We are the ethics podcast for college students at UNC who are ethically curious.
Interested in podcasting, philosophy and ethics?
So are we!
We invite academics, business leaders, and passionate students to discuss a wide variety of topics. Large or small, questions involving philosophy, politics, and economics guide our everyday lives, and we aim to explore them all.
From conversations about what is happening around campus to debates on the ethics of lying to children about Santa. We are here to answer your questions and provide insight into some of UNC's greatest minds!
