History
Wholesome & Heathen met while at a small engineering college in Colorado. They bonded when Wholesome alerted Heathen that Yellowcard had released the When You’re Through Thinking Say Yes album. A few years later they had moved in together, err, I mean become roommates.
Wholesome focused on unlocking the secrets of the mind through psychology while Heathen focused on understanding how people truly work through economics.
Through it all, they maintained a thirst for understanding the world through conversations that, though challenging, stayed fun and kept away from the nerd shit of typical philosophy classes.
The idea for the podcast started in the summer of 2019. By the winter of 2019, they had almost launched. If you’re reading this, we’ve finally launched! You’re welcome.
