First episode where we discuss the relevance of political theory in day-to-day affairs, and why it is worth listening to a podcast about it.

Why political theory?

Second episode where we discuss the needs, how we address them as individuals, and how governments address and rank needs.

What Are Needs?

In this episode we dive into the controversial role of morality in politics. We discuss the moral matrix that people use to frame their world view, and then we move on to discuss how that impacts good governance. Touching on some touchy subjects, we come to a fairly revolutionary conclusion: morality in government is far from black and white.

Convention Tapes

How does morality fit?

Imagine being a fly on the wall at the Constitutional Convention or when the Magna Carta was being drafted. Every so often throughout the course of human history, groups come together to form new governments. These brief episodes of creation provide a form for open conversation about the best ways to organize humans into a greater whole. 

We bring these kinds of conversations to you here in the hope that we can uncover new ideas and paths forward. Each week we bring you a conversation that would fit right into a contemporary constitutional convention. Join us for the New Convention Tapes & thanks for spending your time with us.
