S02E02 - Giving it away

randInt podcast with Raffy and Chandra

Welcome back to another episode of randInt!

In this actual minisode (we managed to keep it to about half hour for once), we explore the world of philanthropy and charitable giving. It turns out that not all charities are created equal in terms of effectiveness. But does effectiveness even matter when you’re trying to do good for the world? That’s the main discussion in this minisode!

In this episode we talk about...

• charities that are “evidence based” vs “ appealing”
• should charities pay a comission?
• where we donate to and more...
