Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 30 ratings
  • Not great.

    Tried this as it seemed like an interesting approach to the topic. I found the main presenter’s political biases frequently got in the way of any useful information. He and several of the guests seem to be out of touch with reality, as philosophers frequently are, and misrepresented entire genres of people and facts. I was also frustrated by the poor audio quality.
