    In this special episode, we join Lecturer in Philosophy, Dr Noel Kavanagh at a recent spoken word event called Instructions on Not Giving Up curated by broadcaster Ann Marie Kelly and hosted in The Pantry Cafe in Portlaoise.


    At the event, Noel's task was to use Philosophy to connect the stories of grief and anguish at the event to give hope and guidance through the dark times. So what Philosophy have to offer humanity?
