#142 - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Drunken Philosophy
About this episode

(Apologies for the white noise, Dan recorded this episode on vinyl) Connor and Dan brave the California winter storms to bring you an episode on Friedrich Nietzsche's experimental novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra. They're talkin' Ubermensch. They're talkin' eternal recurrence. And, of course, even though nobody asked them to, they're talkin' Star Wars. Stay spoke y'all!
