In this 75th episode of Philosophy Bakes Bread Eric Thomas Weber and Anthony Cashio interview Monica McCarthy, host of the Happier Hour podcast, on the theme “All Philosophy’s a Stage.”
Monica is a thespian, a playwright, the founder of Cheshire Parlour, and the creator and host of “The Happier Hour” podcast. Monica has acted on Broadway and in television programs, film, advertisements, including an appearance on the show Six Feet Under, for example, which was a great show. Very impressive. We connected with Monica especially in relation to her work on The Happier Hour podcast, which her Website describes as “equal parts philosophy and self-help (with a dash of humor thrown in for taste).”
