    EP 5: Can people really change?

    2020 has been a year of change. From the pandemic to the presidential election, it’s clear that the world will never be the same after this year – and neither will all of us who experienced it. In the season finale, Bill and Rashida explore how progress hinges on society’s ability to evolve, how our view of the world shifts as we get older, and whether it’s actually possible to change someone’s mind. Then they’re joined by two people who are using their positions as artists to change the world for the better: Bono and Kerry Washington.

    EP 3: Why do we believe lies?

    EP 3: Why do we believe lies?

    Honesty is a core value in most cultures. But humanity has always been obsessed with untruths, from little white lies to vast conspiracy theories. Bill and Rashida are joined by Sapiens author and historian Yuval Noah Harari to talk about why we’re so willing to believe falsehoods and what these lies tell us about ourselves—both as individuals and as a society.

    EP 1: What will the world look like after COVID-19?

    Ever since the pandemic started, we’ve heard the same refrain: we need to get back to normal. But what does “normal” even mean after such a history-changing event? Bill and Rashida discuss how COVID-19 will forever change our workplaces, our schools, and even our social lives. They also get real with NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci about what we can expect in the months ahead.

Perfect duo

I enjoy listening to Bill, but I always find him in all these different platforms and even though every time I hear him talk I feel more enlightened, by the end of it also makes me feel like it’s missing something, I guess it’s the format, fortunately with this podcast and Rashida that feeling will be gone. Rashida is the light comic relief that I needed in order to hear Bill predict the future, I know it can be terrifying but now at least we have Mrs Jones beautiful laugh to get us thru it.
