Introduction — Why Park Bench Philosophy Exists

Welcome to Park Bench Philosophy, a podcast about thinking through the systems that structure everyday life. This opening episode sets the stage for what’s ahead: no self-help, no quick answers, no punditry—just patient, philosophical inquiry into the arrangements we live within every day.

We explore how the ordinary—timetables, zoning lines, public lighting—can open into questions about power, governance, and the values embedded in design. You’ll hear from thinkers past and present, not as distant authorities but as active companions in the investigation.

If you’re ready to slow down, look closely, and think with the world as it is, take a seat. The conversation begins here.
