On the Commodification of People

On episode NINETY-NINE of Let the Bird Fly! Wade hijacks the podcast and forces Mike and Peter to discuss the commodification of people. You might be surprised to find out that despite Wade’s attempt to spring a topic on the guys, they managed to still find plenty to talk about. But first they decided to talk more baseball (can you tell they’re all excited about their teams this season?) with a far-too-early review of the MLB season so far.

Some books mentioned in the episode:

• • • Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
    • Bioethics: A Primer for Christians by Gilbert Meilaender
    • Seculosity by David Zahl

At the beginning of the episode Wade mentioned the 2019 Here We Still Stand conference, which is hosted by 1517.org. If you are interested in joining Wade and Mike (and maybe Ben) in San Diego, head over therenow to see if there are still tickets available (but hurry, this will sell out).

If you’d like more information on the Apologetics course Mike is offering at Wisconsin Lutheran College during the summer of 2019, you can find all that information right here.
