There is no better time to contemplate the meaning of your existence than a Tuesday.

Tackle the meaty questions of life, using philosophical tools and some lessons from the school of Positive Psychology.

We curiously dive through the principles of physics and the lessons of history to contemplate the effect of time on our lives. Opposingly we examine the effects of our life on everything else and why we even do things.

Along the way, we'll take on ideas from Ghengis Kahn and Julius Caesar to songwriting and dancing. Some questions answered"

  • What makes something worth doing?
  • What is the point of Legacy?
  • How can I be consistently happier?
  • Why does no one want to be a mummy (Egyptian style) these days?
  • What is the coolest saying ever?

This is one of our more 'out there' episodes and Sam would like you to know he has not been taking drugs and that he is always like this.
