Fishnets & Philosophy

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.

BONUS EPISODE - A Conversation with The Adams Family

This conversation was one of my favourite conversations of 2023. It took a lot longer than I had anticipated to release this episode, but unfortunately life had got in the way. I hope you gain as much from listening to this conversation as I had as a participant, one of those conversations that is nourishing food for the soul. You can find The Adams Family here: https://wonderwheelproductions.com/pages/about.php

Took a bit longer than I desired to release this episode but finally we have made it - an entire year of asking the question "Why Horror?" I want to thank every single person for following along and engaging with this season and I am entirely grateful to every single guest who offered up their time to chat with me - without you my podcast would only be half as interesting. In relation to this episode - I am so grateful to Mike for agreeing to come onto the show - he was the perfect guest to help close out this season, and I am so excited for the future of this podcast.
