Btec Philosophers: Recent Episodes
elliotsteel1608
Comedians Elliot Steel and Michael Odewale love philosophy. However at school you’d have found them both in bottom set, and like most people from bottom set they now have a podcast.
Each week they try to navigate being young men by applying theories from philosophy to their lives.Their personal dilemmas, quick wit and Btec education make for a hilarious podcast.
We had to censor some names on this one because of a joke Michael makes. Full ep on the patreon for 1 pound a month. The boys are on tour so make sure to check their profiles for lives dates.
And we are back, things have been mental in the build up to the fringe but normal service has resumed
Elliot talks about ending up in a Sundays time best seller. And Mike makes some beautifully poignant points about life.

The boys talk about shame, is shame good for you? Can shame be bad? Spoiler alert they don't figure it out but they are hilarious and probably should feel shame for the things they say in this ep.
The Btec boys discuss is there a good reason to deal drugs and what is the responsibility of the drug dealers and users. Of course neither have ever done any and this is purely for entertainment purposes only.
