of death and how this cycle is important for society. Finally, we wrap up the discussion by talking about virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality and what that could mean for the idea of a utopia.
Episode 13 is a longer topic. We were not able to cover everything in detail but we tried to cover a few basic ideas. In this video we go over some recent foreign intervention news and discuss broader concepts and policies regarding imperialism and historic intervention. We also discuss viewpoints of nationalism vs. globalism through the lens of doing what is best for your country (and citizens) versus what is best for the world (and everyone as a whole).
In Episode 12, we briefly touch the surface of what it means to be happy. We plan to revisit this topic in greater detail, but we wanted to give a brief discussion on what defines happiness.
Episode 11 is a brief discussion on what the minimum voting age should be. We discuss representation, issues with requirements to vote, and our overall thoughts on the importance of voting.
Episode 10 attempts to answer an important question in society. Who is objectively good? How do you get to this point? Or is there even an answer to this question that we can come to a consensus on?
Episode 9 is a very brief discussion on Universal Basic Income (UBI). We wanted to give a preliminary analysis of some of the thoughts surrounding UBI which we will follow up in a more formal round table discussion on UBI in the coming weeks.
Episode 8 starts off discussions the intricacies of election anonymity with regard to donations and voting. We move on to discussing corporate money in politics and ranked voting.
Episode 7 focuses on the comparison between the number of freedoms a person has and the relative size of a government and how that impacts efficiency and the implications it has for that society.
