The joke that made me leave this review
I switched from Apple Music to Spotify recently and started listening to podcasts there as well. During the episode “Plato’s Republic 6” and the part with the discussion of the soul, I was absolutely tickled by what I believe must have been a reference to Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I can’t think of another context where I’ve heard “boy’s soul” and “boy’s hole” confused for comedic purposes. That was the push I needed to come all the way back from Spotify to the apple podcast app and leave a review. I think the name of this show is incredibly clever and as someone who is living unemployed in his high school bedroom with a 2019 vintage political science degree, I find the perspectives in this show incredibly refreshing after 4 frustrating years of my complaints in political theory classes about the incompatibility of these abstract ideas with lived political reality falling on deaf ears.
