Fifty not out!

Well who would have thunk it... we are at episode 50 of The Existential Files already! What do you mean you haven't listened? There have been laughs, tears, head-hurting discussions on why the universe exists and our place within it, and a swear word or two.  All in the name of, well... nothing really. It just seemed a good idea at the time. 

All credit to Louie who has been tirelessly recording and uploading these, as well as finding a fantastic array of guests who have joined us. We've spoken to philosophers, physicists, psychologists, and ghost-hunters (don't ask).  And we have only just begun. Go take a listen. 

Consciousness explained (!)

Louie and I are continuing at a pace with our conversations as part of The Existential Files. Available on iTunes and YouTube. Some of these conversations take place while I find myself in a room with a whiteboard, and so I make a few notes. 

Below are my notes from a podcast conversation last week (in fact, it was split across two episodes) in which we were joined by Peter Hankins who, among other things is the author of a blog called Conscious Identities. Not surprisingly, our focus of this podcast was on 'consciousness'. That old chestnut. You can get a sense of how these notes emerge by listening here and here. 

 

It's a love thang...

A belated happy Valentine's Day! Earlier in the week I, perhaps foolishly, spent a chunk of my Valentine's Day chatting to Dr Savva. We recorded a couple of podcasts exploring 'love'. Louie, being the efficient person that he is (and because he has bugger all else to do... joke, Louie, joke*), uploaded these quickly. You can listen on iTunes here (episodes 17 and 18).

As I found myself in a room with a whiteboard (gotta love a whiteboard!), I made a few notes:

 

*He really does have bugger all else to do.

The Existential Files on iTunes!

My partner in existential crime, Dr Louie Savva, has been busy cutting and uploading recordings of our podcast conversations and submitting to iTunes. Good man, Louie! As of today episodes 1-10 available. More on their way...! You can also listen via YouTube.
