Sean Kelly

Great to have the Philes back!

Matt Rush

I feel weird calling myself a Theophile especially what with all the news lately

Jordan Minehan

Being phillic is kinda sussy tbh. Phobia, however are lit fam.

Dylan

Big Blindsight vibes

@theo have you visited the excellent Wikipedia page "recursive islands and lakes" it talks about islands on lakes on islands etc. Kind of nature's enclaves and exclaves

The brain talk in this one and recent Lucy’s Famous Computer Mom bit reminded me of RadioLab episode Brain Balls about cerebral organoids. Think you two would love/hate it/them. Great ep cheers guys

archipelago_go

“List of lists of lists” is also a banger

Shiloh Blue

New theo philes??? The sun shines ever so slightly brighter on my face today…..

I dearly love all of the Theo Philes and would pay an extra $5 a month to get one every month

Shiloh Blue

Ok this is the best episode ever

Radio Free Tote Bag

I'm reading a Scanner Darkly rn which references the split brain research, this is a real upsetting synchronicity!

David Doghugs

My life was bad but now there is a Theo Philes and my life is better

David Derbesy

HOT DAMN a little listener’s delight

Boonta Vista

oh I only just heard it a few weeks ago! absolutely bizarre

Bryan Zeck

philosophy of the mind was my absolute favorite undergraduate class

Ben you were thinking of Point Roberts in Washington, and yes its quite bizzare. Kids cross the border to bus to school, if I'm not mistaken.

Chaya

Are we also going to bring back God Fuckers? Please 🙏

Theo Pengelly

So many nice comments I smile thank you

Freya Coady

Woah as someone with multiple personalities this was like a crazy interesting episode

Reuben Sandwich

100% had the same reaction as Ben to Kaliningrad Oblast. Only I was in Poland at the time and was checking my Google Maps. I was like wtf, why am I so close to the border with Russia??

Mollygdala

I've been an athiest for years but a small part of me deep down has always held onto a pet belief in the soul. Thanks for taking a chunk out of that hope! Now I have some existential ennui to deal with. Loved the episide!

Jay Eliot Mee

this was a really excellent episode. had me exclaiming out loud in disbelief

Dean Winter

Well this was upsetting. No episode has haunted me like this since the train intro.

So there really are two wolves inside me, bound by a high-bandwidth "Soul Unifier" backplane interlink forged from placenta juice .. and that explains why I asked the barber for a Wolf Cut? I might need to listen again

atomicthumbs

not sure i should have listened to this episode while hiking and waiting for acid to kick in but thanks either way, this was interesting and not terrifying

Asa Wagner

For the record I get very excited whenever I see a Theophiles episode pop up, please keep doing these. She on my severing my corpus collosum until I bargin with my left hand 😩

Charles

I can't stop thinking about this episode. Absolute banger but really messing with my mental state. Theo with the cute little facts and Ben with the dissolving of my reality. Prefer not to think about it cheers

Horse Badorties

My fave point roberts fact is that the FBI likes to park Witness Protection folks there. Like what if Mafia guys recognize each other during Mass?

Michael Una

Another absolute banger once again. Thank you gentlemen!
