“If you're a fan of the more formal, technical, interview-centred philosophy podcasts like Philosophy Bites or Elucidations, then you may find this slicker and way more sonically varied offering a little lacking in meat, but hang in there. The project here seems to be to uncover the serious...”Read full review »
