Show Notes
Who are the people that you have met in your life that have the most zeal? In this themed episode on 'Zeal' Juan and I discuss: the fervour and tireless devotion of someone with zeal, the religious connection with the word, whether humanity is less zealous with the decline of religion, coming across as desperate, whether we care about anything enough to die for it, my growing appreciation for activists who actually care about results and Henry Spira's campaign to stop animal experimentation done by the NY Museum.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
