Hey Everybody Philosophy!
Hey Everybody Philosophy! is the show where history’s greatest thinkers stop being statues and start being guests. Each episode, we sit down with a philosopher who shaped the world — and ask them the questions nobody put on their marble plaques. What did they actually mean? What were they really like? And… would they do well on TikTok?
Come for the wisdom. Stay for the surprises.

Episode 2: Socrates — The Original Question Machine
What if your podcast guest is waiting to die, calmly sipping wisdom in an Athenian prison… and still asking you the questions?
In Episode 2 of Hey Everybody, Philosophy!, host Jeff D. sits down with Socrates — the man, the myth, the professional irritant — after his death sentence but before the hemlock kicks in.
This is not a lecture.
It’s an interrogation. (Mostly of us.)
Together, Jeff and Socrates explore:
- Why Socrates never wrote anything down (and why that somehow worked out great for him)
- The Socratic Method — what it really is, why it still matters, and how it accidentally paved the way for the scientific method
- Why questioning authority got him executed (and why he’d do it again)
- What it means to live a good life without deleting Netflix or moving to a cave
- Whether TikTok makes us wiser or worse, if AI can be virtuous, and which is more corrupt: Wall Street or the Athenian Agora
- How to practice philosophy at home — no toga required
There are laughs.
There are genuine insights.
There may even be a philosophical debate about hot dogs.
Socrates believed the unexamined life is not worth living — but does that mean we’re all doing it wrong? Or just not asking the right questions?
🎙️ Episode 2. One philosopher. Zero answers. Infinite questions.
Press play… if you dare to be questioned.
