Mark Linsenmayer (host of The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast) and Bill Arnett (head of the Chicago Improv Studio) each try to teach each other their crafts via conversation, scenes, and what can only be called performance art. No taking turns!

Khafiz Kerimov (philosophy guy) and Nicholas Bellinson (literature guy) both teach at (and co-commute to) St. John’s College in Annapolis, and they channeled the educational style of that school into a new podcast called Invasive Thoughts.
They join Mark and Bill to talk about various educational technologies, teacher-student relations, circle-drawing competitions, the passivity of thinking, and using quotations to say what you just want to say to people directly.
As Nietzsche often said, “Thanks for listening to Philosophy vs. Improv!”
The image here of a child the apparently COULD do the chalk-skipping-line trick is from a sales site, and though it sure looks like a blackboard, it is not.
