So who exactly are these Bad Philosophers anyway?
Stephen Torrence
Philosophy major (minoring in physics and mathematics), currently headed for a 2010 graduation if all goes right. He’s an Honors College student, SPS President, founder/editor/host of our little show. In all honestly, Stephen is pretty much the definition of a jack-of-all-trades, having dabbled in theater, music, photography, dance, science, mountain climbing, and everything in between at various points in his 20-year life. Bad Philosophy is his latest project, and it’s looking like one of the most exciting ever. Don’t count on any miracles from this gent. His voice sounds borderline feminine and his sense of humor is erratic. But when it comes to wacky philosophical tangents and tireless dedication to perfection, there can be no replacement.
Kevin Saunders
Kevin Saunders may or may not be Jeff McKinzie. He is a playwright, a performance artist and all around cynic. He is a resident expert on absolutely nothing but has a useless opinion on nearly everything. He has been called many things in his time, the least confusing of which is “That Guy in the Hat.” He spends far too much time thinking and very little time doing, which makes him perfect for Bad Philosophy.
Jediah Cummins
A graduate student and GA with University Student Housing at Texas Tech University. He is known as the “Number One Fan of the show.” Or, en español, “Numero Uno Fanboy Jed Cummins.” He is an alum of the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in Physics and Computer Science, a member of the Higher Education Student Association at Tech, and co-founder of the Lubbock Tweetup. His knowledge of philosophy comes from a cursory reading of Jostein Gaarder’s “Sophie’s World” a few years back and any tidbits he can get from the real philosophy experts on the show. He does provide some level of technical expertise for episodes such as Episode 037: Back Seat Philosophy. He is also the author of the now defunct Wikipedia article for the show. He hopes to learn more about philosophy and spout off more of his nerdy computer science/physics knowledge and maybe, every once in awhile say something worthwhile.
