Excellent Series but missing episodes

This is a wonderful primer on the history of philosophy. Just wish it had the entire series. It’s missing the first three episodes on Socrates/Plato, Aristotle, and the medieval show focused primarily on Augustine & Aquinas. Hopefully one day these will appear. Well worth checking out, though.
