For many young people, Philosophy comes with a certain air of unapproachability. Traditional ideas of how the subject is discussed, evoke an image of bearded old men, seated at a round table, debating hopelessly impractical things. The Philosophy Phirst podcast aims to democratise philosophy for younger people by contextualizing discussion in the experiences of modern youth.
