The Fake Philosophers

Society EN ↓ 130 episodes

Danny, Eddie, Mike, and Mitch are a group of friends who met each other doing community theater over a decade ago. Now they get together, crack open some beers, and dive head first into conversations and share their non-expert opinions on philosophy, politics, pop culture, and more. Listen weekly (or when we feel like it) to hear honest opinions, intriguing discussion, and rants without the grifting and theatrics you see on many programs... Okay, me may include some theatrics.
