Join Sophie Murphy on Philosophy Pheed, where she interviews an array of philosophers from across the globe in a quest to locate truth through the investigation of ethical, metaphysical and epistemological matters. Philosophy Pheed is a show which aims to deconstruct difficult, abstract concepts like paradoxes and semantics into consumable piecemeal quantities.

But after all it is soup, and soup is indeed easy to eat, arguably the easiest of all foods.
