This week we talk about the speculative fiction The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula Le Guinn, the concept of using a scapegoat and living on the backs of the poor. We also discuss how the story relates to the philosophy of Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, Rene Girard and Albert Camus. Meanwhile, Tara discusses the Science Fiction Film Festival and cat trapping while Benn talks about cooking Vasilopita in September!

Warped Zone is a podcast on scifi, philosophy, religion, politics, gaming and anything else taboo. Run by Benn Banasik and Tara BM Smith, two PhD studies of religion candidates with a shared love of good coffee and cats.
