Podcast Addict22 months agokuangmk11- For the intelligent fan
This podcast is like listening to a friend’s deep thoughts about science fiction. I love how Mr. Walter gets into the ideas and philosophies of authors such as Philip K. Dick and Ursula Le Guin. The recent episode analyzing Starfleet Academy in the context of corporate wokeness was a breath of fresh air compared to online hot takes. It’s a fun listen! He also has a YT show.
Apple Podcasts5ChristineNYCUnited States8 months ago - Brain treats for the smart and snarky
Mind-blowingly smart social commentary, filtered through the lens of pop culture and sci-fi. Damien Walter is a philosophy professor and it really shows. What is also evident is his biting, dissociated genX sarcasm, sure to engage your laugh muscles as your brain cells mull over his greater point. I’ve watched him for years on YouTube, and am glad to follow along in audio form with his fantastic podcast.
Apple Podcasts5MarcoLandinUnited States9 months ago - One of my favorites
The context of fictional works is the in-depth subject of this podcast, and it’s completely enthralling. His podcasts in Andor, for example, are some of the best content around.
