This episode, we are analyzing some of the most popular cliches and giving you our hot takes on which ones hold up, which ones need to be taken only in a specific context, and which ones are reductive, unhelpful, or just need to be retired.

    Episode 112: Moral Alignments

    Those who know us know that we love analyzing personality types and literature. So when we found the chart for the 9 moral alignments, we thought that would be another fun framework to explore. This week, we are talking about the moral alignments and what they mean to us and to our favorite characters. Confession time: When we decided we wanted to record this episode, we soon discovered that we knew very little about the origin of this alignment system, or even the fact that it originated in Dungeons and Dragons. So naturally, we reached out to a friend with more experience in the system's origins to fill in the gaps! This week, join us and our fantastic guest host, Caleb, as we explore the 9 moral alignments!
