The Reconnecting Podcast

When is a Podcast not a Podcast? When it's a breakdown....Join me to learn about how debilitating mental illness really is and what it's like to live with anxiety and sometimes depression I guess, when it wants to show up from time to time. Rambling or a philosophical masterpiece, you decide.

Much love - Archie

Dr Crips work centres on moral philosophy with a specific focus on ethics, metaethics, normative ethics and applied ethics.
