Fantastic

I haven’t enjoyed a podcast this much in a long time. The production is simple but the content is incredibly substantial. Having been out of the academic world for a long time, I really enjoyed listening to a lecture in which the topics are engaged deeply and also personally. I love hearing from a philosopher who believes that philosophy matters.
