Episode #15 is another ‘Round Robin style conversation, where we discuss Turing Pharmaceuticals. A company that raised the price of Daraprim from $13.50 per pill to $750 per pill last month, shortly after purchasing the rights from Impax Laboratories. An Oklahoma court granted a stay of execution for Richard Glossip just hours before he was scheduled to die, Wednesday. Oklahoma has a spotted history regarding the Death Penalty. Is it time we rethink Capital Punishment? During the Republican debate we heard several candidates say that they were going to build the greatest military the world’s ever seen. What they don’t tell you is that we already do. Our ships are the most technically advanced in the word, yet the NAVY is asking for 30 more ships. Do we need them? Ferraris, Porches and Diplomatic Immunity.

Comedian and YouTube star Nicole Arbour had her video, “Dear Fat People,” removed after a large uproar over the videos message. Everyone will agree that bullying and belittling someone for their size is wrong, but do we ignore or even enable those who are overweight? Why do we feel comfortable telling our friends or even a stranger, smoking will kill them, yet stay silent when the killer is a tasty treat? In Episode #14 we try to answer these questions and more.

We’re back with another exciting episode of the Material Devolution Podcast. In this episode we explore the world of doping in professional sports. We try and establish different perspectives as we devolve the subject to it’s core. Inspired by Joe Rogan’s latest Podcast with Jeff Novitzky, and a recent article in The Guardian about the effectiveness of Doping Controls and the pitfalls enforcement faces as they try to clean up sports. Should doping be allowed for recovery? Why are some supplements banned while others are considered legal to use? Is there a misconception about those who dope? Where do we go from here?

A quick chat about a with a name (Cecil) a dentist with some dough (Walter Palmer) an industry under fire, and a mob out for blood. In this week’s episode we track down the truth in people’s outrage over the tragic poaching of Cecil the Lion. Was this lion beloved in Zimbabwe or just another threat of the Safari? Are people really upset with the killing of this creature or the fact that a rich white guy killed it? Then we shift gears completely to tackle a much lighter subject; Ghost write rs in hip-hop. Most people may assume that all rappers write their own lyrics, but this is not the case. Last week top rapper and renowned lyricist, Drake, was said to have solicited the help of a ghost writer to work on his latest single, “R.I.C.O.”
