ABOUT THE POD
Philosophy is an important academic subject, one we believe everyone should be exposed to and explore. But philosophy can also feel distant and abstract to many people. The Grindstone is an ‘armchair interviews with philosophers’ podcast that gets to know the people who study and teach philosophy, and tries to apply some of their wisdom to the world around us.
We let the conversations unfold in their own way, but we try to cover three topics with all of our guests:
We also occasionally interview people who majored in philosophy and went on to careers in various industries outside of academia to ask them how their education in philosophy prepared them for and applies to their current work.
The conversations are informal, organic, and go where they go. We hope that they are informative and insightful. And we hope that you enjoy them. Thanks for listening!

In the final episode of The Grindstone's COVID-19 series, our guests share their thoughts on how this pandemic is changing, will change, and could change the world...for better and for worse. Topics of discussion include technology’s role in our experience of this pandemic, what the economic crisis might mean for the future, what we can expect as we return to school, when we can expect things to return to normal - whether or not such a thing is possible - and what positive societal growth may come out of these challenges.
Today's guests are: Dr. Audrey Ruple, Assistant Professor of One Health Epidemiology at Purdue; Dr. Kevin Harrelson, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Ball State University; Dr. Jillian Carr, Assistant Professor of Economics at Purdue; PhD candidate in the Department of History at Purdue, Caitlin Fendley; Dr. Dan Kelly, Professor of Philosophy at Purdue; Dr. Nilupa Gunaratna, Assistant Professor of Public Health at Purdue; and Dr. David Bernard, an emergency pediatrics physician in Birmingham, AL.
Special thanks to Al Terity for all the new sounds.
Thanks for listening and enjoy!
