It’s halfway through The Good Place and therefore this podcast too! We mark the occasion with a reflective conversation among Rebecca Rosenthal, Dan Ross, Lela Spira-Savett, and Jon Spira-Savett. Settle your Season 2 bets about which characters the podcast’s co-hosts resemble today and wish they would be more like. Then we muse personally about the premises of the podcast – Jon’s envy of the TV show’s creators, how learning actually shapes our ethical growth, and the ingenious ways The Good Place spins what we call teshuvah. We check in on Maimonides’ definition and give it a bit of critique in the process!
