It’s a question that has left many puzzled. What, in fact, is a sandwich? Is it the classic two slices of bread, Earl of Sandwich creation? Or is it simply anything in a similar arrangement?

In this week’s podcast, we discuss sandwiches. Tom harks back to his Swedish heritage by posing the question, is an open-sandwich a sandwich? From here we discuss logical positivism, neural networks and Quine’s seminal work ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’. Finally, we share some of our favourite sandwich creations and experiences.

A few things we mentioned in this podcast:

- Logical Empiricism https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-empiricism/
- Two Dogmas of Empiricism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Dogmas_of_Empiricism
- John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Montagu,_4th_Earl_of_Sandwich
