Radio
I am very happy to be a monthly guest on “KGVO Talk Back”. I have discussed a large variety of issues on there, including veganism, sex work, free speech, originalism, racism, the death penalty, euthanasia, and the value of the environment. My goal is to model an example of civil, reasoned, and engaging conversations about some of the most controversial issues of our times. I am immensely grateful to Jon King and Peter Christian for welcoming a philosopher on their show, and giving me a chance to “reach across the isle”.
