Hops and Hooves: A Humanity Podcast

Hot take! In this episode we talk about a common framework for giving and receiving "affection" (and in some contexts, feedback). What are the 5 love languages? Is there any evidence to support them? Where do they go right and where do they go wrong?

Eric gets Sam to try out some homemade goat milk mozzarella, then he reviews Turbulent Consequence Noble Rot, a farmhouse ale by Block 15 (Corvallis, OR).

And remember, don't be a dick, or a twat......or a twat waffle!

In case you haven't heard, a movement is once again growing, and this fight has been going on behind the scenes for decades. There is a school in Massachusetts that has been using a device to routinely and systematically administer electric shocks to it's residents. Not many people know about it, and even those in our field that do know often turn a blind eye to the abuses that have occurred in the name of treatment. We admit our own ignorance and complacency in the past. But now we know and we share with you all.  How did this become a thing and how is continuing to occur? Well, we feel there is some definite cult-like roots and good old boy networking at the core.
