“I can’t understand how I missed the fact that one of my all time favorite philosophy communicators had a podcast. YouTube has really been messing up the algorithm because I just recently was recommended a clip of his that made me aware of this. So excited to get started.”

“I have been an Alex O’Connor fan ever since my deconversion. The manner that he conducts himself comes through his content. It’s not a hairbrained free form podcast. He treats guests of every faith background with incredible respect.
I love the way everything is structured and held together.”

But I love how Alex navigates conversations of consequential importance in a caring, non-divisive manner. He is respectful to all of his guests, and asks thought provoking...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a huge fan of Alex’s going on 5 years now. His ability to brilliantly examine philosophical, ethical, and theological topics and convey his thoughts with clarity is unmatched. My only complaint over the past few years has been not enough context! Of course I know he’s been busy, but...”Read full review »

“Fantastic podcast that never fails to engage me. I often sit with pen and paper to note concepts or ideas for later follow up. But that’s not to say the talks are dense or require a philosophy degree. Nothing of the sort. It’s just a very engaging, stimulating and thought provoking hour of...”Read full review »
