Description

A quick one for you today spawned from a real discussion that Anthony and Jake recently had. Ever the cynic and hater of celebrity culture, upon hearing that Greta Thunberg was releasing a book, Anthony was a little miffed - is this capitalist/celebrity co-opting? Jake fights the case in defence of what he rates as quite a good book! Hear it all here.

Do you enjoy asking the big questions in life? Or the medium-sized questions? And then debating them with your friends? We can't promise to help you win every argument, but in this podcast, join us as we debate all kinds of everyday issues. With clear definitions, and some help from philosophers throughout history, we break down the key arguments of questions like "Should billionaires exist?", "Is God a good thing?" and many more. We're Jake and Ant, two friends who studied a mix of philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford. We started this podcast during Covid-19, and what began as a lockdown hobby to curb our own boredom has somehow ended up becoming one of the Top 2% of podcasts worldwide. It’s been flatteringly described as “Like listening to your mates argue in the pub, except they’re not rude to each other and they sound like they know what they’re talking about”. Well, when we do our research anyway.
