Fishnets & Philosophy
76 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago -I am a person who has always been fascinated by the world and other people so I chose to study philosophy in university but I felt disillusioned by how inaccessible the subject is to those outside academia.
Despite my falling away from the academic subject, I've always had the same curiousity about the world and the people in it so I've started this podcast to pursue conversations with people I find fascinating about topics I am passionate about.
