Listen "How to Fight Political Burnout"
Episode Synopsis
Americans are politically exhausted. Shadi happens to be one of them. But he's taking action. In this special episode, our venerable co-host opens up about burnout, finitude, and his own struggles with meaning. In society more broadly, politically induced fatigue and even depression are spreading. Is there a way to find that meaning without religion—or is religion the only way?
