Customer Reviews
As the title says
I generally enjoy longer format podcasts but it’s great to have the option to hear about topics in shorter discussions. The hosts ask good questions and let the guests do most of the speaking. They also lend intelligent and informed perspectives.
Yascha Mounk
Strange that you would platform this guy right after he was suspended from The Atlantic due to a rape allegation.
Excellent format!
Fantastic range of topics discussed with compelling philosophers. The questions posed throughout the interviews take this show to the next level. The interviewee is neither harassed nor given an easy way out. Perfect show length with no meaningless fluff. Very well done, indeed!
