Interview with an Alien

Philosophy Podcasts

Formerly Drunk & Philosophical, Interview with an Alien was born from a simple realization: deep conversations are disappearing. We’ve traded curiosity and wonder for small talk and scrolling. 📱 I started this podcast to bring authentic conversations back — one curious, meaningful (and sometimes wild) episode at a time. 🎙️ While I’m taking a break to focus on YouTube, you can still binge plenty of awesome episodes! 👽 Check out my channel, Bucket List Kid (linked in every episode description). 📺

Attempt to survive under water for 12 hours using only a snorkel to breathe OR stand on one leg for 24 hours using only a cane to balance but if at any point you fall, you die? Attempt to survive through a tsunami directly hitting your house OR 3 tornados directly hitting your house? Go 30 days without any food but you get all of your required nutrients injected into you every day OR be forced to lose 21lbs in 7 days? Attempt to survive a grizzly bear attack OR a lion attack? Let a random person you’ll never meet suddenly drop dead OR force feed yourself 10 000 calories in 1 hour BUT if you fail, then you die? Be dropped deep into the woods, 200 KM from civilization in the Yukon with nothing but a knife OR dropped into the middle of the pacific ocean with a wet suit where you’ll have to wait 12 hours for your rescue ship to pick you up?

#77 - The Art of Storytelling 📖

9/29/2024
Welcome to the podcast based around the idea that our everyday conversations get boring as we adult so we ask thought provoking questions that you can bring to the dinner table, discuss with your partner or ask your dog to spice up your everyday conversation!

Do fictional characters have their own “lives” once created, or do they only exist in the mind of the reader or writer? Can absence of information create a more powerful narrative? As humans, we gravitate towards stories with conflict. It almost seems that every story we tell, has conflict. Could a story without conflict still be compelling? How do stories help us process emotions and experiences that we struggle to express directly in real life? What makes a story universal, meaning able to resonate across different cultures, languages, and time periods?
