Barry Lam is the host of Hi-Phi Nation, which is a much better
podcast than this one, and which is devoted to exploring pressing
philosophical questions through narrative. He did his graduate
work at Princeton, then taught at Vassar, and will soon be
picking up a new professorial post at UC Riverside. In this
episode Robinson and Barry discuss the philosophical problems
posed by certain monsters that were the subject of a three-part
series in Hi-Phi Nation (namely zombies, cannibals, and
vampires), along with David Lewis, the role of imagination in
philosophy, and the risks of devoting time to public philosophy
in an academic world that doesn’t prioritize it.
