The Need to Know Morning ShowA Witty Hump Day Wake-Up (07-16-25)In this high-energy, often hilarious midweek edition of the Need to Know Morning Show, Kevin and Alex breeze through hot topics with their trademark banter.

NonProphetsEp. 56: Straight Outta ChumptownEpisode 56 of the NonProphets podcast, in which Atief, Robert, and Scott discuss "the backfire effect"—the fact that people sometimes seem to hold ideas even more firmly after being confronted with evidence they are wrong.
