The Philosophy Phorum Podcast, hosted by Dhruv Kapadia, encourages the learning of philosophy by providing a space to understand the history of philosophy and current issues through different perspectives.

By interviewing a variety of people and connecting philosophy to ongoing events, we hope to cultivate epistemic creativity and help individuals value the imperative usefulness of philosophy in their daily lives.
