We're back from our month-long break to explore the political philosophy of Machiavellianism. The revolutionary idea that traditional Judeo-Christian ethics are incompatible with politics was first brought up by the Renaissance era diplomat, Niccolo Machiavelli in his most famous work, The Prince. We discuss the content of The Prince, which lays out political ideas that have often been described as useful tips for tyrants throughout the ages. We also question whether Machiavelli himself really believed in the ideas he laid out in his leading work. Even if no nation or constitution has been founded upon the idea of Machiavellianism, it is undeniable that Machiavelli's work will remain to be a large influence in the field of political philosophy for centuries to come. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to listen to the episode, and we'll catch you all in the next one! 

Thanks for listening to the second episode of the Matcha Time podcast! This week, we tackle the topic of carbon capture. Both of us agree that this topic will need to be more vigorously discussed by everyone in the world as we desperately search for solutions to the climate crisis. We really appreciate all of our listeners tuning in to our conversation, and we'll see you again next week!

Thanks for listening to the first-ever episode of Matcha Time! In this episode, we break down and discuss the past week's most important news stories, and then discuss this weeks topic; urban planning. We got to talk about several different aspects of urban planning, as well as how it'll change in the future. This was our first time recording a podcast, so our audio might sound a bit low quality, but we'll make sure to make improvements for future episodes.
