Unpacking The Word Ep. 7: This is Why We Need to Make Nice Things

In this episode, Barrett and Luna talk about what it means to be good and do good things.

Barrett and Luna take a break from discussing how bad things happen and instead focus on what it means to be good and make good in the world in today’s episode. An objective good, Barrett says, is something sustainable and nurturing, like a good friend or healthy food. They unpack what good means in the workplace, and Luna introduces a new segment, "Reconstruct the Phrase," where Barrett restructures common phrases to emphasize the possibilities for good instead of focusing on the bad. 

Episode recorded on 4/28/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.

Next time, Barrett and Luna will continue focusing on the good and unpack how Barrett constructed Eǔtopia, the word for a sustainable good place.
