“I listen to this, to learn how the progressives softly become indoctrinated into fascism, by philosophy. West is the best at this.”

“Stephen West puts the lol in philolsophy, but it’s subtle. I admire Stephen’s ability to keep episodes short yet detailed, and somehow still he can cater to both the non-philosophy initiated and the ponderers alike. I hope his show will successfully bring and introduce completely new people to...”Read full review »

“An excellent podcast - accessible and concise intro to key concepts and thinkers in the history of philosophy. I dived into this as a lawyer with no background in philosophy and found it super helpful and digestible. Thanks to the team who make this.”

“Too many ads in the middle of the episodes totally disrupt the flow. Unsubscribing. Lex Fridman is the only podcaster who understands this and does it right.”

“I’m new to this content. I’m up to ep. 16, but man do I gotta say, he misrepresents a lot of Christian doctrine whenever he speaks on it. And it’s almost always a negative caricature of Christianity or God. Other than that, I’m enjoying listening to him.”

“Recent episode: What an inaccurate and uneducated take on public libraries in the U.S. West should do some research before speaking with such confidence. Literally, do a quick google search or maybe visit one. Libraries do everything he pontificated about, and they are not empty.
