Hey guys, this is a midi recording of a polyphonic composition I made back in August, and I felt like releasing it before the end of the year. It's mainly experimentation, and I'm experience with compositions of this nature but maybe I'll make more! Hope you enjoy. - E
In this episode, I talk about what I think is one of the funniest passages the famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato's Republic, and it's on the role of the musician in society. (Credit to Librivox for the free public domain recording.)
I just wanted to record this quick episode in honor of Michael Brooks, who was a very influential political voice for me. It was really sad to hear of his unexpected passing on monday, and even more so by knowing how much grief his absence will bring to those who knew him best. R.I.P. Michael Brooks. :(
Hey guys! In this episode I'm honored to welcome social justice activist and rapper AWKWORD, a co-creator of the "Ten Demands for Justice: The Road to Abolition" movement, (which can be found at www.tenforjustice.com). The movement is aimed in the short term at achieving police accountability, and in the long-term at defunding and abolishing the police in the U.S. We have an engaging discussion about his movement.
In this episode, I introduce the famous French humanist philosopher, Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592), and talk about a particular quote that I found in one of his essays.
In this episode, I play a short excerpt (about 10 mins) of the free Librivox audiobook of Plato's "Phaedo," in which Plato, writing through the characters of Socrates and his friends, narrates the death of Socrates in a very emotional way.
Hey guys, since this is the "Philosophy, Music, and Politics Podcast," I figured I'd give you some music. Now, this is not very intricate music; but, being primarily a drummer, it is a beat that I created randomly. - Evan.
In this episode, I read and comment on the words of Marcus Aurelius (121-180AD) in the opening passage of book 2 of his "Meditations." I believe these insights are of profound importance to us nowadays, especially in light of this covid situation, as they will be in future ages as well.

In this episode I talk about my feelings on a certain quote from Marcus Aurelius' book "Meditations". The quote is about trying to act in our daily lives according to the "perfect principles of art," or as I would interpret it, trying to act with excellence, as much as possible.
