This episode was recorded much earlier in 2024, but for various reasons we have decided to release it now as the year draws to an end. Raven and Owen sit down with Alexander Bard and Ralph Schoellhammer to discuss the political landscape in 2024, the rise of populism, the state of men and women, patriotism, the (then forthcoming) elections, and much more. It’s fascinating to watch in light of what has happened SINCE it was recorded. Ralph Schoellhammer is the Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Webster Private University in Vienna, and a prolific political commentator and advisor. Alexander Bard is a philosopher and music producer, and a regular guest on this channel.
