Show Notes
UK-based Tony Five reports live from Croatia on the emotional support alligator that's no longer welcome at a Pennsylvania Walmart, and then David analyzes a dream Tony had. On Conspiracy Corner, Dr. Lee Kuhnle describes a few times when the CIA used sex, pornography, and sex dolls to run real-world operations. (Check out Lee's podcast The Uncover Up here.) Marshall Cunningham from University of Chicago's Divinity School discusses how religion comes into play with video game Grand Theft Auto. English professor Dr. Patrick Jagoda brings up how video games can be used for social good, and the role of them in higher education. (Patrick is helping organize the Year of Games at University of Chicago.) After that, it's reporter Matthew Alston on the things that might make Gen Z quit a job. Psychology professor Dr. Yeeun Archer Lee goes over her research on how lonely, socially anxious people see benefit from small acts of kindness.
