Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds are entertaining hosts who ask excellent, thought-provoking questions. There are a wonderful selection of guests with interesting arguments that are relevant in contemporary times. Succinct, solid discussions and easy to listen to. As a philosophy graduate, this is my favourite philosophy podcast out there.
Great content

Mr. David

I love the variety of opinions and topics they cover. I like that they were brave enough to invite Kathleen Stock to speak, regardless of how unpopular her opinions are.
Great concept!

What an ignorant short sighted discussion. You should remove it or have a trans person in philosophy follow up. She presents such limited borderline hateful arguments and the moderator barely challenges her. Delete!
