Episode 150: Guest Peter Singer on Famine, Affluence, and Morality
The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast
Mark and Wes interview perhaps the world's most influential living philosopher, then the full foursome discusses. We discuss his ongoing work rooted in his 1971 essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality," about the warped priorities of our consumerist society: We spend money on luxuries while innocent children overseas die from inexpensively preventable causes.

End song: "Ann the Word" by Beauty Pill (2015), explored in Nakedly Examined Music #19.
