One of my top favorite podcasts
Accessible and thorough with a healthy dose of dry humor
Despite having a philosophy degree already, I never knew how critical giraffes were to philosophical inquiry. Nor did I realize how many philosophical problems could be illustrated with silent film criticism. Thank you for all that you do!
In-depth but accessible and interesting
Peter does a great job of bringing together many different strands of philosophy and making it into an interesting story.
