About Philosime

A podcast reviewing/discussing anime and manga in the context of art, philosophy, politics, and whatever else pertains. Originally, "Animanga", but I changed it because (1) this title is better, (2) there's another podcast with the name Animanga. go listen to them! they're also on spotify!! (credit to my ex for coming up with the new title). Unfortunately, the RSS URL still remains "animanga", so until I can change it, that is how it shall remain. Check out my substack! I post updates, references, and essays there: https://substack.com/@beatthefallacy?r=5bztzs&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page (https://substack.com/@beatthefallacy?r=5bztzs&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page) Buy me a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/lilianthium (https://ko-fi.com/lilianthium) Join me on twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/lilianthium (https://www.twitch.tv/lilianthium)
