Ep. 285 -Soliciting Joe Folley's Unsolicited Philosophical Advice
Grab a copy of issue one of my new philosophical science fiction & fantasy magazine here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ParkerZines In episode 285 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by my new friend, Joe Folley of @unsolicitedadvice9198 (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCW71hQg1kDxmFIfijA8dL0Q). It was a genuine pleasure to talk with this dude! I had planned to talk for an hour but we were having such a great time we ended up going over 2 hours. He is a clear thinker and has a good philosophical mind but what I appreciate most is his intellectual honesty and humbleness. He's a really great guy. You'll love this episode.
