  • Excellent content,

    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
