Big Ideas in Bite Sizes

Welcome to Big Ideas in Bite Sizes, where we'll explore some of the greatest questions that have inspired thinkers for millennia — from the origins of the cosmos to the nature of consciousness, morality, human purpose and what the future might hold. Each short episode dives into one of these Big Questions, drawing on an interdisciplinary mix including philosophy, science, history to uncover how great thinkers — past and present — have wrestled with these mysteries. Designed for curious minds, Big Ideas in Bite Sizes offers thoughtful, intellectual exploration of big questions and big ideas in deep but digestible episodes. Whether you’re on your morning walk or your evening wind-down, Big Ideas in Bite Sizes is your invitation to think bigger, one bite size episode at a time.What is Big Philosophy?I’m Dr Morgan Saletta — an interdisciplinary scholar with a background in Philosophy, the History of Science and Technology and Anthropology. In this podcast, I’ll be sharing some of the ideas I’ve been thinking about for years — in places like San Francisco, Paris, and more recently here in Melbourne. They’re questions that don’t fit neatly into my regular academic 'day job' — but they’re too fascinating to ignore.This podcast — and eventually the book that will grow from it — are my way of exploring those ideas and inviting you to join me on the journey. So welcome — and let’s think Big, together.And one more thing- I'm relatively new to podcasting, and I'm a busy dad, so I'm recording in a variety of settings, and still working out which mic(s) and set-ups work best- so bear with me as I learn how to get the best sound possible! Tips from more experienced podcasters are always welcome!
