5ft.philosophy
5FT. Philosophy is an editorial philosophy podcast by Knowlo, the 5FT. Philosopher.
This podcast examines culture, power, language, memory, and modern life through history, philosophy, and lived experience.
These aren’t hot takes or motivational speeches. They’re slow, thoughtful breakdowns of how narratives are shaped, how systems protect themselves, and how people make meaning in a noisy world.
New episodes explore topics like revisionist history, media manipulation, parasocial relationships, political language, and the stories we’re encouraged to forget.
This is philosophy for people who feel like something’s off and want to understand why.
Think critically. Stay curious. Read between the lines.
