189. Adiaphoron: Diogenes & Martin Luther Find the Gray Areas

Get ready for some classic love potion hijinks! This week Kyle and Emily are talking about magical concoctions, dubious enchantments, desirable faces, and the word philtrum.

This word gets our hosts in the mood for love. They delve into antiquity and ask what a philter is made of, how it’s administered, and what it can do. Spoiler alert, all the answers are bad. It turns out there’s a dangerously fine line between a potion and a poison.

But it’s not all alchemy today! Emily and Kyle also discuss face anatomy, and ask that age old question, “what IS the deal with those little grooves above your lip?” They chat about the formation of faces, the cupid’s bow with its dart of love, and secret sex appeal nestled under your nose.
