Hello and welcome back to 2025! (Noting the irony that is is now April...) 

The Occupational Philosophers have returned from walking the Earth, exploring the heavens and astral travelling beyond the stratosphere - metaphorically and literally. Feeling refreshed, joyous and 1.27% more wise, they are excited for the new season of the show. 

This episode combines the loves of both John and Simon: Great questions and raucous dinner parties. 

As it's a new season, John and Simon explored a bunch of new dinner party questions that move beyond the usual, "What do you do?" (SNORE....) 

These include: 

  • Is there a habit or ritual in your day that feels somewhat sacred and you don’t like to miss?
  • You're putting together a diverse team you would love to work with. Who might they be and why?
  • What’s something you’ve recently started looking at differently?
  • What’s a question you wish people asked you more often?
  • When do you feel most intellectually alive?

It's a curious discussion to kick off a most curious new season for a show that's a lot about curiosity. 

Simon and John hope you enjoy the show.
