Each episode we pick a text and chat about it with insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy or even have read the text we're talking about to follow and enjoy the discussion.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T04:19:21.522787+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957"},"episode":{"title":"PEL Presents PMP#220: Peaky Blinders: Gangs of Birmingham","slug":"pel-presents-pmp-220-peaky-blinders-gangs-of-birmingham","published_at":"2026-04-26T14:58:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957/pel-presents-pmp-220-peaky-blinders-gangs-of-birmingham","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8897536","audio_url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8897536.mp3?modified=1777563347&sid=1416170&source=rss","summary":"We discuss Steven Knight's six-seasons-and-a-movie historical crime show Peaky Blinders , featuring Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al. Does the show live up to its initial excellence? It's got a great emotional premise (post-WWI PTSD), and there's a ridiculous amount of gravitas among the cast, but do the heists undermine this heft? It's OK if you haven't seen the show; we hold off on spoilers for quite a while and warn you when we reach that point. Get more at prettymuchpop.com .
