Læs mere From What We Gathered

From What We Gathered is a podcast series that explores everyday concepts through the ideas of a variety of philosophers. Inviting the audience to join along in consideration of some of life’s perennial questions, co-hosts Dani Nelson and Kylie Shahar weigh in on these ideas from their different backgrounds. While Dani’s educational background is mostly (entirely?) of the informal, self-driven sort, she shares her understanding and vault of historical context-setting knowledge with Kylie’s conversational (so, don’t worry: unscholarly!) chit-chat, which is shaped by her formal training as a professional philosopher. If you enjoy enriching your mind with a new way of thinking about ordinary and familiar ideas, or you just want to benefit from the remnants of old wisdom (peppered with contemporary scenarios) in a lively humorous spirit, join us on From What We Gathered. Series 1 focuses on friendship as we explore one of the most fundamentally human relationships as we discuss what ties us to people outside of our immediate family. Do we need friends for a good life? What guardrails make some friendships easy and others difficult? Can we ourselves be the optimal friend?

The Good Life: Ep 7 Émilie du Châtelet

The level of excitement I have over Émilie du Châtelet cannot be contained. This philosopher, mathematician and physicist may have been the coolest person to ever live. In this episode of From What We Gathered, we'll discuss her stance on the necessity of illusions when it comes to happiness. We'll also talk about how she used fencing as a means of avoiding marriage, because, why wouldn't we?

The Good Life: Ep 6 Denis Diderot

We ask you to consider when education is part of your virtuous development and when it might become a burden, but mostly we talk about Diderot. Join us on From What we Gathered as we move into the Enlightenment.

The Good Life Ep 5: Saint Thomas Aquinas

Covering Catholic Philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas, we'll discuss the addition of hope, faith and charity to the virtues that give us a shot at The Good Life. Famous for his mega publication, Summa Theologica, Aquinas brings Aristotle and Christian thought into alignment while clarifying and documenting Catholic doctrine. As promised, we made sure to find out where his girdle lives. In case you want to add it to your Continental Tour, hit up the Dominican Church in Chieri, Italy, located near Turin

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
