This week we return to Greece to say lots and lots about someone we know very little about. Enjoy, once more, Dr Mike and Danny mispronouncing the name of a revered philosophical figure for comedy effect and through a mouthful of mince pie. Consider, for a moment, why is Socrates considered so significant? Why is he such an attractive philosophical figure? Were the robes a contributing factor? Did he really know nothing? Why did he ask so many questions? What were the 30 Tyrants to him? Why was he locked up? Why did he not simply say “sorry, I didn’t mean it” and get out of jail free? Why did he accept that last drink? Is the Socrates that we know simply Plato in a Socrates mask? If you miss this weeks cast you may never even ask these questions
