Is This a Thing?
A roundtable discussion about whether things in our world are actual things.
About the show
A weekly discussion on whether things people do, or things we experience, are actual things. Can you pick your nose? Do people really take super hot showers? Can you have soup for dinner? These episodes chronicle these questions, and try to reach some sort of judgements. Judgements are final, and also meaningless. If someone loses an argument, they have an opportunity to defend themselves on our website isthisathingpodcast.com. Hosted by Marc Bromaghim-Oropeza, Akshat Arneja, and Dan Jacobson
