Technology is a tricky thing. When it works, it’s wonderful, and when it doesn’t… heads explode. For the most part, BF’s first foray into high-tech recording went swimmingly. We did have a couple of complications, but despite having to crowd around a single AKG condenser microphone, our intrepid panel managed to record one of the best BFs yet. Dr. Webb joined us to tackle Kevin’s simple-yet-deep question: “Is man unnatural?” As you can see by the tag list, said tackling took us on a bit of a wild ride. Less “Bad,” more “Philosophy,” totally BF. Enjoy the show…

Just listened to your episode and it was cool. Although th part after the brain in vats / matrix was a little hard to follow I enjoyed thr show. I bought the book “Sophie’s World” cause the podcast interested me into this. Haven’t finished it yet but I will.
Enjoy the making of the show
