- Excited this podcast is back!
I have been following Alexis’ conversations via the live online events, but it is great that he has relaunched the podcast as it is easier for me to catch up/re-listen to episodes here rather than YouTube. Long may these excellent conversations at the intersection of philosophy and current affairs last!

The interview with Dr. Tommy J Curry on Critical Race Theory was riveting! Curry's historically substantiated truthfulness and refreshing frankness left me wanting even more after an hour of discussion. Please have him back on your show.
