- Society & Culture
Whether you believe The Wire is better than Breaking Bad or want to argue who had the best verse on "1 Train," this podcast has something for you. Each day, I take a deep dive into a matter of societal importance or cultural influence. There's one catch. Each episode is its own diary entry to my father, who I lost at the age of six.

Let's go!

In episode nine, I use Ashley Fetters' "What to Ask Instead of ‘How Are You?’ During a Pandemic," as a starting point to discuss conveying your emotions in everyday conversations. How do we view the question of "How Are You?"
