"Igniting Thoughtful Discourse on Power, Politics, and the Human Experience."

It’s time for a fireside chat, America. We’re adding our voice to the chorus, offering a political science perspective that demands to be heard. We explore history, philosophy, politics, economics, society, power, money, technology, institutions, relationships, religion, and hierarchical structures.

Our discussions tackle big questions. How does an oppressive regime fall? What defines an ideal politician, and what traits or qualities should they embody? Is capitalism the final stop, or could other systems emerge to replace it? Can we craft a modern mythology? Is world peace achievable? Which philosophy reigns supreme?

Vycornia is a podcast dedicated to sharing and chronicling the evolution of our ideas and those of our guests through a lifetime of reflection and growth. Stay tuned for new episodes and join the conversation!
