“I listen to a lot of Podcasts, but rarely have enjoyed Podcasts about poltical theory / philosophy… Until now! I don’t have any bsckground in polticial theory or philosophy, and I’ve learned a lot from Clif whilst also regularly laughing out loud. This podcast is a great combination of smart and...”Read full review »

“A great podcast by a fellow Canuck. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about what Socrates, Plato and other philosophers have to tell us but were afraid to start, this is the podcast for you. Frankly if you’re a seasoned hand at philosophy and have read the Apology or the Republic but wanted a...”Read full review »

“As a professional philosopher, I’m equipped to appreciate the quality of Cliff’s work: intelligent and lovingly prepared. I’m especially impressed by the overview of Plato’s Republic, which does justice without getting (too) lost in the weeds.
Thank you!”

“I switched from Apple Music to Spotify recently and started listening to podcasts there as well. During the episode “Plato’s Republic 6” and the part with the discussion of the soul, I was absolutely tickled by what I believe must have been a reference to Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I can’t...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. It’s entertaining and accessible but not the least bit dumbed-down. If the ideas are new to you, this is an excellent way to get acquainted. If you’ve already read a bunch of Plato, you’re still going to find insights that are fresh and stimulating. It’s smart, it’s funny,...”Read full review »

“I'm only one episode in but starting the next right away.
Sure, Clif Mark may seem like a made-up name, but his insights are genuine and his storytelling is top notch.
Even for an unschooled ancient Athenian such as myself, this is a real treat and smacks of self-improvement. Highly...”Read full review »

“Stumbled upon this pod in a search for “Plato’s Apology.” Had just read it and wanted some analysis. Found a few pods where host was essentially just reading a summary of the Apology through a tinny microphone before finding Good in Theory. I’ve learned more about what was happening in Athens at...”Read full review »

Clif does an excellent job of examining the ideas surrounding Socrates’ trial and how they are still relevant today. At a time when we are questioning the very basis of our...”Read full review »

“This is quite simply as good as it gets when it comes to philosophy podcasts. Clif Mark does for Plato what Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History did for the mongols - only better.

“Fantastic podcast that contextualizes political theory in the historical world in which it lived. Good In Theory pod takes you on a journey through history, politics and the philosophy that shapes our world today. It’s a great escape you won’t feel guilty about listening to.”

“Clif was my political theory professor at the University of Saskatchewan. He is funny, thoughtful, and engaging and I’m thrilled to see this podcast launch so you can learn as much from him as I did. (The Bill and Ted reference in episode one is worth a sixth star.)”

“Harhar... but with a sense of humor and contextualized beautifully—and in a most entertaining manner—for the 21st century.
If like me you were fascinated by philosophy in high school and college but were put off by the often dry and voluminous nature of the actual books — this pod is for you!”

“I majored in politics and philosophy at university but feel a little rusty after all these years. I’d like to brush up during these politically and ideologically charged times, but — not gonna lie — I don’t have the time or attention span to reread all my old books. That’s where Clif comes in:...”Read full review »
