Key Facts
Reviews
- Conflicted
On the one hand, very well made podcast. On the other, the episode on Diogenes was poorly informed. Seeing as that’s the one topic thus far discussed I’m well versed in, I can’t speak for the other episodes. And in fairness, most summaries of Diogenes are poorly informed, so I don’t know if I can blame specifically this podcast.

I’m learning a lot through this podcast. I wouldn’t go out to learn about philosophy on my own so I’m glad you’ve done the work for us and present the topics in 15 minute episodes 😅 I’m always looking forward to the next one
