The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast

PEL Presents PvI#66: Legacy Mops w/ Kevin Allison

Kevin is the creator and host of the storytelling podcast <a href="https://www.risk-show.com/">RISK!</a> and is the alphabetically foremost member of the MTV-televised, newly reformed, celebrity-infested sketch comedy troupe <a href="https://davidwain.com/thestate">The State</a>. But can he improvise? Mark and Bill surprise Kevin into a scene about a suspicious hotel. How does one engineer one's legacy? Will history inevitably either reduce your greatest contributions to mere noise or reinterpret them in light of your final, embarrassing moments? Perhaps the legendary comedy team of Ricky and Lester can serve as a scenic example; let's let them say a little about who they are and how their career reached its current nadir. Mark philosophizes at <a href="https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">partiallyexaminedlife.com</a>. Bill improvises (and teaches) at <a href="https://chicagoimprovstudio.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">chicagoimprovstudio.com</a>. <a href="http://philosophyimprov.com/">Hear more at philosophyimprov.com</a>.

The Partially Examined Life is a podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a short text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion. For links to the texts we discuss and other info, check out www.partiallyexaminedlife.com.

We also feature episodes from other podcasts by our hosts to round out your partially examined life, including Pretty Much Pop (prettymuchpop.com, covering all media), Nakedly Examined Music (nakedlyexaminedmusic.com, deconstructing songs), Philosophy vs. Improv (philosophyimprov.com, fun with performance skills and philosophical ideas), and (sub)Text (subtextpodcast.com, looking deeply at lit and film).
