World History U–Boat Hunters in the Atlantic

For six years, Britain and Nazi Germany fought a bitter battle for control of the Atlantic.

But during 1939, the Germans began to ‘starve’ the British into surrender by cutting off vital supplies of food and equipment from the Allies. This was done with the help of U-boats that tried to sink more cargo ships than the shipyards could produce...

Sophus Helle Why Alexander Wept

Desire is a strange thing. It is always raging inside us, driving us on to our next pursuit. But figuring out where it comes from or where exactly it is taking us can be surprisingly tricky. Sophus ponders the nature of desire, reflecting on a quote from Die Hard, a scene from Calvin and Hobbes, why he’s not a Buddhist, and what a diamond failed to teach him. To live well, we have to learn to live with the restlessness inside us and to appease it in ways that make our lives richer. Hosted and written...

Sophus Helle The Sex Talk

When we speak of “sexual orientation,” we really just mean whether people are gay, straight, or bi. But people differ from each other in many other interesting ways. Sex, as a realm of difference, is much richer than this single orientation implies. When I talk with my friends about their desires, I am often surprised by how many things it is possible to want. Talking about sex makes sex better, because it opens our minds to an endless expanse of possibility. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle. Sound...

Sophus Helle Drowning a Dragonfly

Why do kids kill insects? It is a strange, disturbing fact that so many of us have, at some early point in our lives, plucked wings off butterflies, burned ants with magnifying glasses, or, in Sophus’s case, drowned a dragonfly. But where does semi-psychotic instinct comes from? In this episode, Sophus explains that our encounter with insects—whether as kids or as adults—is like a miniature moral lab, where we can experiment with our relation to the world.

Sophus Helle A Study in Scarlet

What makes us us? Is there a feature that unites humans as a species while setting us apart from every other animal? Tool use, perhaps, or language or consciousness? This episode is about the hunt for a biological trait that would pull us all together and why that trait is so hard to find. Even if we do discover a single attribute that is hardwired into our collective brains—like our obsession with the color red—it will always dissolve into difference in the end. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle....
