Episode 118: Ep.131 Permanence and Change
March 24, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes - 16.1 MBThis week everything changes, or does it? Is change inevitable? What do we build on that might provide a solid foundation for our identity and understanding of the world? Join Mike and Danny as they turn and face the strain. Enjoy a relaxing trip through Miletus noting, as we go, Thales and the Pre-Scratics on our left. You know what? This time we are going to stop and get out, actually spend some time with these guys, grab a glass of wine and chill. After all, what else have we got to do?
Episode 118: Ep.131 The Pre-Socratics: Permanence and Change
March 24, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes - 16.1 MBThis week everything changes, or does it? Is change inevitable?

Episode 117: Ep.130 Alternative Lifestyles Part 4
March 17, 2021 00:00 - 26 minutes - 20.3 MBThis week we are just never satisfied are we? There is always some itch that needs scratching, some desire yet to be fulfilled, some patch of grass just ever so slightly more green. Never fear, join Mike and Danny as they seek out new vistas - this time it will work, this time we will discover the promised land, settle down with our partner(s) of choice, grow goats and herd root vegetables. What do you mean “what’s the wifi like?”??? No, there won’t be Netflix and it won’t be a conve...
Episode 116: Ep129 Alternative Lifestyles P.3
March 10, 2021 00:00 - 23 minutes - 17.1 MBThis week join Danny and Mike. That’s it, just join Danny and Mike, nothing more, just hangout in the world we have carved out for ourselves. Sacrifices will have to be made, you will have to ditch some of your baggage and adapt to our way of life but it’s a small price to pay for the sense of belonging we offer. Of course some of you will find it difficult to adjust, some of you might even nurse a rebellious spirit, perhaps even have some ideas of your own. No matter, everybody has ...
Episode 116: Ep128 Alternative Lifestyles P.3
March 10, 2021 00:00 - 23 minutes - 17.1 MBThis week join Danny and Mike. That’s it, just join Danny and Mike, nothing more, just hangout in the world we have carved out for ourselves. Sacrifices will have to be made, you will have to ditch some of your baggage and adapt to our way of life but it’s a small price to pay for the sense of belonging we offer. Of course some of you will find it difficult to adjust, some of you might even nurse a rebellious spirit, perhaps even have some ideas of your own. No matter, everybody has to learn...
Episode 115: Ep. 128 Alternative Lifestyles P2
March 03, 2021 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16.8 MBThis week, what is our ultimate destination? Join Mike and Danny as they set out along the path of natural order to identify our individual fate. But wait, who says we can’t stop and smell the roses? In fact, why don’t we turn off destiny highway and follow this rough unbeaten track to gods know where? Yes, once again Mike and Danny reveal their penchant for flared jeans, reasonably priced, if not free, love and the sounds of the Grateful Dead. Don’t harsh our buzz man, we are sticki...
Episode 114: p. 127 Alternative Lifestyles
February 24, 2021 00:00 - 24 minutes - 17.7 MBThis week Danny is fed up and miserable but the sun is starting to shine and a new day is dawning! Tune in and join Mike and Danny, the merry philosonauts, on a magical mystery through the realms of possibility. Yes, this week we are talking revolution… or are we? Is it time to re-engage with normality or are we on the frontiers of the new normal? What, exactly, IS the normal way to be? What are the standards for identifying normal human existence? Is it essence or is it existence? W...
Episode 113: Ep. 126 Family Part 5
February 17, 2021 00:00 - 23 minutes - 17.4 MBThis week, join Mike and Danny, after a year of lockdown, as they stare into the face of the other and ask “who the hell are you people?” Yes, what do we do with the other after so long with only the Cartesian cogito for company? Will we finally emerge from pandamic isolation desperate for human contact or having developed an antipathy for human connection? Has all this time, huddled with our families, simply rendered us intensely tribal to the detriment of the body politic? Perhaps ...
Episode 112: EP. 125 Family Part 4
February 10, 2021 00:00 - 32 minutes - 24.7 MBThis week we are family, I got all my siblings with me! Yes join Mike and Danny as they continue their exploration into the murky depths of family life. Should Danny beat his children? Would this contribute to the dialectical development of the universal spirit? Do philosophers give us the families their philosophies deserve? Just how natural is the family? Does “speaking as a parent” give one greater access to epistemic certainty or simply render as opinionated elitists? Can any one...
Episode 111: Ep.124 Family Part 3
February 03, 2021 00:00 - 25 minutes - 19.1 MBThis week, we didn’t ask to be born, right? Who is responsible for dragging us into this whole situation? Listen with mounting existential dread as Mike and Danny inform you that this is not your fault but your are stuck with it, there is nothing you can do about it, you just have to suck it up. Be dumbfounded with the revelation that as a parent you are empowered to grab the epistemic crayons and scrawl all over your children psyche. Yes! Go ahead! knock yourselves out and join in t...
Episode 110: Ep. 123 Family Part 2
January 27, 2021 00:00 - 18 minutes - 13.7 MBThis week listen in as Mike and Danny tell you that you aren’t bringing your kids up properly. Yes, in this offensive episode we upset both parents and the entire education industry by suggesting that one doesn’t know what it’s doing and the other is simply in it for the money. That’s right folks, here at WTF we play no favourites and know no fear in our quest to usher in a glorious utopian future. We built this city, we built this city on ideal forms and not on children reared on TV...
Episode 109: Ep. 122 Philosophy and Family
January 20, 2021 00:00 - 22 minutes - 15.9 MBIt’s 2021 and we are back to bring philosophy to the masses! Join Mike and Danny as they emerge blinking from the darkness of 2020 bloated with the excesses of the festive season. Listen in with mild disappointment as Mike stuffs his face with leftover Christmas cake and Danny confesses, to his enduring shame, that he consumes sell-by mince pies behind closed doors to the everlasting embarrassment of his family and amidst the sound of his crying children. Yes, families, what are the...

January 01, 2021 00:00 - 13 minutes - 9.39 MB2020 has finally gone away. Thank you for all your support last year! Let's celebrate 2021 with some New Year chat with Danny and Dr. Mike!
Episode 107: Christmas Day Stocking Filler!
December 25, 2020 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16.5 MBIn this bonus episode join Mike and Danny around the Christmas table to share in the nut roast or roast festive bird - entirely your choice, we have both. Consider the existential issues relating to wearing or refusing to wear the paper cracker crown, would you do it? According to Danny Wittgenstein would totally be in to it. Enjoy the glee and excitement as Kant unwraps his Christmas gifts - will he like them or will he regift next year? Would David Hume or Soren Kierkegaard be the best per...
Episode 106: Wonderful Yuletide Special Part 2
December 23, 2020 00:00 - 43 minutes - 31 MBThis week Mike and Danny get all festive around the Wtf hearth. What are the traditions that inform our festive journey? Is 'secret santa' a blasphemous blight upon gift givings ability to stimulate memory of the other or is it just that I am peevish because I always end up with socks? Is it really a wonderful life in spite of all the ups and downs of the past year? Will Danny ever get his wings? Join us this week for a festive sing song as we reprise our chart topping Christmas classic - l...
Episode 105: Ep. 122 Wonderful Yuletide Special
December 16, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 19.8 MB'Atlas Shrugged' burning on an open fire, Mike and Danny nipping at your nose! Yes, it's that magical time of year when everything has a light covering of snow and we remember our liminal winter traditions. It's balls, nuts, stuffing and festive innuendo all the way. Join Mike and Danny round the WTF hearth as we share a mulled beverage with our philosophers of choice. Reflect on whether it really is a wonderful life. But don't worry if it isn't, you've kept the receipt so you can return it ...
Episode 104: Ep. 121 Humanity Part 5
December 09, 2020 00:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBThis week join Mike and Danny as they seek to establish their unique identities in the world. Marvel as Mike admits to bizarre restaurant based existential choices. Is anything enough for Danny? Does existence precede essence? Does the chicken precede the egg? Some of these questions and more will be on the agenda this week as our gift to you. But hang on, there is more! Yes, let Mike and Danny unfold the instructions to human existence and search in vain for the allen key that will ...
Episode 103: Ep. 120 Humanity Part 4
December 02, 2020 00:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBThis week join Mike and Danny as they strip humanity down to its boxers to see what is left of its identity. Are we nothing more than the sum of our memories and if that is true what effect does it have when I forget where I put my key? What happens when the JPEG that is humanity has too many pixels removed for the picture to be clearly seen? When we get to the point where we start singing “daisy, daisy, give me your answer do” has the essence of what we are been lost? Listen in as M...
Episode 102: Ep. 119 Humanity Part 3
November 25, 2020 00:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBThis week join Danny and Mike as they subject subjectivity to the subjective gaze. Is one person's meat really another’s poison? Is there no accounting for taste? Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Is humanity really something absolute that establishes us as unique and inviolable or is it a sliding scale? A moveable feast of ingredients that is endlessly variable? Wrinkle your nose up in mild disgust as Mike brings dog poo to the table - is it really, objectively less lovely than...
Ep. 118 Humanity Part 2
November 18, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 18.6 MBThis week join Mike and Danny as they play "Plato’s Republic the Role Playing Game”! Yes, join in the fun and excitement of living in a utopian society but first you need to roll a character. Grab your dice and see what you end up with - will you be a leader, a philosopher king? Perhaps the dice will not fall exactly in your favour and you end up with high organisational stats and have to settle for the somewhat less exciting life of an administrator or military leader. If you really...
Ep. 117 Humanity Part 1
November 11, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 18.6 MBThis week join Danny and Mike as they indulge their animal appetites to see just how far they can go before compromising their essential humanity. What, exactly, is a human being? Are you one? How do you know? Don’t give me that! Oh, we can all SAY that we are human beings but talk is cheap - unless of course you are Wittgenstein. Is humanity something that happens to us or do we in some way make it happen? Is it passive or active? When does protection of an essential human character...
Ep. 116 Monsters! Part 3
November 04, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes - 17.3 MBThis week join us in humble thanks as we celebrate the triumphant return of Danny. Hear him utter the word “Wittgenstein” and rejoice! Also this week, the fearsome threat of … WOMEN! Yes friends, bury your face in your hands as monstrous females don trousers and exercise power beyond their hormone fuelled comprehension* Flee the enchantresses, the sucubi and the bewitching monsters that seek to subvert reason. Listen in as Sorren the archeologist clues us in to why Medusa was so cranky. What...
Ep.115. Monsters! Part 2
October 28, 2020 00:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MBThis week, from the non-euclidean nightmare that is WTF, oozes a podcast that should never be. Listen in unbridled terror as you witness the hideous mass heave itself from the pit to confront the heavens with its unnatural appearance. Attend, in slack jawed amazement as the unspeakable thing assails your ears with its unholy mutterings. Feel the inevitable paralysis creep into your very soul as the full horror of a podcast that is half a thing of nature and half a thing of science perverted ...
Ep. 114 Monsters!
October 21, 2020 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBIt’s close to midnight, something evil’s lurkin’ in the dark. Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream. Yes, you better run as Danny and Mike shamble from the WTF tomb in search of horrors beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals. Listen in as the gruesome twosome recite the arcane rituals which summon up the crawling chaos that is Sorren the archaeologist. This week we delve into the unknown, cross thresholds, defy liminal moments and generally w...
Ep.113 Knowledge Wars Part 4
October 14, 2020 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16.9 MBThis week join our know-it-all podcast as Mike and Danny once more don the vestments of the epistemological priesthood and lead you, but only if you are truly repentant, into the light of clear and certain understanding. Bow in veneration at the combined feet of your gurus as we, the custodians of all that is true and real, weigh you in the balance. Will you be found wanting or will you pass into blessed enlightenment? Is your salvation dependent upon the sum total of all your experi...
Ep.112 Knowledge Wars Part 3
October 07, 2020 00:00 - 29 minutes - 21.2 MBThis week listen in as Mike provides entirely the wrong blurb for this episode! Blink in disbelief and confusion as that blurb mysteriously vanishes to be replaced by this one. Did the original blurb ever truly exist? If it did, where is it now and ought you to receive immediate therapy? Perception, can it really be trusted to provide you with an accurate account of reality or is reality merely what we perceive and are some of you still tenaciously clinging to the original blurb? Joi...
Ep.111 Knowledge Wars Part 2
September 30, 2020 00:00 - 30 minutes - 22.1 MBThis week join Mike and Danny as they draw data from the physical world thus challenging the gods themselves! Listen in as they assault the very heavens armed with nothing more than a doughnut and their 5 senses. Yes knowledge, what does it taste like? how do we gain it? What do we do with it when we have it? Is there big knowledge and small knowledge? Knowledge is power but ignorance is bliss - place your bets ladies and gentlemen! Let Mike and Danny be your gatekeeper to the secret...
Ep.110 Knowledge Wars Part 1
September 23, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 19.2 MBThis week, knowing me, knowing you! Listen in as Mike and Danny ask the question “Do you know enough?” Look on in mild amusement as we feverishly search for the instruction manual to the thrownness of being. Encounter rising panic as Danny freezes up creating a period of embarrassing dead air around about 10:18. Are we born with enough knowledge to find our extremities with both hands? Can we walk in a straight line or do we need to be taught? Do we need words to form knowledge? What...
Ep.109 Kant Vs. Bentham The Final
September 16, 2020 00:00 - 27 minutes - 19.4 MBThis week we come to the end of the Kant/Bentham rumble. Who will be judged victorious and who will have to swallow the bitter dregs of defeat? Listen in as Kant delivers his signature “categorical smack down’ move. Will Bentham’s "hedonic round house” be sufficient to counter the Crusher from Konigsberg? Bow your heads in reverence and let Mike and Danny root out the evils of the world and join them as they punch it on the nose and teach it a righteous lesson. Is a straightforward l...
Ep. 108. Kant Vs. Bentham Part 4
September 09, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 19.2 MBThis week - do we really want the truth? What would we do with it? Better a comfortable lie, right? Consider, if you will, the existential anguish of the “extensive menu” - do we get incapacitated by indecision the more options we are given? What would you prefer, Mike’s Spam Egg & Chips, Spam and Chips or just plain Spam OR will you go for Danny’s 150 dish tasting menu with a selection of starters and deserts? Will you be lusting after what other people have ordered once the food ar...
Ep.107 Kant Vs. Bentham Part 3
September 02, 2020 00:00 - 20 minutes - 14.8 MBThis week, if you’re happy and you know it please contact Mike and Danny with details. Yes, it’s the greatest happiness for the greatest number folks. Join Mike and Danny as they decide on the minimum amount of happiness required for them to get up in the morning. What, exactly, do we have a right too? Are we really “worth it”? Listen in as Danny all but admits to speeding at 2 o’clock in the morning because, what harm can it do, right? Nod in sage wisdom as Mike shakes his head in ...
Ep.106 Kant Vs. Bentham Part 2
August 26, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBThis week join Dr Mike as he gives a mad axeman Danny’s exact postal address and contact details, just in case. Listen carefully and take extensive notes as Mike and Danny consider what the untestable beliefs are that ground their understanding of reality. Do we have to assume an absolute judge in order to be good guys or can we work it out as we go along? Just how fast can nonsense travel on stilts? Settle back and lightly oil yourselves down as Bentham argues for an ethic based on...
Ep. 105 Philosopher Cage Fight! Kant Vs. Bentham Part 1
August 19, 2020 00:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBJoin Mike and Danny this week as they pull up at the traffic lights and start revving the engine to show off to their mates. Stick with them as the lights change, they drop the clutch, release the breaks and the philosophical wheels start to spin. Gaze on in uncritical adoration as they screech away burning philosophical rubber to play chicken with Kant and Bentham. Who will blink first, how far will this go? Squeeze up onto the back seat, jump on the running board and live dangerous...
Ep. 104 Film Night: The Day the Earth Stood Still
August 12, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 19.6 MBThis week join Mike and Danny as they settle in for their final movie of the night. Once again we ask the question - are we safe to be let out by ourselves or do we need supervision? Without guidance are we doomed to forever run, with scissors, through the corridors of history and stick our fingers in to the fires of eternity? Nod wisely in thoughtful consideration as we ask the question - should we as a species be taken into care and not permitted to have sharp objects, for our own good? Ye...
Ep. 103 Film Night: 2001 A Space Odyssey
August 05, 2020 00:00 - 22 minutes - 16.2 MBThis week join Mike and Danny at the monolith as they discover the joys of hitting each other over the head with pieces of bone. Yes we travel back 19 years into the future (you work it out) to ask the question, how do we develop? Is it important to be lead out of the cave by more enlightened minds or would we eventually find our own way out? What triggers human evolution? Do we need a guide or are we dependent on the well meaning intervention of those who have gone before? What are the chal...
Ep. 102 Film Night: A Matter of Life and Death
July 29, 2020 00:00 - 25 minutes - 18.1 MBThis week we ask the question, what is the difference between a blow to the head, a religious experience and an aberrant psychological condition? Is the after life really in black and white or are other realities, as Dorothy will attest, actually more colourful than the one we know? Will there be dogs in heaven? Join Mike and Danny once more on the stairway to heaven as they ask the question - what has philosophy ever done for us? Can Plato help you get a date? Does Aristotle know how to use...
Ep. 101 Film Night Part 7
July 22, 2020 00:00 - 21 minutes - 15.9 MBThis week join Mike and Danny on a shopping spree as they take to the Mall. Yes, it’s all there to be consumed, just join the crowd and head on over.

Listen in as Mike and Danny act all tough over the phone but avoid actual face to face confrontation. Yes, this week we consider the 1936 film version of HG Wells “Things to Come” - an epic exploration of human savagery, nobility and indomitable exploration of the universe or an hour and a half promotional video for Engineering and Science degrees? Is shooting anyone who looks like they may be unwell the ...

Listen in unbounded admiration as Danny comes to the defence of the weak and disadvantaged while Mike sneaks round the back to make off with their valuables. What is the ethics of responsibility? Who can afford honour? Is expediency the only pragmatic route to survival and is honour an outmoded concept always destined to end up in the mud missing it's trainers and it's phone? As ever, take a side and ride

Ep. 97 Film Night Part 3
June 24, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBTune in this week as Mike and Danny start to listen to the voices in their heads OR are the voices listening to Mike and Danny? How coherent is our identity? What would it take to separate out one voice from our internal cacophony? If only there were some sort of medication we could take? Step forward Dr Jekyll and his patented bottled "two weeks half board in Ibiza” guaranteed to lubricate the ID and release the good time in even the most upright of individuals. Don’t like the idea of swig...
Ep. 96 Film Night Part Two
June 17, 2020 00:00 - 31 minutes - 22.5 MBThis week the lights have gone down, the adverts have run and the trailers have been noted. Join Mike and Danny as the annoying kid behind them starts kicking the back of their seats while the couple next to them keep checking their phones and talking too loudly. What do we have to hope for? Are children really the future or are they just the repetition of all our past mistakes in hipper clothes? What is our responsibility for the things that we bring into the world? Are there things that hu...
Ep. 95 Film Night
June 10, 2020 00:00 - 20 minutes - 15 MBHaving dragged their way through the historic corridors of philosophy Danny and Mike emerge from the mists of time in need of some R & R, a good long bath and some clean clothes. Listen in this week as our weary philosonauts hang up their togas, berets and black roll-neck jumpers and put their feet up for a well earned change of pace and a large glass of something tasty from the cellars. Sink back into the WTF wingback leather chairs as teams of house servants return the piles of learned tom...
Ep. 94 Postmodernism Part 4
June 03, 2020 00:00 - 28 minutes - 21 MBThis week listen in with all due deference as Danny and Mike … no, hang on, I’m not doing this. Why should I impose a narrative on you? The cast is out there now, you make of it what you will. Look, I’ll even leave you space to construct your own blurb, enough of this authorial priority, you go to it. I’ll just sit here and watch. Away you go then. [ ] There, see, not as easy as it looks is it? Oh yes, we all want to march to the beat of our own drum and throw away the rule book but...

Ep. 91 Postmodernism Part 2
May 20, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes - 18 MBThis week, Mike succumbs to the pressures of the time and mentions Wittgenstein before Danny does. Listen in with mounting disappointment as Danny makes the obvious Lyotard gag - low hanging fruit bro, low hanging fruit. What is the condition of postmodernity? Who was the irritating student who suggested that the movement following postmodernism should be called post-postmodernism? Guess at the kind of grade they received for their final philosophy exam, go on, guess! Yes this week, ...
