Unpacking The Word Ep. 11: 'Awareness is Bliss'

7/14/2023

In this week's episode, Barrett and Luna tackle the recent Supreme Court rulings that declared affirmative action and student loan forgiveness unconstitutional. The court also ruled that a website designer has the right to refuse to create websites for same-sex couples, a decision that comes half a decade after the court ruled that a cake shop owner had a first amendment right to refuse to bake cakes for LGBTQ+ customers. Barrett and Luna unpack the corruption of the court and discuss the conservative tilt that the court has now. The rulings are upsetting and show a bleak future, but Barrett says it's better for people to be informed rather than ignorant, coining this week's phrase, "Awareness is bliss." Recorded on 7/7/2023.

Unpacking The Word Ep. 10: Let's Practice Kindness

6/16/2023

Barrett and Luna tackle the difference between being nice and being kind in this week's episode. This topic was inspired by a TikTok Luna saw that confused her because it framed being nice as harmful and being kind as helpful. Barrett explains that the video's creator takes the words "nice" and "kind" at surface level without attaching an underlying philosophy of good to both of them. Barrett also reconstructs a phrase about kindness, shifting it from focusing on being kind to practicing kindness. Recorded on 6/9/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.

Unpacking The Word Ep. 9: America's Loneliness Problem

6/1/2023

In this episode, Barrett and Luna dive into why America is so lonely, inspired by the publication of the surgeon general's advice for becoming less lonely in The New York Times. America's individualistic society promotes moving through life alone. Barrett and Luna say the solution is as simple as saying "hi" to your neighbors and changing the language you use when you speak with people. Recorded on 5/19/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.

Unpacking The Word Ep. 8: Feelings vs. Philosophy

5/19/2023

In Episode 8, Barrett and Luna tackle good parenting. They discuss what it means to be sustainable and nurturing as a parent. It starts with having a philosophy to do good things. Barrett gets into this idea by discussing his young son’s newfound obsession with cheese. Yes, you read that right. Barrett also reframes the idea that having a child is a burden on the parent. Instead, he says parenting is a collaboration with children, not a right to exercise power or control over them. Recorded on 5/12/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.

Unpacking The Word Ep. 7: This is Why We Need to Make Nice Things

5/5/2023

Episode 7 is all about what it means to be good and do good things. An objective good, Barrett says, is something sustainable and nurturing, like a good friend or healthy food. They unpack what good means in the workplace, and Luna introduces a new segment, "Reconstruct the Phrase," where Barrett restructures common phrases to emphasize the possibilities for good instead of focusing on the bad.
