This is the one where Élaina introduces the podcast! Hi! My name is Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril and I’m the host of a new fortnightly podcast: Philosophy Casting Call! Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Well, this is not about them! Philosophy Casting Call is where I, your friendly neighbourhood philosopher, interview professors, grad students, and non-academics to find out what philosophy looks like now and try to shine a spotlight on thinkers, topics, and themes that are underrepresented in academic philosophy. If you are into discovering more about the philosophy of disability or how one gets involved with teaching aesthetics in a women’s jail, this podcast is for you. Listen to and follow Philosophy Casting Call every other week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Good Pods, and most other places starting May 31.
