  • Dewey episode

    Unfortunately, this episode on Dewey is inaccurate and incomplete in many of its details. If you want to learn more about Dewey and his writings on education, for starters, consider reading great biographies by Alan Ryan and Robert Westbrook.

  • Tried listening to the episode on John Dewey

    As the title states, I tried listening to the episode on John Dewey and not only is the host bland, but she’s also awful in her research and presentation. Sister, John Dewey did not cause a Communist China. I hardly ever review anything, but just beware that this podcast is unprofessional and I would recommend another source when it comes to narratives on philosophy and philosophers.
