- Exceptionally Engaging
An incredibly well-informed podcast that does a remarkable job at presenting complex and abstract ideas in an engaging way. This podcast is both entertaining and informative!

Australiaa year ago - Guess who’s the smartest person @ the dinner parties now, thanks this podcast.
This podcast is truly the sweetest thing to hit my ears. It’s great - with this, I get two birds with the one stone I.e I don’t have to have a background in philosophy to make sense of it, nor do I have to wade my way through huge amounts of literature to digest it. Doing a great service to the people, more of us should have a grasp on philosophy, and try to understand it as its the underpinning of most disciplines. The music and humour give it a nice touch. Bravo.
