This week on Philosophy Playdate is a special for fans of space, astronomy, sci-fi and World War 2 history as we ask "Who looks after Outer Space?" (thanks Finley, age 7, for the question).
Along the way we have to decide whether to defend London from meteorites (yes!) even if it involves making them hit somewhere else (probably yes?) and what we can learn from WW2 spies about protecting the capital.
Also features Kessler Syndrome if you need something else to worry about at night!
Available wherever you get podcasts.

TOMORROW we're off into near-Earth orbit and wondering how ethical it is to bomb Sussex as we ask "Who Looks After Outer Space?". Thanks to Finley (Age 7) for the question!

New episode day! Today we ask children's author Iszi Lawrence how on Earth she writes about time travel for under 12s in this possible universe where thinking about it is so difficult.
And most importantly "Is Goodnight Sweetheart still acceptable in 2026?"

It's new episode day! Today we've been asked "Can we be in the same family again next time?" and to find out we've got to read Nietzsche. Hazmat suits on, we wade into infinite recursion, led by a sleep paralysis demon with an annoying revelation.
