Twisted Timber: Recent Episodes
Liesl McQuillan
I used to teach philosophy, and every semester I'd let my students do a few "issues days." On those days, the students were required to bring in a substantive issue for us to talk about as a class. We talked about things like sexual ethics, politics, religion, civil rights, and anything else that deeply impacts our world. I haven't taught in 5 years and I miss those issues days, so I'm bringing them back. I am challenging my friends and former students to bring an issue in and talk about it with me. I know a lot of interesting, smart, funny people and it's time I shared them.
In this episode, Adam and I talk about circumcision and the effects it can have on the male body and psyche.

Toby Meeks and I talk about art and artists and whether or not we have a responsibility to only consume art from ethical artists.
In the second episode, I spoke to Terrence Lockett, a wonderful young man who took two of my classes. Let me know what you think!
My name is Liesl McQuillan, and I used to be a philosophy professor. I had the phenomenal pleasure of teaching the most amazing human beings I've ever known and I've always wanted to share them with the world. I no longer teach, but I have kept up with many of my former students through the years and we decided to do a podcast as a bit of an excuse to have conversations again. When I was teaching, I would do "issues" days when they had papers due; basically, they had to bring an issue of substance in to discuss and we would discuss it as a class. This is what we will be doing in this podcast.
My first guest is Bahadir Koseli. He took my ethics class about 10 years ago. He is a remarkable young man. Let me know what you think.
