I enjoyed the podcast! I think that assuming your audience is familiar with EA like the 80,000 Hours podcast does is a good thing. Two questions I really like were (1) when you asked how Lewis feels when he sees people eating factory-farmed meat all the time and (2) when you asked Lewis to describe some of the horrible conditions that factory farmed animals live in. I really liked the thought experiment Lewis gave involving the neighbor barbecuing a piglet and your related comment about a Parks and Recreation scene.
Wonderful feedback, thanks! It’s tricky because it’s not just an EA podcast, so I have to assume many of my listeners aren’t familiar with EA. I could cover the EA side of things at the beginning of the show when it’s relevant, then tell people who are EA veterans when to skip to. Rob does this and I find it pretty helpful. I always find it interesting to hear about the personal experience of people who “stare into the abyss” for the careers (see my episode with asylum attorney Brianna Rennix). For future posts will use your title advice.
