Episode 007 – The Blame Game: Parcheesi or Stratego?

These days, it’s easy to get upset at all the issues with the coronavirus response, and for good reason. But when we start lashing out and casting blame in broad strokes, we oversimplify things—and this can actually do more harm than good. 

So, when we play the Blame Game, are we playing smart Stratego, or are we just painting with a broad brush and playing simple Parcheesi. Wow, that’s a lot of mixed metaphors. 

Today, we’ll get into how to look critically, and with nuance, at disaster response in this episode of Globally Heated!
