“As someone who’s studied the classical texts somewhat, I was delighted to discover this podcast. And they cover such a diversity of topics that I’d recommend it to most anyone, even with their religious orientation (I’m personally agnostic). That being said, Graeme is probably one of the most frustrating people to listen to. He literally scoffs at ideas that do not necessarily fall in line with his own. Thomas and especially A.J. seem to be open to considering other perspectives, but their episodes sometimes devolve into catering to Graeme’s dogmatic obstinance.
Edit: decreasing my review to two stars after listening to the human rights episode. I agree that we have to ground our human rights in some sort of metaphysical justification, narrative, or what have you, but it was nauseating listening to them proclaim that the Christian god is the only real justification. Humanism itself is a narrative that espouses certain human rights without recourse to a deity. Moreover, some modern traditions justify human (and animal) rights through the minimization of suffering. I’d encourage listeners to at least get a few different perspectives on these subjects, because these guys are blinded by their religion.
Also, Graeme clearly doesn’t have a good grasp of history if he thinks that colonization was ever primarily motivated by a desire to spread ethical values. BFFR”

“Just happened upon this podcast on Philosophy & I am delighted with their choices of examining this subject; using literature such as “Crime & Punishment”, & “Atlas Shrugged”.”

“I wish I'd had teachers like these guys in school. Funny, engaging, and the opposite of didactic. And I love the rapport between them. Such a great show.”Read full review »
