Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch ...

We are so grateful, excited, and pleased to bring to you our very first collaboration !!

In this special episode celebrating World Philosophy Day, The Things You Can't Touch collaborates with The Black Curriculum to unpack how education shapes our understanding of knowledge, identity, and justice. We challenge traditional ideas of philosophy, explore the transformative power of a Black-centered curriculum, and reimagine who gets to define wisdom.

Join us for an eye-opening discussion that celebrates diverse perspectives and calls for a more inclusive future for education and philosophy. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to keep the conversation going !

Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch.

November is Men's Mental Health Month, a time to shed light on the often-silent struggles men face. As a podcast dedicated to diversifying the world of philosophy, we believe that exploring mental health is crucial - not just through the clinical lens, but as part of broader philosophical dialogues about identity, resilience, and vulnerability.

This month, we dive into topics that challenge stereotypes, reflect on how cultural expectations impact men’s mental well-being, and encourage open conversations.
