The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast
Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan CaseyThe Partially Examined Life is a podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a short text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy.

Reviews
- Spinal Tap
The Irony of Spinal Tap was that they wrote and performed their own music. I even saw them on tour as a real band years after the original movie and soundtrack.

Christopher Heath is by far my favorite guest! I find myself the most engaged when he is on the show.
Apple Podcasts5DC/HGUnited States8 months ago - A great introduction to big ideas!
This podcast has been a fun introduction to philosophers and ideas that I wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to. Along the way I have found works and voices that have become important parts of my life. I particularly appreciate the humor and candor that these guys bring to the party. When something is nonsense, they call it out and enjoy some laughs along the way. This is definitely worth adding to your roster of podcasts!
Apple Podcasts5jto44United States8 months ago - Examine this entirely
This podcast restarted my engagement with philosophy, and has had a significant impact in my professional and personal life. The dialogue between the hosts has been a model for how I engage with others and discuss complex matters. I always find their discussion insightful and enlightening, including episodes that cover topics I’m not that interested in.
