  • 311. What is Normal Penis Size? Male Sexual Performance and Anxiety
    Jun 2 2026

    In recent years, conversations around sex have become far more attentive to women’s experiences, desires, and frustrations — and for good reason. But in the process, have we stopped talking honestly about male sexuality? In this episode, Zale sits down with sex therapist and author Chris Donaghue to explore the psychology of male sexual performance, insecurity, validation, and desire. From penis size and performance anxiety, to casual sex, long-term relationships, and what actually makes someone “good in bed,” this conversation examines the fears men rarely admit out loud — and asks what healthy male sexuality could look like without shame, pressure, and distorted expectations.

  • 310. Can Science Fully Explain Consciousness?
    May 19 2026
    Is human consciousness simply the product of brain activity — or does reducing human experience to biology leave something essential out? In this episode, philosopher, physician, and former clinical neuroscientist Raymond Tallis joins the show to challenge reductionist views of the mind, unpack the limits of neuroscience, and explore what makes human beings distinct. Best known for his critiques of “neuromania” and scientism, Tallis discusses consciousness, free will, language, AI, and why he believes human life cannot be fully explained by neurons alone.

  • 309. Can a Chemical Make You Moral? The Science of Oxytocin
    May 5 2026

    What if our sense of right and wrong isn’t just philosophical, but biological? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Paul Zak reveals that a single molecule—oxytocin—could hold the key to understanding trust, empathy, and virtue itself. Imagine being able to measure compassion in a blood sample or enhance generosity with a nasal spray. Is morality purely a matter of choice, or are we wired for virtue? Join Zale as he learns how neurobiology may be reshaping our moral landscape.
