Before we start, I want to point out that this episode is available for free, entirely without ads,

at patreon.com slash philosophy improv.

Also, the redacted episode that we keep referring to is only available in full at that

Patreon page.

Again, it's patreon.com slash philosophy improv.

Signing up for a small recurring donation there is the best way to make sure this show

continues to get made.

This is philosophy versus improv, where two sages try to teach each other a thing or two,

and maybe you, the audience, get something out of it as well.

Hey, this is Mark Linson-Myer, ready to train or discuss or really bring in any

appropriate way my philosophy background, and I am joined by my co-host.

Yes, Mary Hines, living, breathing, teaching, improvisation, and I'm here to bring that expertise, curiosity,

and playfulness to our conversation today. And we had some emails back and forth. We had a whole

discussion that will not have been posted for you listeners and viewers because the guest did not want it

in the public. It'll be on our Patreon, but we have a lot of maybe thoughts about, we've had

some discussions about different teaching styles and techniques. The main one was sort of how

much negative reinforcement?

Well, my question is, before we even get into that, is that the first time that this has happened?

I mean, I could have just overruled him. I guess I'll reframe my question.

Is this the first time that someone has said, I do not feel comfortable having that out in the world for

XYZ reasons.

No.
