“This is a great podcast that really lives up to it's name re. doing an excellent job at clarifying some knotty and complex philosophical ideas. Matt does a great job re. pitching it at a level that most people, with a moderate ability for sustained attention, can get a pretty good grasp of...”Read full review »

“Have listened to each and every episode at least twice, some several. My continued and growing appreciation of Elucidations has recently been enhanced by Nozick’s “Invariances.” Episode 109: Matt Teichman and Toby Buckle was thrilling.”

Episodes average 30 minutes to an hour. Suitable for...”Read full review »

“Ah, Elucidations! Every episode is a mini master class on how to perform a first-order unpacking of concept, and while it is typically twice as long as an episode of Philosophy Bites or Philosophy Zone, there's no waste, no waffle - all value. The focus is immediate and contemporary,...”Read full review »

“As a not classically trained philosopher I find these podcasts done on a level I can comprehend for the most part.
They are not hours long and do proceed at a reasonable pace.
I do consistently get inspired about what I hear and question at least something during each episode.
