  • Episode 14 - Five Ways to Combat Survivorship Bias
    Feb 13 2026

    Evan examines the logical fallacy of survivorship bias, gives some examples, and then goes over five ways to avoid falling into this trap. He also uses a couple of examples from the teachings of Jesus to draw out some Biblical rationale for this as well.

  • Episode 13 - A Biblical Examination of American Patriotism
    Feb 6 2026

    Evan reads through and discusses an interesting pamphlet he received outside of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2025, entitled "A Biblical Examination of American Patriotism." (The pamphlet's writer, Jesse, has been invited on to the show, but at the time of publishing, has not responded to my inquiry.) Let's see if the claims hold up under scrutiny.

    A lot of the themes mentioned in this episode are also discussed at length in my interview with Father Frank Brawner: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2554066/episodes/18470559-episode-10-faith-politics-with-father-frank-brawner
