Thank you!
I just want to say that I really appreciate everybody involved in making this podcast. What a huge undertaking! Thank you for sticking with it.
Absolutely great
One of the best and most informative podcasts I’ve listened to. Perfect length and a wonder introduction to great thinkers
Plato is my friend, but Aristotle is also my friend))
I would never read 15 Plato’s dialogues in a row if not for this podcast! It takes a long time to follow the episodes combining it with reading, but at least I know that I have thought provoking material for few following years 🧠
