    S1E2: Interview with Socrates

    Episode 2: Socrates — The Original Question Machine What if your podcast guest is waiting to die, calmly sipping wisdom in an Athenian prison… and still asking you the questions? In Episode 2 of Hey Everybody, Philosophy!, host Jeff D. sits down with Socrates — the man, the myth, the professional irritant — after his death sentence but before the hemlock kicks in. This is not a lecture. It’s an interrogation. (Mostly of us.) Together, Jeff and Socrates explore: Why Socrates never wrote anything down (and why that somehow worked out great for him)The Socratic Method — what it really is, why it still matters, and how it accidentally paved the way for the scientific methodWhy questioning authority got him executed (and why he’d do it again)What it means to live a good life without deleting Netflix or moving to a caveWhether TikTok makes us wiser or worse, if AI can be virtuous, and which is more corrupt: Wall Street or the Athenian AgoraHow to practice philosophy at home — no toga requiredThere are laughs. There are genuine insights. There may even be a philosophical debate about hot dogs. Socrates believed the unexamined life is not worth living — but does that mean we’re all doing it wrong? Or just not asking the right questions? 🎙️ Episode 2. One philosopher. Zero answers. Infinite questions. Press play… if you dare to be questioned.

    S1E1: Interview with Confucius

    Confucius: The Original Life Coach (500 BCE Edition) What if you could sit down with Confucius — yes, that Confucius — and actually ask him what he meant? In this episode of Hey Everybody, Philosophy!, host Jeff D interviews the legendary thinker who became the backbone of Chinese culture, moral philosophy, government exams, polite behavior, and — let’s be honest — at least half the inspirational wall art in coffee shops. But who was Confucius really? We talk: Why he started teaching in the first placeWhat it means to “govern by virtue” instead of forceWhy manners (yes, manners!) are the secret engine of civilizationThe real meaning of ren, li, and The WayAnd how The Analects became the most influential “accidental group chat transcript” in historyAnd then — oh yes — we make him do a Speed Round, where he weighs in on: The Super BowlThe stock marketAIMarriageThe general fate of humanity (light stuff!)Confucius is thoughtful. Calm. Unshakably wise. Jeff is… trying his best. If you’ve ever wondered: Why Confucius still mattersWhat his ideas look like in the real worldOr whether ancient philosophy can survive modern nonsense— this is your episode. Come hear the wisdom. Stay for the laughter. Leave with way too many questions.
