  • Fear

    A robber walks out of the shadows, soon after your body tenses, your mind is thinking fight or flight, your adrenaline increases and in that moment Fear creeps into you. Fear, but what exactly is fear? Why is it ? And how exactly does this emotion come about? On this episode of F for philo our philosophers take you into the emotion that is fear, trying to understand it. The philosophers explore fear through a hypothetical child who they are grooming. The child starts off in their early ages of life all the way through to high school. In the child's journey we explore all the possible fears they may be susceptible to and how they might combat them. Knowing fear to be an emotion and existing in everyone you might find that the child faces fears that may still be relevant to the average adult, or growing adult. Hosted by iampm, together with Mr TT and Mr Tebza, this show is sure to leave you curious and in wonder of human beings' very emotions.

  • Self-development

    Change is but a whisper of time. Gracefully we know time through her changes. Years, seasons, months, days, growth, death, love, & decay are but her many faces. If change is inevitable, why choose to stay the same? Hmm! The words of expression that you just read are what inspired The Trio to put Self-development into perspective.
