239. We All Just Need To Be Better ft. Matt Goldberg

For the month of September, we're going to donate $1 to help buy school supplies for kids in need for every new rating/review we get on Stitcher & Apple Podcasts! Help us help kids get what they need to make school as awesome as possible for them! In the final instalment of our Teacher Series, we sit down with special guest Matt Goldberg from Confabulation! In addition to running the long-running storytelling show, he also teaches English at Vanier College! We start the show with a great chat about Liberal Guilt & owning up to your shortcomings, then talk about how the Conservative Party of Canada is Definitely The Worst Option. Then, Matt tries to convince Akeem that the CEGEP system is actually a really great thing. Next, we have a great conversation about "the death of the artist" and the idea of separating an artist from their work. Also, can people write things about experiences they themselves have never lived and still write things that are valuable? Finally, we hop over to reddit.com/amitheasshole to read a story about a guy who got a vasectomy against his wife's wishes!
