Must listen

My favourite podcast; I listen and re-listen, and hear something new every time :-)

Short and sweet!

Not only is this podcast very good, but I love the way they manage to put a good deal of content into about 15 minutes. A much longer podcast about philosophy could easily be too intimidating, but Edmonds and Warburton manage to make the topics accessible without dumbing them down.

(I'm writing this in English as it's an English language podcast, having per-country reviews is a bit silly.)
