Hi-Phi Nation: Hidden Conflicts

This collection of episodes unpacks the hidden assumptions behind the most common aspects of American life — and leave you questioning things you never thought to question before. From Barry Lam, creator of Hi-Phi Nation, a sound and story-driven show about philosophy.

The backstory: Every week at RadioPublic, we highlight a new set of hand-curated #PodcastPlaylists — think old-school mix tape, but for podcast episodes. Some share a theme, and others are a selection of favorites from tastemakers like authors, podcast hosts, and publications. Want to be the first to hear when new playlists are available?
