    An Interview with Martin Parr

    I was very saddened to hear of the death of photographer Martin Parr on the 6th of December last year. Parr had a singular, signature style which defied low-brow / high-brow distinctions. In 2011 I interviewed Parr at an event tied in to an exhibition of his work at Bristol's M Shed. I dug out the recording, which has never been released, and have edited for this special microphilosophy podcast. Listening to it, I'm not convinced I asked the best questions but Parr always gave very interesting answers.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Stand-up Philosophy

    We’re at the midpoint of series five of Microphilosophy, in which I’ve been discussing the habits and virtues of highly effective thinkers with guest philosophers. We’ll be resuming these episodes after the easter break. For now, here’s a recording of an experimental live stand up philosophy performance that has been sitting in my archive for several years. Whereas the series so far has been about how to think like a good philosopher, this one explores what happens if you apply philosophical methods in wildly inappropriate and opportunistic ways..  Hosted on Acast.
