? EARS TO THE GROUND-

No topic is too controversial: Brain in a Vat is a philosophical series, hosted by Mark Oppenheimer and Jason Werbeloff, that opens intimidating, thought-provoking debates up for discussion.

Their gimmick is that each episode starts with a thought experiment. They spark a debate through a hypothetical situation with an ethical dilemma, like whether observing people in a public space from the privacy of your home is an infringement of their rights in the episode titled The Privacy Paradox. The question engages the listeners and sets the scene for the rest of the episode.

Bring in the professionals: The episodes feature diverse industry experts like philosophers Eric Samson and John Martin Fischer, who bring in academic knowledge to support their theories/ideologies regarding the topic of the episode.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
