The Golden Mean Podcast: Recent Episodes
Golden Mean Podcast
Hey, we're two college students who have wide ranging conversations about sports, politics, philosophy and more while often having differing opinions about the subjects we discuss.
In light of the recent Taliban take over and chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan, we try to answer four questions about the longest war in US history: why did the US invade, why did we stay, why did we leave, and what happens now? Along with attempting to provide the answers, we analyze the logic of the choices made along the way, attempting to use both hindsight as well as what was known at the time the decisions were made.
After a long hiatus, the Golden Mean Podcast is back, and with a new format! We have moved to single subject episodes, which we hope will be more in-depth and shorter than previous episodes (although you wouldn’t know it from this first one). So to kick off the new style, what better to talk about than to catch up on all the NBA offseason news, from the Lakers’ Westbrook trade, the Bulls’ overhaul, and everything else that’s happened in the last two months… except the Warriors’ offseason, which will be the subject of its own episode in a few weeks.
