Rostrum
It's becoming increasingly important to not only become intelligent, but also wise. In this podcast, Spencer and Arjun tackle contemporary topics through the lens of students early in their academic careers. They incorporate experiences from their personal lives, scientific papers, and philosophy in order to create a space for rational reflection. Just don't forget that they don't know everything.

The Erosion of Communal Spaces
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the pilot episode, Spencer and Arjun discuss issues with social roles and the slow decline of third space in our communities. They toss around possible causes, like the toxicity of social media, advertising, modal confusion, and creativity. Ultimately, the conservation points toward a need for spaces where people engage in connective and meaningful conversations - in other words, a rostrum.
