    A Pro-Choice Perspective on Abortion with Activist Bronte Remsik

    A Pro-Choice Perspective on Abortion with Activist Bronte Remsik

    In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with medical student and pro-choice social media influencer Bronte Remsik. You might know Bronte when she joined Micheal Knowles in an interview to debate abortion. (Link to the interview below!)
    In this interview, I wanted to speak with Bronte and attempt to cover the issue of abortion with more nuance and curiosity. We speak about what went wrong in her debate with Micheal Knowles and flesh out many different aspects of the pro-choice vs pro-life debate, such as having access to help, the impact of casual sex and our self-centred culture.

    How To Navigate Changing Belief Systems With An Open Mind With Comedian Jamie Kilstein

    How To Navigate Changing Belief Systems With An Open Mind With Comedian Jamie Kilstein

    In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak to comedian, podcaster and writer Jamie Kilstein who has developed his thinking in a very public way over the last few years. Because his story aligns so closely with the mission of Cylinder Radio, I thought he would be the perfect guest to talk about his life and how we got to where he is today. 
    During the episode, we speak about Jamie’s story of being a liberal and how he slowly came to questions all of his beliefs. We talk about how his thinking process developed, where he thinks that change came from and how aspects of religion and psychedelics helped him open his mind to change.

    In this episode of Cylinder Radio, Will speaks to The Minimalists. You might know Joshua, Ryan or TK from their Emmy-nominated Netflix documentaries, their podcast or one of several bestselling books, all about the art of millions living meaningfully with less. 
    During the episode, Will and the guys talk about the story of how each of them became the minimalists they are today.

    During their conversation, Will and Lou discuss Lou's new book titled "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" about how wokeness is killing comedy.

A True Teacher

So grateful to Will for his breadth of guests with a wide spectrum of viewpoints. The way Will interviews introduces new concepts, invites curiosity, and truly strengthens the fabric of our connection to one another. This podcast is where I go to learn, to get out of my echo chambers, and to find new thought leaders!

Great show

Wonderful discussions with wide range of topics, guests, and ideas. This show is an example of how to have nuanced conversation about complex social issues. I wish the mainstream media would follow the lead of many podcasts and long form interviews.
