This week we put on our philosopher hats and talk about aesthetics, or the study of beauty. We tackle baffling questions such as, "Why do art and beauty matter?" "When we ascribe value to a things, do we in fact cheapen it?" and "Will Hannah be able to decipher the chicken scratch in the margins of her notes?" We also talk about zombies, but it makes sense for some reason.

Theme music: “Splanchnics Riff” composed and performed by Clare T. Walker
Clare is an independent author who would love it if you checked out her books! If you like exciting thrillers featuring an “everyman” hero who rises to his or her full potential in the face of peril—-you might enjoy The Keys of Death. It’s a veterinary medical thriller about a small-town animal doctor who gets tangled up in a whistle-blowing scheme against a big biotech company. Or, if you prefer shorter fiction, try Startling Figures, a collection of three paranormal urban fantasy stories.
