Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and author of New York Times bestsellers 'The Righteous Mind', and 'The Coddling of the American Mind'. His latest book 'The Anxious Generation', argues that the rise of smartphones and overprotective parenting have led to a "rewiring" of childhood and a rise in mental illness.

Jon discusses the intricate dynamics of political behaviour in America, highlighting the psychological differences, and intensified political extremes between liberals and conservatives as well as the societal shifts driven by technology and social media. Haidt discusses legislative accountability of the social media companies, and proposes social norms that are needed to overcome the mental health challenges of the younger generation.

In My Life written by Paul McCartney & John Lennon, performed by Judy Collins

"But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you.

And these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new.

Tho' I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them,

In my life I love you more."

Ingrid Newkirk is an author, activist, and president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's largest animal rights organisation. PETA famously proclaims that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any way.

In this episode Peter & Kasia speak to Ingrid and explore PETA's achievements, and the compromises Ingrid has had to make in order to reduce the vast universe of suffering that humans inflict on animals, and how if these ideals could be implemented throughout society, there could be revolutionary change.

Ingrid's impact in the Animal Rights movement is unparalleled, and she is an incredible storyteller. We hope you will be inspired by this conversation.

Please note there are discussions of animal suffering inherent within this episode, please take care whilst listening.
