This episode features a clip from The Local's podcast Sweden in Focus where Richard Orange talks about the country's generous paternity leave and the effect it has on families. There's also a clip from Bill Maher's not-so-great podcast Club Random where Penn Jillette talks about evolutionary love for one's children. Nick Cave also reads a response he wrote to a fan who was concerned about bringing a child into the world in its current state on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. There are also birthday greetings to September babies from Tiktoker Soupy Garbage Juice (he’s released the full song but I didn’t realize it until too late to include the whole song on the show, also Ansel didn't turn out to be born in September. Doh!). And while not mentioned in the episode, I highly recommend Ric Burns' documentary about Ansel Adams.

This episode features a couple of clips from a really fun episode of Tyler Cowan’s podcast Conversations with Tyler. The guest is a favorite of mine, Paul Bloom, a psychologist who specializes in moral psychology, particularly in children. I pulled clips of them discussing at what age a child can truly believe in God, and another where they discuss the relative value of dogs, cats, pigs, and humans. The whole hour is great.

This episode features a clip of Bill Hicks' in 1988 talking about how all the good people always get murdered, but mediocre hacks live forever no matter what. I was reminded of this routine over the weekend when Trump was shot at but they just grazed him. This isn't the version I remember listening to, but I couldn't find the version from my memory.
