Baptiste is 26, he grew up in a small village in eastern France and moved to Switzerland at 18 to pursue his studies. He now works as an engineer in Zürich, where he also enjoys outdoor sports, podcasting, and cooking. Politically, he describes himself as a classical liberal, though he believes most people don't fit neatly into any one category.

Hey Phileas, today I have an issue with social media and how it is impacting our kids and wants to know what your "thing" is, and we hear from Bruce of The Brexit Saga and Parenthood Trials fame who has a little monologue about where we could possibly do better.

The Phileas Club 188 - Hey Phileas, Bruce gets preachy

Bruce does not do podcasts and has no wife but has two wonderful kids and is happily divorced! He lives in Scotland living the lower-middle class dream, originally from Zimbabwe but moved several times over the years. He works as a data monkey for a Health and Social Care Partnership and loves to play computer games even at 47... recently back into World of Warcraft and re-learning how to play bass guitar, which is apparently not like riding a bike.

Hey Phileas, today we hear from Gunnar from back in the day with a thoughtful letter, and I go on about a couple more things I noticed in France and how awesome our healthcare system is (even though most French people don't think so).
