Philosophy Now

I listened to the existential psychotherapy episode. Was extremely frustrating to hear the guests being interrupted and talked over. Also the presenter appeared to have preexisting ideas and misinformed ideas of the subject, hence precluding meaningful discussion and thinking.

Not a perfect podcast but an informative one. Philosophy for the rest of us.

What a shame they are not publishing anymore podcasts, very intellectually stimulating topics and discussions

This is an incredible program. There are many episodes that I keep on repeating as every time I listen to them I learn something else. I wish they would continue producing it but it seems to have stopped a few years ago. If there’s a way to access new episodes please let me know!

Why does the host interrupt the speakers so much it is rude ,we want to hear them talk without being rushed or cut off.Its unnerving I actually stopped the podcast because of this .

Sorry dude, the stuttering and ‘Umming’ and ‘Errring’ and hesitations disrupt the flow. Good luck

The self righteousness is disgusting. In all sincerity, Bring this podcast back.

Basically it is a good podcast covering a wide array of philosophical themes.

However the quality of the episodes depends a lot on the guests since they are the one talking about the topic. So I regret a lack of consistency from episodes to episodes.

The one about quantum physics is excellent.

It’s impossible to fathom how Philosophy Now allowed this presenter to lead these podcasts.

The blokey-laddish faux-thick disorganised style/tone of explaining the issues and questioning the guests are more than annoying and banal, and often spiral off into almost complete incoherence. And we also have to suffer his dire tastes in music, in disruptive breaks that happen for no obvious reason.

Nonetheless, when he’s not burbling on the guests and their insights are typically good and thoughtfu... more

Great content but a little irritating when the narrator is obviously reading straight from prepared text - may need a little training in presentation

A brilliant way to get your mental cogs turning at the beginning of the day. The debates stimulate introspection and help you build your perspectives about life. It's a must listen.

It's a great podcast, but for someone that lacks extreme love for philosophy, it's hard to listen to without losing interest. It's rich with info but it's so monotone I can't listen all the way through without breaks.

I listened to the episode on quantum mechanics. The guest was BRILLIANT. The host rudely interrupted the guest every 30 seconds with senseless comments.

I listened for one minute and had to stop because the narrator uses an excessive amount of filler words such as 'um' and 'uh'

I really enjoy philosophy but can't listen when someone still has a nagging fear of public speaking.

Go to Toastmasters. They show you how it's done.

Arrogant, doesn't understand, doesn't listen, puts forward own views instead of passive- biased
