Greetings, my fellow intellectuals! I hope everyone had a great end to their semester and congratulations to the recent grads!! For the last week of The Berkeley Dialogues "season", we closed out with Nicole Vargas who is a Rhetoric major. We also had the privilege of having Sara Wexler on, who is interested in possibly taking over the podcast at the beginning of next semester. Nicole discussed what the Rhetoric major consists of and how it can be compared to the Philosophy major. Louie J Campos, Matthew Gonzales, and I would like to thank all our guests for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come to talk with us. We would also like to thank and give a huge shout out to all the listeners! We know Joe Rogan or some other famous podcaster is more enticing to listen to, but we really do appreciate you taking the time to listen to ours.

Howdy fellow seekers of wisdom! This week on The Berkeley Dialogues Louie J Campos and I are accompanied by members of the decal "Philosophy of the Inner City". These members include Raymond Banks, Mel Davis, Jabar Xavier, and Mr. Best. We discuss what the course is and get to hear about each of their lives. We wanted to thank them greatly as they shared their personal stories and struggles growing up in America. If you are thinking of taking a decal or just an awesome class in general, we highly recommend taking Philosophy of the Inner City. We hope you enjoy and would like to thank Raymond, Mel, Jabar, and Mr. Best again!

Unofficially known as "The Normies", this week we talk about censorship and regulation! We start discussing the differences between censorship and regulation and then move on to talk about where censorship may or may not be appropriate (i.e. within schools, the media, and the government). This week we would like to shout out LiL TRACTOR who is a fellow Berkeley philosophy student and helped provide the intro music for this week's episode. The track is linked in this post!
