Philosophy tackles big, serious issues. But when current events are so serious and depressing that you feel exhausted and just want a break from it all, philosophy is here for you too. It is summer, after all, a time that is supposed to be all fun and games. So, to distract you from all the bad news, we've put together some episodes from the archive that deal with light hearted topics. We've got baseball and other games, superheros, and comedy. Take a load off and take a listen!
