Episode 5:

, a fellow New Zealander, thought-dissident, and Psychology PhD candidate, joins me to discuss the state of New Zealand’s intellectual climate.

(Also: I’ve added intro and outro music. The intro song is not produced by me (though I’ve edited it into my own VIP). It’s called Beautiful Lie by Receptor.
