- Thoughtful and interesting
Excellent guests and thoughtful questions. Thorough and probing, but done with respect for guests who are given time to explain their work and ideas. Good complement to 80000 Hours and podcasts like Tyler, Econtalk, Ezra Klein, Future of Life, Big Brains, Mindscape.

Canada4 years ago - Excellent philosophy (etc) podcasts
I’ve listened to the philosophy episodes (plus the episode with Diane Coyle) and would recommend these extremely highly. (I’m confident that the podcasts in other areas are also similarly excellent.)
The guests are extremely good at explaining their work in a way that’s accessible without dumbing-down and the hosts ask really helpful questions. The length of the episodes is about right. They would be of interest to everyone from enthusiastic amateur philosophers, undergrads, or faculty.
