After a long hiatus (and likely, we will go into another extended break, lol), we are back with a new episode! The first for the year and the last? 

Anyways in this episode, we had Ren Dong Chen on the podcast as well as Leonardo Sucitra (as a stand-in for Kedric, who is currently head-deep into his Ph.D. and life duties) to discuss all things weightlifting, specifically on Chne’s experience with being a coach and being part of Team China taking LiJun Chen on his miraculous gold medal run in the Tokyo Olympics. 

In this episode, we speak to James Walsham, a coach in the hypertrophy and health space and a fellow podcaster. Many of you might know him from his own podcast The Hypertrophy Hub, but today we brought him on as a guest to talk about the topic of obesity and whether it is an active choice or not. 

The reason for this is that James also works as a health coach alongside other medical professionals, and together he and his team help to create a plan best suited for an individual looking to turn their health around. In this episode, we dove into some of the reasons for obesity, how at times, the industry can be against all of humanity when it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, and whether the choice to be obese is something people can choose to avoid or not. 

'Are there any actions that are right or wrong?'

Metaethics is the study of moral judgment's nature, scope, and meaning. It is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers. And as you know, our residential philosopher Kedric loves to spend his limited free time exploring the rabbit holes of philosophy. 

In today's episode, alongside Dr. Terence Cuneo, we look to explore the essence of morals. Through the lens of a philosopher, what does it mean to have moral concepts indeed, the nature of morality, and do we truly have one true morality?
