Summary

Paul sits down with musician and animal-rights activist Moby and his podcasting partner Lindsay to talk about the “cult of more” and the illusion of material wealth as a cure for emotional issues. Moby delves into the history of mental illness and addiction in his family, his struggles with addiction, loneliness and desire for meaningful connection. He, Lindsay and Paul share their fears, loves and of course they talk about animal welfare.
