Good evening and welcome to the Sleep... with Josh podcast. It's the podcast where you sleep.... with... Josh. I am comedian Josh Yang, and every episode I read various pieces of literature in my trademark monotone voice to help you drift off to sleep. Literature like the dictionary, laws, various manuals, the different terms of services that everyone agrees to but never really reads, and other random, boring ideas. Tonight, we revisit Plato's Socratic dialogue, "The Republic". Written around 375 BC, in the cradle of western democracy, Athens, Greece, it focused on justice, the order and character of a just city-state, and the "just man". Democracy is a big focus this year around the world and especially in the United States with the upcoming election. Let's see if we can get inspired... and sleepy, listening to Plato. If you find yourself enjoying this experience please follow this podcast on Spotify, or your podcast platform of choice and tell everyone you know... that you Sleep... with Josh, because at the end of the day... the more people that Sleep... with Josh... the better.
