Escapist Delights in a Crumbling Democracy w: Philip Ogley

Hey Everyone!Today we had the pleasure of chatting with Philip Ogley. I know Philip from his work on Medium and his regular show with Peter William Murphy. Philip was born in the UK but is currently living in France. I always appreciate getting an international experience.Over the years, I’ve found that much of how we interpret literature comes from our cultural assumptions. So, I always find it really interesting to ask people how certain stories land. Philip provided some excellent insights.I hope you enjoy this conversation, you can follow Philip here:Thank you The Bathrobe Guy 👘, Cat, Rachel Hendricks, Brandon Ellrich, Henna Sanneh, and many others for tuning into my live video with Philip Ogley and Ben Ulansey!
