028. The Art of Conversation | Dearest Delight
Ted and Joel have had a LOT of conversations, not only with each other, but also with the various guests of VENN. The script is flipped this week as Alyssa Boyd and Anne Maya Yalamanchili from the mini-magazine, Dearest Delight, interview Ted and Joel on what it means to have a good conversation. Winter is a time where we typically spend more time indoors with fewer people - typically, those we love the most. How do we get past small talk and ask questions that matter? How can we get past our own insecurities and social limitations to truly be vulnerable?

027. The Mindful Magistrate | Tim Fall
Tim Fall is a Superior Court Judge in California who faced a contender for his elected office in 2008. This challenge led Fall on a journey where he faced the greatest mental health challenge of his life. This experience transformed Fall, increasing his capacity for empathy and leading him to be a public voice for justice for the marginalized through his blog. Joel and Ted interview Fall on his career as a judge and the nature of the challenges he has faced in his career.

026. Dispositional Dynamics II
We’re back with one of y’all’s favorite (and least favorite) topics: personality testing. Ted and Joel discuss the results of some advanced statistical analysis of the VENN community, evaluate the advanced Enneagram approach of a “functional neurologist” (whatever that means), and develop their own personality model. Is this new model any good, or is it a load of baloney? You decide!

025. The Philosophy of Film | Caleb Sarber
Let’s go to the movies! Caleb Sarber is a philosophy-major-turned-film-critic who explores the intricacies of visual media, and he faithfully hangs out with Ted and Joel weekly in their fraternity, Brothers Under Film (BYΦ). What do movies teach us about ourselves? Is Joel crazy for only having seen his favorite films once or twice? What were the most under- and overrated films from the 90s?

We would love for you to leave us a (five-star) review on Apple Podcasts! -
024. Dispositional Dynamics
We’ve all been there. Enneagram. Meyers-Briggs. “Which Friends character are you?” These tests allegedly tell us a lot about ourselves, but do they really tell us anything? Are they actually useful in helping us grow and accomplish what we want to accomplish? Are there really only 4 (or 9, or 16) types of people in the world? Ted tries (and fails) to correctly guess Joel's StrengthsFinder results, while Joel gives a ghost-pepper level spicy take on all four-type personality tests. Additionally, Ted attempts to Enneagram-type the great powers of world order, in hopes of starting a viral Instagram account.

023. The Climate of Change | Dr. Katharine Hayhoe
2020 has been a wild year for Planet Earth, and many of us would like this roller coaster to end. Unfortunately, the threat of climate change looms over the horizon, and we have already seen its effects on our most vulnerable populations. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people and the places where we live. She is an endowed professor in the Dept. of Political Science at Texas Tech University, she hosts the PBS digital series Global Weirding, and she has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People. Joel and Ted interview Dr. Hayhoe on what we can actually do about climate change, as well as what to do when you run into Martha Stewart at an awards ceremony.
