    Episode C. Laches: What is courage? (Platonic Ethics: Part I)

    TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. Now that that's out of the way, we get a bit hyperbolic in this episode but, nonetheless, we must face this dialogue with courage in our search for the truth. Wait, what's courage? We examine the question with stunningly terrible audio.   More of a visual learner?

SPOILER END NOTE IN REFERENCE TO THE PODCAST EPISODE:     Or could it be both? Or, even, perhaps neither?
