A brief look at The Happier Hour live show and podcast taping in NYC on HUMILITY.

The Happier Hour is a monthly(ish) event series and podcast taping bringing philosophy out of the ivory tower of academia and into our modern day agora: the bar. Each show features a philosophy professor and a philosophic-ish expert. It’s like the self-help section– only way funnier, smarter, and with booze.
