Exploitation is a bad thing.

You would assume so at first glance, but oddly enough there are many areas where exploits serve a very useful purpose.

There are other areas it must be challenged and changed though.

Getting just three people to agree proved difficult. Take a listen and see where your views of exploitation fit into this conversation.

Exploitation - Episode 6

A child in the womb's first kick is known as the quickening, historically the moment the child became sentient. It is no longer the determination for life, but is used as a moment of awakening.  

In this episode, Max, Ford and Colin look at which quickenings we are experiencing now and wonder if you might have others that we did not consider.

Zeitgeist - Episode 8

Settling for less, sucks. 
As with every word we've thrown into the ring, *settlement* triggered different things for each of us. From divorce settlements, settling a debt ... to human migration, present and political or anthropologically ancient. 

Settlement seems to be the shore we can land on after moving through confusion. Where we can give things a name and gather. 

Somewhat unsettling initially, that's mirrored in the episode's flow. It took us a while to get to a place where we had a grip on the topic. If you can bear the wrangle through there is a quick glimmer of a-ha at the end. A settlement, finally.

Deception - Intro Episode 10

Three storytellers consider the things that at first seem odd and which after consideration either are really odd or not odd at all.

Max, Ford & Colin are hoping you will enjoy their skimming of some diverse subjects to pique your interest to explore further.

This is not intended to be a listicle type review of all things odd, but rather some points on why the subjects we tend to think of as odd came to be seem that way, usually without proper foundation.
