“Even the episodes on topics I was very interested in, I skipped through most of (or quit all together) as the hosts spend half of the time making jokes and talking about things unrelated to the issue.”

“As a philosophy student, I was pondering John Locke's 2nd treatise and I told my professor we are looking at this all wrong, Locke is doing a thought experiment. I thought to myself we got it all wrong! The next day I come across this podcast! Thank you so much! One of the better podcast I...”Read full review »

I very much enjoy every episode, and like others have stated, I think the format and balance of the show are perfect. They always display a keen understanding of source material, but manage to keep the attitude lighthearted and the content...”Read full review »

“I have been hooked on this podcast since I stumbled across it by searching "thought experiments" in my podcast app. I have truly enjoyed the format and subject matter.

“I’ve been looking for a philosophy podcast that goes deeply into a single subject without getting too heady or theoretical. This podcast strikes a great balance between intellectual explorations and much needed levity.”

“The funniest podcast I subscribe to, bar none. Sometimes you learn stuff about philosophy but most of the time it's a lot of witty banter about history and pop culture. I laugh out loud during every episode. These guys are the funniest people on iTunes. p.s. Mark Sanders will you marry me?”

“I don't think philosophical topics are boring, but lectures on them can get a little snooze-inducing. The answer? This podcast. It doesn't give you facts, it encourages you to think. Plus, the guys on the show are funny and smart, even if they can't pronounce "emeritus."”

“Funny & smart. Would be 5-stars if they'd clean up the language. If you like to hear frivolous use of the "F" bomb, this is the podcast you're looking for. . . . Update--apparently they cleaned up the language after episode 11. I give them 5 stars. Way to listen to your fans, guys.”
