That's So EMpathetic: Recent Episodes

View Details

In this episode, Malia and Louis bid the podcast goodbye as Malia conducts an exit interview on Louis to see what he has learned and if his perspective has changed. Unfortunately, Louis seems to be a tough nut to crack, so don't be disappointed if you leave this podcast more confused about him than you were before listening. Seriously, the dude is an enigma. Anyway, Malia and Louis hope you enjoyed listening even if all you did was laugh or cringe at their awkwardness and inexperience in podcasting. Just remember, enjoy life, be yourself, and as always, it's not pathetic to be EMpathetic!

In this episode, Malia and Chandler discuss empathy throughout different moments of American history without input from Louis, who once again chose his job over the podcast. The nerve. In other news, Chandler announces his departure from the podcast at the beginning of the episode, which kind of puts a damper on the rest of the conversation. Seriously, did this episode sound melancholy to anyone else? Anyway, enjoy listening to these two knuckleheads discuss historical moments that lacked empathy and whatever tangents they inevitably veered off on.

Malia, Louis, and Chandler discuss empathy and jobs, the numbness of today's youth, a cool article that reflects on whether or not the world needs empathy, and a quick empathy based scenario. Once again, this episode seems to lack direction at some points as the trio struggles to navigate several different concepts and ideas. Stand by for confusion, tacky jokes, a little bit of annoyance, and some laughter.

P.S. The trio apologizes for the random sniffles heard throughout the podcast. It seems someone, cough Louis cough, doesn't know how to keep their allergies under control.

Louis takes a break this week due to his actual job (boo), so Malia is joined by his nephew, Chandler. The two Gen Z'ers discuss definitions of empathy and compassion, and how these concepts relate directly to them. They sort of jump all over the place with no true direction and touch on things like having empathy during COVID-19 and having empathy in certain jobs. Please excuse the cat in the background as she has no respect for human life.

This is Malia and Louis' first episode ever, bear with them as they find their voice and learn how to properly edit. Otherwise, enjoy the episode as they discuss what empathy means to them, different definitions of empathy according to an article, where they scored on some empathy tests, why they believe this to be, and how these things translate into their relationship.
