This is a fairly good philosophy podcast but the incessant, barely relevant, droning on about the Dune series by Coop has made this otherwise fine podcast nearly intolerable! Please find other references more topical, more diverse, or more worldly. You are dragging your cohost down with your fan boy obsession! I am begging you to stop.
This is probably the worst podcast on philosophy out there. The hosts never shut up and never allow any interviewee to finish a thought. The whole thing quickly becomes unbearably chaotic and self-serving. The hosts endlessly talk about themselves too, their ideas, their works, their readings, their posts, which is quite frankly unbearable. Don’t waste your time on this.
Please edit the pauses in dialogue down. You both spend way too long waiting to respond to one another. And my god, Taylor, you sound stoned, man. Get to your point quicker.
I love critical theory and continental philosophy, and this is THE theory podcast - not only because they regularly have academic rockstars as guests, but because of the depth & breadth of knowledge of the hosts. It’s a high level of discourse rarely found outside graduate seminars and scholarly conferences, and yet they also make it a lot of fun. If you’re not a theory-head you might not appreciate the brilliance here, but you might also find a new passion. There’s a whole lot to be learned fro... more
I have secondhand embarrassment for these guys’ pronunciation of the French names/terminology they insist on bandying about. Gives the impression they’ve never discussed this stuff with anyone who actually knows what they’re talking about.

A deep, long-form philosophy show that routinely unpackages continental thinkers (Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, Freud, Spinoza, Kant) through thoughtful dialogues between two often-cited hosts and expert guests. Episodes blend rigorous theory with accessible discussion, drawing connections across literature, politics, and culture, while highlighting the practical relevance of complex ideas to current debates about mind, society, and technology. Notable traits include a penchant for pairing dense theory with engaging interviews, a distinctive humor, and a clear emphasis on broader implications of philosophical texts for modern life.
Listeners are likely drawn to high-level discourse, with recurring praise for guest quality and the hosts' abi... more
