Season 2 Episode 9 - Jeremy Bentham on Bobbies and Penology
In this episode, we take you through Jeremy Bentham's view on the role of policing and what policing used to look like - in that mythical, pre-Benthamic society. Oh, and we'll also talk about his mummified head. It relates. We promise.
The delay was BAD in this one. We apologize for repeatedly interrupting each other.

Season 2 Episode 8 - Bentham on the Declaration of Independence
In this episode, we take you through Jeremy Bentham's reply to the Declaration of Independence. We'll explain why Bentham neither approves of, nor understands, the concept of "rights," why he simultaneously hates kings but thinks you have to do whatever they say, and why his reading comprehension skills are a bit suspect.If you missed it, please check out our last Independence Day episode (episode 11 of season 1) discussing the Declaration: https://rss.com/podcasts/lexrexpod/542617/ (https://rss.com/podcasts/lexrexpod/542617/)

Season 2 Episode 7 - Who is Jeremy Bentham?
In this episode, we talk all about Jeremy Bentham: Who is he? A weird guy obsessed with round buildings, and also one of the most influential social theorists of the modern era (for the worse, in our opinion). Why should you care about him? Because he fundamentally changed the way people understand politics and law, in a really stupid way. What kinds of things did he do? Write lots of unwanted letters and have his body stuffed so no one would miss him when he died. This is the first part of our three part series on Bentham, so be sure to check back next time for his take on the Declaration of Independence!
