Customer Reviews
High Quality & Reliable
This is a second podcast channel from Prof Adamson, of “History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps” fame.
His work is comprehensive, well-informed, and a joy to listen to.
I thoroughly recommend his channels.
Excellent!
Introducing the philosophies of ancient Indian thought with a mental perspicuity that leaves the listener impressed and (mentally) breathless: our host is back, explaining past syllogisms as easily as taking a walk in the park. Wonderful!
Philosophy in bite size
The puns make the podcast less heavy. The interviews with experts can be dense at times. It gave interesting new perspective to Indian history to me despite being Indian.
