Getting better; still has a way to go
After the first two or three episodes of this reboot, I was ready to unsubscribe (and to stop reading it in the Sunday magazine). But then two things happened: the hosts started actually addressing the ETHICAL implications of the topics under discussion instead of taking the “Here’s what I would do” approach (which is more about etiquette and advice than ethics) and Jack Shafer mysteriously—but thankfully—disappeared from the lineup and was replaced by a professor of philosophy. Shafer was terrible—no idea if he was playing the role of the curmudgeon or if he is genuinely that unpleasant and callous in real life, but either way, he was dead weight on the show and the most compelling reason to unsubscribe. With him gone, the mood is somehow both lighter and more serious, and I can say that I genuinely enjoy listening to this every week. I hope it continues to improve as time goes on and the panel really starts to click more and more in terms of genuine engagement instead of three mimi-lectures for each question.

More reviews of The Ethicists
Not sure why this podcast ended but I thought it was interesting. I liked comparing my thoughts on the topics to what the panelists might say. Perhaps the topics could have been more interesting but I still looked forward to each week.

Thought provoking and good answers to things that happen in every day life. An attorney on the panelf makes it even better \
