Ever felt like the Internet is actually dead, or that NPCs (or aliens) are glitching amongst us? Well, you’re in good company here at the Deeply Weekly on Philosophical.Chat podcast.
Let’s cut through the nonsensical noise bouncing around the echo chambers of the world wide web, and ask questions that really matter. All topics are fair game — from the importance of pivotal moments in history to the mysteries that keep curious minds awake at night.

From ancient thinkers and modern movements, to A Philosophical podcast but not as you know it!
