    I only found the show this summer and I’m working my way through the back catalogue, but I find it very well done. If you’re the type of person who has several philosophy podcast in your regular feed, this should be one of them.

  • Really great philosophy podcast

    Love this podcast - the episodes on Wittgenstein are especially fascinating. Highly recommended. It’s pretty accessible but still challenging - a hard balance to strike when it comes to philosophy. But they really manage that here x

  • Layman’s education

    As an engineering and design major in college, I did not recieve a comprehensive humanities education. This podcast goes beyond philosophy writings and connects the old and new, the existential with the real.

Episode 149, 'The Philosophy of Jainism' with Marie-Hélène Gorisse (Part I - Liberation)
Q: Why is Mahavira often misunderstood as the founder of Jainism?
Mahavira is often presented as the key figure, but he is one of many eternal teachers, and Jainism does not have a single founder.
Episode 149, 'The Philosophy of Jainism' with Marie-Hélène Gorisse (Part I - Liberation)
Q: Do you see it as both a philosophy and a religion, Jainism?

Episode 149, 'The Philosophy of Jainism' with Marie-Hélène Gorisse (Part I - Liberation)

Philosophy is the answer to the urge to know the big picture and to align our claims and worldviews with that picture.
Episode 147, 'Creator or Cosmos' with Tim Mawson and Asha Lancaster-Thomas (Part I - The Debate)
Q: Asha, do you want to lay out your case for why we should take pantheism more seriously than maybe why it's less problematic than Tim's inferring?
Pantheism offers compelling reasons due to historical prominence, philosophical implications like unity in the cosmos, and different interpretations that avoid traditional issues.

Q: Who is in the wrong there if anybody?
Lucy seeks clarity on whether she should feel offended, questioning the moral responsibility of the comedian and the audience.
