Welcome back for episode four of the COD POD (yes, we're making that nickname happen)! It's our first recording since the official launch of the show, and we're already talking abbreviations, merch, and the manifestation of a large listening audience! On today's episode, Ben and Stephen discuss heavy metal music, Ben's upcoming vasectomy, celebrity deaths and other items in the zeitgeist (as well as the word "zeitgeist"), being late bloomers and turning down offers of HGH as adolescents, gravity, torture, and constructive confrontation. Listen long enough, and you'll even hear Stephen do a southern accent (think Savannah, Georgia)!

Ben and Stephen are back for episode three! Having just returned from Paris, Ben is sporting a haircut that is trés chic, even though he got it in the States...The show takes off in its usual, organic yet relatively unpredictable manner, covering topics such as: Hebrew school, the hosts' relationship with religion, the future and AI cults, attitudes towards schooling, homework, and college, as well as controlling outcomes, managing reactivity, and the overwhelm caused by Globalism. Listen along as the hosts get real about their experiences with clients, family, and going to therapy!

From black coffee and Christian Slater, to Dave Matthews, the Zodiac Killer, and a discussion on capacity versus will, Ben and Stephen are back for episode two of the newly renamed Child of Dog podcast. Topics include nuance in media, failures of the expert class, groupthink, anti-heroes, boring conversations, the American West, and the difference between traveling with family and traveling with friends.
