Plato’s Cave

July 17, 2025 12:00 am
I’m Jordan Myers and I’m a PhD student studying philosophy at USC. Plato’s Cave is my attempt to exit… well, the cave. It’s a philosophy podcast meant to help me guide my ascent to the real world, the truth, the place where life is worth living; and apparently that means giving up a regular job with good pay to pursue the security of the academic job market – the philosophy job market nonetheless! Join me on my journey as I cover philosophical works and speak with the best philosophical minds I can convince to come on the show!
