“Unlike other podcasts, this one FULLY examines life, not partially. I can’t wait to be like Greg when I grow up!”

“My favorite podcast, and by far the best political philosophy commentary available on the internet today. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“What a great podcast - such insightful observations into both philosophy and the issues of our time. I enjoy the lively banter of the hosts and the added insights of the show’s occasional guests.”

“…only to tears.
5/5 stars.
Best enjoyed alongside an alcoholic drink or, better yet, some of Willie Nelson’s finest weed. Or cheese from Grampa’s Cheese Barn. Or all of the above.
Is Pious pious ‘cause God loves pious?
Socrates asks whose bias y’all seek.
All for Plato, screech!
I’m out here...”Read full review »

“Awesome show! Very knowledgable about political philosophy, entertaining, too. They keep asking their listeners to send pics, but I don’t have a girlfriend, let alone a wife. But if I did, I’d send many pics ASAP. You should, too!”

“This is not a lecture podcast or a gnostic Straussian conference in the middle of night. Rather, it is a cordial conversation between friends about some worthwhile readings.
If you need to feed the springs of your own reading, then give it a listen.”

“Really good, in-depth discussions of great books. The way you know these guys are real nerds is that every time one of them makes a very mildly funny joke the whole conversation is derailed for a minute by gales of laughter and botched comebacks. 5/5”

“Great episodes. Covers strictly philosophical texts and ideas as well as (my wheelhouse) literary texts. And the hosts balance well between rigor and (also my wheelhouse!) accessibility to the novice.”

“These fellas know what they're doing! The interviews are engaging, informative, and important. They help preserve the biographies and knowledge of some of the greatest teachers in political philosophy. For my part? I actually prefer when there’s no guest. The shows are funnier, and usually...”Read full review »

“The New Thinkery is the latest addition to America’s alt right syndicate. Ostensibly, this group of arm chair philosophers attempt to lead listeners down a path of self-reflection and free-thought. However, there is something much more nefarious going on here. Listeners beware.”

“This is my favourite podcast. Philosophy plus great banter, very listenable – you feel like you get to know the hosts very quickly.
I can’t support but I have subscribed, do rate, and can kiss (end of Love and Death episode). X

“A great pickmeup of philosophical conversation to make the workweek less of a grind. more than that, discussions of political philosophy as opposed to “political science” are tough to come by these days, and these talks open a door to a lot of texts I would have blown past otherwise. Great job...”Read full review »

“An interesting selection of works are discussed. The banter and attempts at humor are less than what one should expect from a group of guys who make a podcast about Francis Bacon or William James. Folks on the right in contemporary America are either going to be the funniest or least funny...”Read full review »
