Melvyn is an interesting choice…

“Overall a very interesting series of discussions. What’s strange is that Melvyn Bragg knows nothing about philosophy. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It lets the guests speak in much longer, more insightful discourses. With hosts who know the topic they tend to burst in a lot to show their bona fides. Melvyn does the opposite, which makes for a better conversation. The one big drawback is that the guests are often lost as to how to answer his leads. He’ll say something like “tell me about Plato”, which is ridiculously broad in what is meant to be a much narrower topic. Once they regain their composure they do a good job of turning the conversation back to the topic.”

“This is the most fantastic show. Melvin Bragg and his guest make complex philosophical concepts understandable to all and provide insight into the biographies of the great thinkers if history. My hours in traffic jams no longer seem like a waste of time.”
