“This podcast can teach anyone more than they usually learn in the average school day; I love it. Although, the host always seems to say “she or he “ instead of “they “, which is the one aspect of the podcast that I don’t like.”

“Interesting topic areas and I’m sure the lecturer has amazing knows to impart but a lecture relying on slides and hard to hear audience participation is not an ideal format for podcasts - especially of this length - reminding me why I no longer want to go to uni to learn things - there are more...”Read full review »

“The professor is great. The information is well set out. Might be paced a little fast. Not as much unpacking for some things.
The problem is the sound. The background buzz, audience members coughing close to the microphone, the difficulty in hearing the audience, and the occasional feedback....”Read full review »

“Great lecturer but this appears to be an outreach programme rather than an undergraduate course. Too many questions from boomers (you can just tell) who seem to have been dropped on their head at birth and don’t know when to shut up and let the lecturer carry on.”

“The format of the first ‘romp through’ episode is really off putting. The lecturer interacts with her live audience but we can’t hear their responses and her ability to smoothly integrate their points into a coherent presentation of the material is limited and so the overall effect is fragmented,...”Read full review »

But most of us probably think we believe that the quality of the content is far more important than the quality of...”Read full review »

“Great intro into some basic philosophic theories. Sound isn’t too bad but given at times there are interactions with the audience which are not picked up well by the microphone. For a university, professional sound recordings should be a given but the lecture is still well worth listening to.”

“Appreciate an accessible intro to philosophy. But the recording quality is awful; distorted and tinny. It’s very difficult to listen to a poor quality recording for so long.”

“Lacking any reference to abductive forms or any comparative look at its inherent conflict with induction is one thing. Groveling to logically incoherent Dawkins, is quite another.”

“I really don't know why some people didn’t seem to enjoy this. The idea is to introduce the audience to multiple philosophical topics, not to indulge the audiences own ideas. I don’t really care what the 'audiences opinions’ are, I want to hear beginners explanations of the major schools...”Read full review »

“A very easy-listening audio. I played it on a long car journey (by my self) and found it pretty easy going. Its major flaw, however, is that a great deal of its content involves two-way dialogue and questions from the audience. As Marianne is the only person you can hear, you are often left...”Read full review »
