09 — Challenging Black-and-White Thinking

For our very final episode of the year, we bring back return guest Alex Beckett, Business Editor for The Saint, and brand new guest Ren Smyth, a fourth-year philosophy student.

There's a brief but vigorous debate on the word "vibes" — and if hangovers are a state of mind.
