Too often evidence free, dogmatic opinions

“At times this podcast provides evidence free, dogmatic opinions on social issues by politicians, various academics, authors and assorted self-publicists. Occassionally there is a reasoned, thoughtful discussion.
It contrasts poorly with other Philosophy podcasts such as In Our Times ( BBC), Elucidations and Philosophy Bites which explore philosophical topics more calmly and reasonably.
The tenor of the speeches in Philosophy in our Times is often passionate defences of a sincere opinion, rather than courteous, reasoned, balanced discussion. The debates often seem political rather than philosophical, with perjorative terms, and cavalier dismissal of a contrary opinion.
If you prefer a program that adds heat rather than light to social issues, then this is the podcast for you. It certainly can pique your interest in social issues, and motivate you to find out more.”
