The Philosopher's Guide to the Apocalypse
Hello internet! This is Matthew and welcome to The Philosopher’s Guide to the Apocalypse. This is not, as you might suppose, a podcast about surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. At that point all hope is lost, and you should run into the hoard of zombies. No, this is a podcast in which a variety of subjects will be examined using philosophy in the hopes of gaining greater insight and perspective. This podcast won’t solve all your problems, but it will make you think. Your milage may vary. Normies not allowed.
