Episode Synopsis

For the first series of From What We Gathered, we've picked friendship as our primary subject to massage our brains with philosophical consideration. Kicking off the whole thing is a discussion of Hellenistic powerhouse, Aristotle, and his friendship species. By identifying the types of friendships we invest our time in, we might be able to redirect our attentions to deeper and more fulfilling relationships, but we can also enjoy a couple of mental moments of tossing our friends in the sorting hat and see if they shake out as friends of pleasure, utility or virtue.

Want to skip the pressure of listening but want to enjoy a vague after episode 'assignment'? Text/call a friend of virtue and let them know they are more than just a bff, they make you a better person. 🥰
