While Rachel Crawford was in town we spontaneously decided to record some improvised role-play dialogues as well as some post-roleplay commentary. Nothing was scripted out, but it ended up going really well so we decided to turn them into podcast episodes. In this episode you’ll hear Rachel play the pro-choice side against Tim twice, as well as our discussions afterward about what Tim did well and what could have been better.

Questions About Confirmation Bias

by

Download Audio MP3 | 00:51:12

Josh and Tim talk about confirmation bias and why that’s a difficult thing to avoid during this political season.

Some of the questions we respond to in this episode:

  1. How hard should we work to balance our social media feeds so that we see both sides of multiple issues when we log into Facebook or Twitter?
  2. Are there any pro-choice films that you recommend to anti-abortion thinkers? In addition, are there any pro-choice films you deem to be morally reprehensible and therefore undeserving of pro-life viewership?

If you usually don’t enjoy the pre-show banter, we’re going to encourage you to listen to it this time. It ends up directly tying with the main topic for the show.
