Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a ... more

  • Hmm…

    It would be nice to hear a little more sincerity and less sarcasm. I understand you guys are going with the satire point of view with things it’s kind of annoying for something like a philosophy podcast to be satire. Maybe that’s too meta but that’s my opinion. I am a person who does actually like satire in case you were wondering.

  • Mmm-hmmm

    I’m listening to the Brittany Page interview which I found really interesting & really fought to get through it due to the host’s constant “mmm-hmm-ing” throughout. I know it’s intended to endear support of & interest in the guest but it’s really distracting.
