The Lord of the Rings has flabbergasted many generations.

Iskren and Maria met at Oxford and realized they were two kids which were overly excited about LOTR.

And they still are.

Iliya, on the other hand, is not convinced that LOTR is the best thing ever.

In this episode, Iskren and Maria will do everything to prove that LOTR is worth the hype.

Amazon Prime TV Series: 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' is coming up on Sep 2.

Make sure you (re)watch LOTR before that.

In this episode we discuss a number of interesting ideas around Flow, Process, Theory of Motivation and much more.

It is a great starting point for anyone who is remotely interested in Philosophy.

Here's a long awaited episode - a collection of bloopers.

To give more context, while recording our other episodes, we obviously really wanted to talk about Formula 1. We came back to it a couple of times and most of them turned out to be classic bloopers.

We are considering doing a full episode on F1 and this is a teaser for it, I guess.
