Teddy Ubermensch ,

So insightful

Dr. McDonald is incredibly insightful and talented at breaking down difficult text, such at Nietzsche, and explaining clearly, and simply enough, for non-philosophers to understand. He gets right to the subject with no ads, is very easy to listen to, and is very thoughtful and methodical. I have found his podcasts on Nietzsche’s, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” an incredibly valuable complement to each chapter of the book.

Great work

I love the work

Superfan Sam ,

Nice presentation

Thanks so much. Can’t get enough of Nietzsche. You explain it with a fresh insight and your own personal spin on the ball! I’m listening to each episode multiple times. Keep up the great work!
