“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, something slightly belied by the theme music, which sounds like something that 17th century goths would get together to droop their heads to. Seriously, that's the guitar sound John McGeogh would be after if he was hanging with Johannes Kapsberger. The studied seriousness of it always makes me laugh - it's so anti-Panoply (whose sonic worlds always seem to want to convince you you're at some quirky remembered beach when the announcer is discussing polluted bird habitats or deportation courts). I hope newcomers aren't put off by it, made to feel like they're being invited to a discourse on medieval scholastics, because that is absolutely not the case. I only mention it to encourage listeners to stick with it, not to criticise the show; the music really is effective at setting a tone that rejects noise, rush and fuss. In that, it's reminiscent of radiophonic-era BBC, although the sound here is more GarageBand preset than fat modular racks. Anyway, cheers!”Read full review »

I’ve listened to Partially Examined Life, New Books in Philosophy, Philosophy Bites, History of...”Read full review »
