2021-05-021h 41The Conduit#14 - The Role of Work in LifeWe spend such a significant period of our lives working. Given this, it only makes sense to ensure that work functions as a medium for helping us achieve many of the larger objectives we have in life. But how much can we reasonably demand from our work? Should a career offer us meaning, connection and opportunity? Or, is work just how we acquire money by trading away our time? These aren't simple questions. In this episode, Lyndon and Josh do their best to approximate some answers and talk about their own approaches to work and career.

The Podcaster's Guide to the ConspiracyThe Passing of Lyndon LaRoucheThis week Josh and M discuss the life (and recent death) of Lyndon LaRouche, someone who was a prominent conspiracy theorist in the late 20th Century (but no so much in the early 21st). From an imagined conversation between Elizabeth II, Queen of Auckland, and Jerry Garcia, to LaRouche's final advice to Baby Boomers, this episode ranges from one kind of absurd claim to another, because that was the life of Lyndon LaRouche in a nutshell.
