David speaks with professor of management at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business Jessica Rodell about her research on busy bragging – and why you shouldn't do it. Then, it's Therapy Thursdays on a Thursday with therapist Gary Direnfeld. A conversation about a hair in Gary's food leads to analysis of righteous indignation. After that, we look at conspiracy theories with cultural history professor Nathan Radke, host of The Uncover Up Conspiracy Cast. Nathan shares what's in common with pinball and The Smurfs. (Spoiler: it involves satan, obviously.) Finally, foreign correspondent Tony Five brings us Proverbial Provincial News from Luton, England. Hosted on Acast.
