“Why does Peters voice sound like it is put on high speed? I’ve listened to Peter for 10 years and now it sounds robotic. No need to speed everything up. Thanks. Love the content.”

“Really enjoy and have learned so much from this podcast. I’ve laughed out loud, I’ve reexamined my beliefs. Hooked ever since lockdown. Thank you, Peter and associated giraffes.”

“Another reviewer wrote here that Peter’s delivery can sometimes feel a little too quick. Perhaps so, but my advice is to plan to listen to each episode at least twice, or maybe even more than that. I am up-to-date with the latest episode, but am also going through the whole series thoroughly a...”Read full review »

“The ability of an educational podcaster, or any writer, is to be concise is very under appreciated. I think a good indicator of the quality of the podcast is that the episodes are not so long that you get lost in the intricacies, while still coming away with a solid, basic understanding of the...”Read full review »

“Wonderful podcast, only one tiny criticism - it would be nice if it was delivered a little more slowly? Sometimes Peter speaks a little too quickly. Only my opinion. I really enjoy the the podcast.”

“It seems almost impossible to do such a big and great work. Very deep and qualitative show. You can get solid knowledge about history of philosophy just from this podcast and getting it will be very fun.”

“As a podcast junky and an early adopter of the medium, and a complete geek when it comes to history, this is one of the most towering pieces of work I’ve encountered in this medium. Peter puts in what must be an unfathomable amount of work to present his topic - as the title says - without any...”Read full review »

“Despite having a philosophy degree already, I never knew how critical giraffes were to philosophical inquiry. Nor did I realize how many philosophical problems could be illustrated with silent film criticism. Thank you for all that you do!”

“I discovered this podcast only last year, but have now binge-caught-up. My own studies of philosophy inside a history degree were fascinating but random and gappy. I have loved following this series. My 10-year old daughter says you should “use ostriches and not just giraffes”, but apart from...”Read full review »

“No wokism or right-wing digs, just plain history and philosophy. His tone is a little didactic, but he does an excellent job of explaining philosophy and digging in to the details.”

“I have restarted this series several times and like someone else said. It is hard to find the beginning! This must also discourage new listeners picking up a new podcast through their iPhone who want something easy to grab. Otherwise, I love it. Bought the book on Amazon <3”

“Absolutely fantastic! I love that there are “no gaps.” If you want to find podcasts prior to episode 73 try searching “HoP 001” or 002, all the way to 073. It’s annoying but I really wanted to start from the beginning.”

“I can only see the episodes from 73. I’d really like to start from 1 But can’t find it. I’m on mobile so i am not sure if that’s the issue, but, yeah, I can’t see any episodes before episode 73. If you can, please fix this but if its a misunderstanding by me, my apologies.”

“Fantastic. So well organized—the text and topic choices are yes chronological, but could nevertheless still be more confusing than they are here. And so *clear* — in thinking and speaking. A voice one can listen to, for those who care about such things.”
