About this listen

Hi there! I'm Jo and this is my podcast, Truth-Seeking With Jo, in which I hope to reach the truth and show people how to reach the truth. I'd also like to show people what it means to have a productive conversation when there are disagreements, as it seems to be a lost art and I do believe that that fact can be incredibly dangerous. As Sam Harris said, “Everything from the maintenance of civilization to the moral progress of our species depends on a series of successful conversations.”

I'm hoping to have conversations on many different subjects, but I will likely focus on philosophy and politics. Just like my blog (www.mypeculiarblog.com), I will likely figure out some things as I flesh the podcast out. Any feedback is highly appreciated!

    Hi everyone! Very excited to finally be able to post this.

    This is the conversation I had with a good friend of mine, Karina Alce. We recorded this episode on March 11th, 2022. She and I discussed the COVID-19 pandemic, politics, philosophy, religion, and many more topics. Enjoy!
