Great Introduction
Perhaps one might be turned off by the, at times, monotonous readings but it kind of is what philosophy is at its root. It is a lot of repetition expounding upon the central idea/s of the authors intent or argument. The excitement is acquired from the discovery of these remarkable writings and the application of them today (or disproving). If you want a bedtime story with onamanapeas and tonal fluctuations then try an audio book; the accent in this podcast, however, is provided in the diction and the philosophical lexicon by these western philosophy titans. I think it is a great introduction to philosophy or just a refresher for some.
