Join guests Jeannie Coyle and John Schuster as we discuss the nature of work. For many, work provides a purpose and an identity. Yet, many jobs and even professions are disappearing with automation and AI. Some governments are experimenting with UBI to compensate for the lack of jobs. But is work solely about earnings or do people need work to have happy and productive lives? And does the type of work matter?

We tell white lies all the time. We construct fables and myths to make sense of the world. We currently complain about a post-truth world, but have we ever really been truthful? Guests Julie Winkle Giulioni and Charles Feltman join Karen for an exploration of lying, whether truth and truthfulness are attainable, and what we can do to be better..

We can see what rapacious greed is doing, not only to humanity, but to our planet and all living things. This episode explores money - what is it exactly, why does it make people behave badly, and what can we do about greed and exploitation.

Featuring guests Peter Neuwirth and Gerald Harris.
