“Remember the old adage about philosophy majors and menial jobs? Well, I'm a Philosophy major who is currently a janitor at a school. Having been out of college and raising a family for two or so years, I have been suffering an abject lack of dialectic philosophy. I'm one of those people who, if they don't have a chance to discuss philosophically with someone, I go insane, all Cartesian style. I had decided to start a monthly philosophy discussion locally, and realized that I was very rusty in discussing things, so I began searching for philosophy podcasts to listen to during my 8-hours-a-day of cleaning toilets and vomit.
These three (and their guests) not only got me back into the swing of things, but also provided me with a new viewpoint on material I've known and re-read for over a decade. Their conversational and witty style has actually all but sated my need for discussion, which makes me feel better about how rocky the beginnings of my discussion group have been.

You have given me a deeper appreciation for authors I have read over and over, and have expanded my overall knowledge of world philosophy to such a degree, I feel as if I have stepped back into my 300 and 400 level courses, without the excessive homework and academic stresses. Thank you.”Read full review »

I am currently getting my masters in philosophy, so obviously the discussion is a bit to shallow for me, but nobody can cover as much ground as they do, and in so short a time, at a university. In addition, it serves as a great...”Read full review »

“The podcasts are a great source of insight into philosophy past and present. The interview with Flanagan was so compelling that I bought his book. I, too, look forward to a Zizek episode.”
