The Phileas Club 200 - Hey Phileas, We all have biases


Contributors:


Patrick does podcasts for a living and hails from France (and often Finland) with his wonderful wife and two kids.


Born in the 80s, Matthias is a millennial who grew up with the promise of a brave new world with jet packs and warp drive, only to end up in whatever this is right now. On his way he studied political science, which makes him despair every time he overhears people talk about politics on the train but also made him want to explain to people how political systems actually work. Which he also got to do for an international audience on the Phileas Club. He has lived in different parts of the country over the years but is now based in the southwest of Germany, near the French border, where he follows some of his nerdier passions and is working for a non-profit organization running a maker space and supporting repair initiatives.


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.


And finally Bruce "Amazing People" Woodward produces the show!

Every week, The Phileas Club gathers a panel of guests from different corners of the globe to tear apart the headlines. This isn't a dry recitation of events; it's a living room conversation that spans continents. You'll hear firsthand accounts of what's actually dominating the discourse in their home countries-from serious political shifts and cultural debates to the bizarre local story that's captured everyone's attention. Hosted by NotPatrick, the discussions are as unpredictable as the news itself, often weaving between insightful analysis and lighthearted, silly tangents. The result is a unique lens on current affairs, where international perspectives collide, sometimes with heat, always with a human touch. By focusing on the people behind the news, this podcast transforms global understanding from a concept into a series of compelling, relatable dialogues. It’s for anyone who finds traditional news coverage too distant and wants to feel the texture of what's happening elsewhere, served through genuine conversation and occasional friendly chaos. Tune in to hear the world argue, explain, and laugh its way through another week.
