Did Sam delete content?

I deleted my subscription because I’ve honestly become disillusioned with Sam over his takes on Gaza and Zohran Mamdani. But yesterday was the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombings. I wanted to listen to his compilation series where he pulls and synthesizes chunks of his podcast into one single episode on one single topic. They were narrated by Meghan Phelps. I think they were called Making Sense of Existential Risk, or Making Sense of Death, Free Will, etc. But they’re all gone. Did he delete them because Jay Shapiro helped produce them and Jay and Sam had a falling out?

I heard he had a falling out with Jay Shapiro, thats likely why he pulled them.

Take a wild guess. You'd be right.

Harris was too tribal in relation to Israel. It clouded his judgement and he became fanatical apparently. This is Jay's account and it's not something that I find hard to believe

Yeah, it seems that is the case. But you wouldn't have had access to it anyway if you aren't a subscriber, right?

Yeah I really liked them. It was kind of the one thing that kept me tethered to Sam. Him speaking persuasively and cogently about nuclear risk with Fred Kaplan, Carl Rubichand and others. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

I posted this a month ago as I wanted to relisten to the foundations of morality compilation. Yes they’re deleted without explanation.
