Josh and Sean are back for another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), this time trying to tackle several big questions facing humanity. Are we past the point of no return when it comes to the natural world? How is capitalism and human exploitation connected to the degradation of the planet? Just a couple of lighthearted topics!
They also chat about the impact of drinking and addiction on mental health, sharing their own personal stories and varying experiences of dependency, and take a detour to discuss the sensational new film Homebound by filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan.
It’s not a laugh a minute in this episode but you can rely on the hosts to be somewhat irreverent, self-deprecating, and ill-informed in their usual way.
Enjoy the ride!
