  • The Sex Recession Is Real: A Sex Coach Explains How to Find Your Way Back to Intimacy

    The Sex Recession Is Real: A Sex Coach Explains How to Find Your Way Back to Intimacy
    Mar 31 2026
    In 1990, 55% of American adults reported having sex weekly. By 2024 that number had fallen to just 37%, and among adults aged 18–29, the share reporting no sex at all in the past year has doubled, from 12% to 24%. We are in the middle of a sex recession. And most of us have no idea why, or what to do about it. In this special episode of Good Is In The Details (recorded live at Podapalooza, a one-day podcast matching event) host Gwendolyn Dolske sits down with Xanet Pailet: nationally recognized sexuality educator and coach, somatic sexologist, and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life: Heal Yourself and Awaken Your Pleasure, a former NYC healthcare lawyer who lived in a sexless marriage for over two decades before experiencing her own sexual healing and dedicating her career to helping others do the same. It's philosophy of intimacy, and genuinely useful psychology all in one conversation. What we explore in this episode: What's actually driving the sex recession, from smartphones and "bedtime procrastination" to the collapse of in-person socializing (young adults in 2024 spend less than half as much time with friends as they did in 2010) and what it means for our relationships.Why inadequate sex education and overexposure to pornography are creating unrealistic expectations and disconnecting people from genuine intimacy, and what healthy sexual education actually looks like.How bad early sexual experiences create lasting somatic patterns that shut people down, and what it takes to heal them.The common thread running through every healthy, intimate long-term relationship, and why most couples never talk about it.How to get unstuck in a long-term relationship that has lost its spark: practical, evidence-based, and compassionate strategies from a coach who has helped hundreds of couples.Why sexual expression is inseparable from emotional needs, and what happens to both partners when those needs go unaddressed for years. Whether you're in a long-term relationship that's lost its spark, navigating your own relationship with desire and intimacy, or simply trying to understand why an entire generation seems to be opting out of sex, this episode will give you a new framework for thinking about one of the most fundamental human experiences.

  • Your Phone Is Watching You: Privacy, Surveillance, and the Law with Prof. Andrew Guthrie Ferguson

    Your Phone Is Watching You: Privacy, Surveillance, and the Law with Prof. Andrew Guthrie Ferguson
    Mar 21 2026
    Every time you turn on your phone, you're building a case against yourself. You just don't know it yet. Your Ring camera. Your Google searches. Your Alexa. Your 23andMe DNA. Your fitness tracker. The apps running silently in the background. Every one of these generates data, and every one of them can be accessed by police and prosecutors with a warrant. And warrants, it turns out, are easy to get. In this episode of Good Is In The Details, Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo sit down with Professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson — Professor of Law at George Washington University, national expert on surveillance technology and the Fourth Amendment, former public defender, and author of Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self-Surveillance (NYU Press, 2026) — for one of the most urgent conversations we've ever had on this show. The central problem Professor Ferguson identifies is one that should concern every person who owns a smartphone: technology has outpaced the law by a generation. The Fourth Amendment, designed to protect against unreasonable search and seizure, was written for a world that could not have imagined the Panopticon we've voluntarily built around ourselves. In Philosophy of Law, Political Theory, and Philosophical accounts of Ethical Uses of Technology, themes concerning autonomy, public good, and individual rights vs the rights of the state underscore this contemporary topic. What we get into in this episode: Why smart devices are surveillance devices and what that means for how you think about every gadget in your home.How apps, Ring cameras, AI, Google searches, and DNA databases like 23andMe are already being used as evidence in criminal prosecutionsWhat "probable cause" means in a world where law enforcement can access months of your location history, your heartrate during a protest, and your late-night search historyWhy the Fourth Amendment's current limits tilt the balance of power too far toward prosecutors and police — and what it would take to fix it.The philosophical question underneath all of it: what does privacy even mean anymore — and is it worth fighting for?Why creating data and having that data used against you are not the same thing — and why that distinction is the most important legal argument of our digital moment.What you can actually do to minimize your exposure and why Professor Ferguson believes we can still advocate for something better Whether you're interested in law, technology, civil liberties, ethics, philosophy of privacy, or simply want to understand what's actually happening to your data — this episode will change how you think about every device you own. Guest: Andrew Guthrie Ferguson — Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School.

  • How To Be Mindful about our Brains: Brain Surgery, Free Will, and the Illusion of Mind?

    How To Be Mindful about our Brains: Brain Surgery, Free Will, and the Illusion of Mind?
    Mar 1 2026

    What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How much of our personality is determined by brain structure? Do we truly have free will or is it an illusion created by neural processes?
    Will there ever be a cure for dementia? And could artificial intelligence replace neurosurgeons?

    In this episode of Good Is In The Details, hosts Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D., and Rudy Salo sit down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Theodore Schwartz, author of Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, medical ethics, and culture.

    Dr. Schwartz offers a rare, inside look at what it means to operate on the human brain: the organ that houses memory, identity, personality, and consciousness itself. From the evolution of brain surgery to cutting-edge research, he explains how the brain functions, how structure shapes behavior, and why understanding neuroplasticity is essential to both medicine and human development.

    The conversation moves into the philosophical debate of free will vs. determinism. If our thoughts, impulses, and decisions arise from neural circuitry, do we truly choose — or are we the product of biology? Is the "mind" something distinct from the brain, or is it an emergent property of physical processes?

    Drawing on pop culture references like Star Trek, Memento, and Gattaca, this episode connects neuroscience with questions long explored in philosophy and science fiction. The discussion also addresses:

    How brain injuries alter personality

    The future of dementia research

    The promise and limits of neuroplasticity

    Why AI is unlikely to replace human neurosurgeons

    What makes brain surgery uniquely human

    Dr. Schwartz explains why, despite advances in artificial intelligence, neurosurgery requires intuition, judgment, and embodied skill that cannot be automated.

    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in:

    medical ethics

    neuroscience and consciousness

    the philosophy of mind

    free will and determinism

    dementia and brain health

    how identity is shaped by the brain

    The brain is the seat of personality, memory, and moral agency. Understanding how it functions challenges our assumptions about responsibility, autonomy, and what it means to be human.

    Through thoughtful dialogue, Good Is In The Details bridges philosophy and real-world expertise, offering listeners tools to think more deeply about science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness.
