Great for a Quick Lay(person)
I’ve got a persistent interest in Philosophy, but I’m a layperson with not a lot of time on my hands. Very Bad Wizards has become one of my favorite podcasts because Tamler and David engage with pretty heady topics with a healthy dose of twisted humor and some great guests. This isn’t a Sunday-morning, do-your-reading-beforehand meeting of minds. It’s a Friday-night, bottle-of-Jack-and-some-assorted-pills discussion between friends. When I listen, I know I’m not likely to experience some breakthrough in moral philosophy, but I know that I’ll be able to engage with the topic at hand and hear some frank, funny, and approachable discussion of it. Highly recommended for people who are interested in Philosophy in a pragmatic and modern, Western way. Less recommended for those who want a primarily academic or introductory approach.

I usually loathe left-leaning, ivory-tower intellectuals, but Mr. Sommer and Mr. Pizarro have created a truly great podcast. Always informative and often hilarious, I cannot recommend this highly enough.
